In the Middle Ages, wrought iron gates were meticulously crafted by blacksmiths using hammers and anvil. These gates were not merely functional; they were works of art, adorned with intricate patterns, heraldic symbols, and flowing vines. Each gate was a unique creation, reflecting the skill and imagination of its maker. The process began with the smelting of iron ore into blooms, which were then hammered into thinner rods and shaped into intricate designs. This labor-intensive process required immense patience and skill, making each gate a precious possession.
As the Industrial Revolution swept across Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, wrought iron gates underwent a transformation.

The introduction of machinery, such as forges and power hammers, drastically reduced the time required to produce ironwork. Yet, despite this mechanization, the artistry and craftsmanship remained integral to the process. Skilled artisans continued to design and oversee the production of wrought iron gates, ensuring that they retained their unique charm and beauty.

The modern production of wrought iron gates is a blend of tradition and technology. The design phase often begins with computer-aided drawing (CAD) software, allowing for precise measurements and detailed renderings of the proposed gate. However, the true essence of them lies in the hands of the craftsmen who bring these designs to life. Using a combination of machinery and traditional tools, they forge and shape the iron into intricate patterns, carefully welding the pieces together to create a sturdy and beautiful structure.

The welding process is critical in modern wrought iron gate production. It allows for stronger and more complex designs than were possible with traditional riveting techniques. Skilled welders use a variety of welding techniques, including MIG, TIG, and stick welding, to ensure that the joints are both strong and visually pleasing. Once the welding is complete, the gates undergo a rigorous inspection process to ensure that they meet the good standards of quality and safety.
