Scam
Hello everyone, I am writing this as an obligated consumer in our free market economy to warn all others, so that they do not make the same MISTAKE as i have made in the past. I decided to choose affordable iron doors as the company where i would purchase my iron door. Gary Duncan, the lying, ### owner, tempted me with his guarantees, and his extremely low...

If this helps one person and keeps them from doing business with this fraudulent, dishonest, immoral person it will be worth my time.
My husband and I are building a custom home. We decided to use Affordable Iron Door for our front door based on a great price point and a guarantee for the owner, Gary Duncan, that our door would be delivered within 8 weeks or it was free. We put a 50% deposit down and were anxiously awaiting an update on status for our door. At the 7 week mark not a word from Gary. We inquired and were told that we had not ordered the door until 2 weeks prior? Hummm...our credit card was charged the day we placed the order giving us proof of order date, 7 weeks prior to the call. At the 10 week mark our home is through frame inspection and now has to be boarded up since Gary has not followed through on his promised delivery. We had no communication from Gary until another call is placed by my husband. At this point we get another story. Now our door was involved in the floods in China. Completely understandable if he had called us or emailed us or sent a sky writer...but he did not. The bottom line is through the 13+ weeks of dealing with Gary and his company we were never given accurate information. We have cancelled our order and have now had to go back to our credit card company to try to recoup the initial deposit. Gary has caused extensive delays and a much greater overall expense
Misleading product
This guys website says that they have been in business for 10 years. After further investigation they have been in business 1 1/2 years. The doors are not finished very well after they are fabricated. I believe they come out of China and they are not energy efficient.
Their showroom is a tiny strip mall suite with about 15 doors to view. They are just a broker in my opinion. I would not be surprised if they were in business one day and gone the next. Be aware if you are giving them a deposit for a custom door as the lead-time is very long and you could loose your money.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Testimonials
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for our wonderful door. We absolutely love it. Your installers did an impeccable job putting it in. I'm so happy with the quality of your product as well as the installation. It was well worth the wait. Our neighbors have already been complimenting the door. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend your company.
Thanx again,
Mark Bachard, Stevenson Ranch, CA
"Thanks for the phone call following up on the installation of my door. You were right the installation
went very smoothly and Hank did a great job. I refered a couple of people that came over to see the door
when Hank was here and I think he stopped by to get the measurements from one on his way home.
Hopefully this will bring some additional jobs your way". Thanks again,

Sam LaPorte - Monrovia, CA
I would like to add my experience with Mr. Duncan. I too was frustrated as I had placed and order of 5 doors with Mr. Duncan. There was a brief time (approx. 2-3 weeks) that I was left incommunicado, however Mr. Duncan came through and AS PROMISED delivered a quality product, be it several weeks later than anticipated. He compensated with a discount on the doors. I am convinced that Mr. Duncan was placed in a horrible situation and has made it through while maintaining his quality standard as well as his dignity. As a builder, I am pleased to continue to do business and place additional orders with Mr. Duncan and his company. S**t happens to everyone, the important thing is how one handles the situation. I am convinced that Mr. Duncan made the best of a potentially devastating situation and came through as promised.

I too bought a door from Affordable Iron Doors and waited a really long time to get it. However, after Gary explained their company had been a victim of theft from a previous manufacturer in China and being that we were referred to him by our builder… we trusted the information in their weekly update report. Once we did finally get the door, Gary gave us a nice discount for the inconvenience + the new product was even nicer than the samples in the showroom! Long story short...I would definitely buy another door or refer a family member to Affordable Iron Doors.

Hello,
My name is Gary Duncan; I am the owner of Affordable Iron Doors in Los Angeles, CA. I accept full responsibility for any negative comment or reviews placed on this or any other website on line. However there are always 2 sides to each story, please allow me to explain the circumstances...
We had been doing business with a once reputable company in China named FUJIAN SHENGEN ARTS & CRAFTS CO., LTD.No.2, Xinguang road, Xinyang industrial park, Haicang district, Xiamen, China TEL: +[protected] FAX: +[protected] ZIP: 361022. Contact name: Simon 011-861-[protected] simonzhongxb@hotmail.com
Unfortunately that manufacturer resolved they were tired of dealing with the pressures felt by a more established local dealer that had lost allot of sales to our young company.
First the two conspired to destroy the credibility and reputation of Affordable Iron Doors in the most vicious manner imaginable. Next we had been notified by the manufacturer of a massive flood that had demolished their facility sending multiple workers to the hospital which resulted in additional delays leaving some clients to begin questioning the legitimacy of the situation. This however was later proven to be false based on the inability of the manufacturer to provide evidence and later by their own admission. The final blow was the last container of doors we ordered never arrived whatsoever and even worse they had been paid in full!
Affordable Iron Doors took immediate action to update each client as well as offer a reasonable discount on every order. Then we focused on correcting this set back with a giant leap forward introducing an entirely new line of heavy duty 12 gauge iron doors made from a distinguished overseas manufacturers that has now custom built each door we sell to pass coastal hurricane tests...making it one of the finest doors available in the world!
We sincerely apologize to all of our many clients who were affected by the dishonesty of the previous manufacturer. Affordable Iron Doors can positively assure you this was an isolated incident that has since been resolved and put into the past. A special thank you to those great clients who stood by our side, never forgetting that it's not what happens to us in life, but how we handle it.
Thank You,
Gary Duncan

Please note that the man who posred this review, doe not even exsist nor has he ever purchases a door from our company. We are confused to see how such an "expert" can make such claims with out even owning the product. Unfortunatley competitors who don't sell many doors just sit around on You tube and google in the hopes they can catch up to the leaders in their industry.
Did this man ever even buy a door from anyone? Why does he not leave his contact info?, seems like an effort to help the public to make the right decision, but falls flat when he didn't leave his personal story or contact information.
Affordable Iron Doors challange any company in the world to match our Quality, Service or Price!

We are very sorry to see that one of our favorite clients has become upset and decided the best way to handle the problem would be to post multiple negative reviews across the Internet. This is really unfortunate because this particular client had been referred to us from a very established lumber company that we've done business with for a really long time which has produced many satisfied clients who did receive their order exactly on time. The long story short was that this clients project was running behind and so was that shipment of doors. Affordable Iron Doors stepped up with a substantial discount and had apologized repeatedly while constantly keeping the client up to date with status updates.
Most important part for the readers is that this client has now agreed to wait the 3 weeks it had been late in exchange for evidence of a flood that had occurred at our factory overseas...Really just got blown out of proportion. Bottom line is that soon our client will have a beautiful iron door that they will appreciate for many years to come and always have the piece of mind knowing they got the best price and longest warranty in the industry!
