Harry,

I recently posted a query to general about wrought iron gates. 
I thought you might be interested in the responses (appended at 
the end) and my experiences. This was my post: 

  We'd like to get a gate made for our front porch (non-standard size,
  like everything else in an old house...).  The rest of the railing 
  is iron, so I'd much prefer iron to wood. Does anyone have any
  (dis-)recommendations for places/people that do this? In particular,
  we've talked to Modern Metals and Bethlehem Wire & Fence Co.

We ended up going with Modern Metals (765-1225). They gave us a 
fairly low quote and had really quick turnaround time (they 
installed it today -- two weeks after they came out to measure, 
and one week after we got around to ordering it). The gate looks
very nice -- solid posts, not hollow; nice welding, and they did
a good job installing it. 

Here are the responses I got to my post. My husband had already 
gotten a lot of quotes before I got around to posting, so we never
followed up on either of these.

 Triangle Welding in the Strip District does  this: 261-6679

I've not bought anything from them, but I stopped by once and their
worked looked really nice.  (Their welds looked nice that is.)  I was
interested in taking a welding course and these folks were of great help
in pointing me in the right direction.
