I was thinking of the Gimli's song about Durin in Moria: 'A king he was on carven throne...'. While wood can be carved, metal general isn't, and Dwarves do have a special reverence for stone.
I agree about the Gates, though. The only other places east of the Misty Mountains where they could have been made would have been at Erebor or the Iron Hills, both of which were impractically far off.
