An arch top door is a steel-and-glass door whose head is formed to a true radius curve rather than a square line. The arch changes the character of a door: where a square head reads modern and direct, a true radius arch brings warmth and a sense of permanence, the line you find in old-world architecture, drawn here in slim modern steel.
Forming a clean arch in steel is craft work. The top rail is bent to a true radius, the glass is cut to follow it, and the muntins are spaced so the curve feels resolved rather than approximated. We draw the radius to suit your opening and elevation, then weld and finish the frame by hand in Mod Metal Doors' Central Texas shop.
Arch-top doors work beautifully as entries, courtyard doors, and interior passages in homes that lean toward Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, or Hill Country architecture, and they pair naturally with arch-top windows and transoms across the same elevation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can an arch top steel door be made to fit an existing arched opening?
Yes. The radius is drawn to your specific opening rather than chosen from stock curves, which makes arch top doors as workable in renovations as in new builds. Field measurements and CAD drawings confirm the curve before fabrication.
What home styles suit arch top steel doors?
Arch top doors sit naturally in Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, and Texas Hill Country architecture, where the curved head echoes existing lines. They pair with arch-top windows and transoms so the radius carries across the whole elevation.
How long does a custom arch top door take to build?
Forming a true radius in steel is craft work, but fabrication still typically runs 4–6 weeks, depending on complexity. Every arch top door is built in Mod Metal Doors' Central Texas shop and installed statewide.
