While idly searching for items that might be the must-have finishing touch for a castle, I came across Olde Good Things, an architectural salvage company. They carry everything from lanterns to used flooring and original wrought iron fencing and doors. Prices range from original Victorian iron fence segments for $35, to beautiful Art Nouveau iron door panels in the multi-thousand dollar range. The site does tend to lean towards the higher end of the price scale, so it probably won't work so good for those of us on a budget. Good to look at for inspiration or fun though!
Van Dyke's Restorer's is another business that has a large (free) catalog that features lots of interesting items. While they sell mostly Victorian reproduction goods, many of the items would look fine in a castle; they do have a good selection of wrought iron hardware such as hinges, door handles, pulls, and locks.
