- Flat Black Paint – The foundation of the Steampunk door's look. This deep black finish is the perfect canvas for rivets and industrial embellishments.
- Metal Straps and Rivets – Unlike lightweight imitations, these doors use heavy-duty materials that add visual appeal and durability.
- Scuffing for a Vintage Look – Every Steampunk door is deliberately distressed to create a timeworn, industrial effect.
- Black Handles and Locks – The hardware is carefully selected to blend seamlessly with the overall aesthetic.
- Optional Brass Rivets and Cutout Artwork – Customization options include polished brass rivets for contrast or intricate cutouts featuring stars, animals, or custom logos.
Limited Color Palette
Steampunk doors are typically available in black and gray finishes. These tones maintain the integrity of the style while allowing key details to stand out. The limited color options ensure each door retains the authentic industrial appearance that defines the Steampunk aesthetic.

The Battleship vault door is a tribute to the powerful, reinforced doors found on military ships. This style is rugged, with an industrial influence emphasizing strength and durability. If you want a door that looks like it was plucked from the U.S.S. Missouri, this is it.
