Friend brings over an old roller type hardware, that goes on the door, snow knocked door off, door in snow, friends dad bends door hdwe after hitting door in snow with the jd 2020. Son warned about door, got er anyway. Thing is bent up, but looks easy to put it right back.

Must be old, steel does not clang like mild steel if you drop it on the concrete floor more of metallic thud. Thing is made of bent 3/4"-1" wide strips, about 5/16" thick, maybe enough heat to make it dull orange and bend er back slow, hammer straight without deforming metal, theh quench in water after or cool slow ?

Hopin not to crack or embrittle it, looks easy to restore the shape though, and its almost nostalgic, was on the old cow barn door before it's new found use.

Depending on the age, it might be actual iron.
If you have it down to bare metal and it looks like it has a wood grain pattern, then it probably is straight iron. Is it magnetic? Heat it up, bend it, and either slow cool or oil quench. Best bet is slow cool.

It should straighten with heat and let it slow cool. Quenching it could make it break. Dave
