Can You Order a Custom Size Iron Door in Tel Aviv?

Why Standard Doors Often Do Not Fit

Many older apartments and houses in Israel were built with openings that do not follow standard sizes. A wall may be a few centimeters narrower at the top, a threshold may be uneven, or the opening may have been adjusted during renovation. Off-the-shelf doors then need trimming, shimming or compromises that affect appearance and security.

A door made to measure avoids these problems because the frame and leaf are sized to the real opening rather than to a catalog dimension.

What Counts as a Non-Standard Opening

Non-standard does not only mean very large or very small. Common examples include:

• Openings that are out of square or slightly taper from top to bottom
• Unusual heights, such as a door that must sit under a beam or lintel
• Doors that open into a space with a specific clearance requirement
• Openings in a row of matching doors that must align precisely

If your opening is irregular in any of these ways, a custom door is usually the most practical choice.

How the Measurement Works

Accurate measuring is the foundation of a good custom door. Our team visits the site, checks width and height at several points, verifies whether the wall is plumb and level, and notes the swing direction, the floor finish and any obstacles. Photos help us, so please send them with your inquiry.

Measure your own opening only as a rough guide. We recommend a professional site measurement before any order is confirmed.

From Drawing to Approval

After measuring, we prepare a drawing and a written specification covering dimensions, frame profile, leaf thickness, lock and hinge positions, glazing if any, and the finish. You review and approve this document before production begins. This step prevents misunderstandings and ensures the door matches what you expected.

Any change you request at this stage is much easier to handle than after the door is built.

Production and Finish

The door is manufactured in our factory on Rival Street in Tel Aviv, where iron and aluminum components are cut, welded and assembled to the approved drawing. Surfaces are then finished, typically by hot-dip galvanizing for corrosion protection and powder coating for color. Because the door is made to measure, we can select the profile and finish that suit the building and the surroundings.

Installation and Fit

Installation is carried out by our team, who check the frame against the wall, set it plumb and secure it properly. Small adjustments to the opening may be needed, and we advise you to agree on who handles wall preparation, such as plastering or tiling, before installation day. A custom door should close smoothly and seal well, and we check both before we leave.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to remove the old door before you measure?

No, you do not need to remove it for the initial measurement. Our team can measure the opening with the existing door in place, although removal may be needed later for installation.

Can a custom iron door have a non-rectangular shape?

Frames and doors can be adapted to a range of irregular openings. Please describe the shape in your inquiry and send photos so we can confirm what is practical.

Will a custom door match an existing door in my building?

We can aim to match profile, color and style, especially when you send a photo of the existing door. Exact matching depends on the original design and is confirmed in the specification.

How do I start the process?

Send us photos of the opening along with its approximate dimensions and the type of door you want. We will then arrange a site visit to take accurate measurements.

Common mistakes to avoid

The most common mistake is ordering from a rough tape measurement taken from one point only, which often misses taper or out-of-square walls. Another is approving a door without checking the drawing for swing direction, lock position and finish.

Our recommendation

Measure the width and height at the top, middle and bottom of the opening, and send photos from both sides. Let a professional confirm the dimensions on site before you commit to any specification.
