custom nyfd security gate needed
I want to install a security gate on the inside of a garden apartment casement window. I'd like it to be NYFD compliant with an organic (custom) design to match the decor of the garden. Has anyone out there done a similar project? Can anyone recommend a vendor or welder?

Organic design - I'm picturing carrots and rasishes in metal on the gate :-)
Talk to some of the iron fabricators all over - they make a lot of custom wrought iron gates.
Though it depends on what you want - I've seen some of the custom ones with designs made of some other thinner metal that looks like steel, not wrought iron. And I don't know if the ironworkers around work in other metals, or not.

Thanks for the reply. You're vision was somewhat close - I was thinking more of vines. :)
I'm not sure that a regular metalworker would know how to implement the NYFD gate mechanism which must "lock" from the inside with a special lever and not a key or combo.

Kenney's Iron works (the unusual spelling is correct) in Clinton Hill did a good job for us on a gate for our garden door. He's a character, but did good work and was pretty quick.
