Can You Order a Gate in a Custom Size and Finish?

Why Standard Gates Often Don't Fit

Most gates sold off the shelf come in fixed sizes, and real properties rarely match them. Uneven walls, sloped driveways, older openings and irregular garden entrances all call for dimensions that catalogue products cannot offer.

A custom gate is designed around your actual opening rather than forcing the opening to suit the gate. This avoids gaps, awkward trims and the compromises that come with a near-fit.

How a Custom Gate Order Works

The process starts with an inquiry, ideally with photos of the opening and the surrounding area. Next, our team measures on site to capture the real dimensions, including any slope or obstacles.

• Drawing and written specification for your approval
• Production in our factory on Rival Street in Tel Aviv
• Finishing, then installation at your property

You review the drawing before production begins, so the final gate matches what you agreed.

Choosing a Custom Finish

Finish matters as much as size, especially for outdoor gates exposed to sun, rain and salt air. For iron gates we commonly use hot-dip galvanizing as a base, then powder coating in the colour you choose.

Powder coating offers a wide range of colours and textures, so the gate can match your façade, fence or window frames. Tell us your preferred colour when you inquire so it is reflected in the specification.

Details to Confirm Before Ordering

Some details are easier to settle at the start. Consider the following when you prepare your request:

• Clear width and height of the opening
• Type of opening: swing or sliding, and which side it opens to
• Whether you want a pedestrian gate, a vehicle gate or both
• Desired design, infill pattern and colour

Our engineer confirms structural details during the site visit.

Safety and Structural Considerations

A custom gate must be sized and built to carry its own weight and to operate smoothly over time. Wider and heavier gates need stronger posts, hinges and, for vehicle gates, appropriate hardware.

Where railings or barriers are part of the design, the Israeli railing standard SI 1142 is relevant. Exact technical values are checked with the engineer for your specific installation rather than assumed.

Getting Started With Your Request

To begin, send photos of the opening, a rough width and height, and any design ideas you have. We will arrange a measurement visit and reply with a drawing and written specification.

Once you approve the specification, production starts in our factory, which has operated since 1945 and is run today by the third generation of the family.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make a gate for an unusual or irregular opening?

Yes. Gates are made to measure after an on-site inspection, so irregular widths, heights and sloped openings are handled in the design.

Can I choose any colour for my gate?

Colour is selected through powder coating over a galvanized base. Share your preferred colour at the inquiry stage so it appears in the specification.

Do I need to measure before contacting you?

Rough measurements and photos are helpful, but our team measures on site for accuracy before production begins.

Do you install the gate as well?

Yes, installation is part of the process after finishing is complete. The steps are inquiry, measurement, drawing, approval, production, finishing and installation.

Common mistakes to avoid

Ordering from rough estimates without an on-site measurement is the most common error, leading to poor fit. Choosing a finish without considering outdoor exposure can also shorten the gate's life.

Our recommendation

Measure the opening at the top, middle and bottom, and note any slope before you inquire. Then decide on the finish early so the gate is specified correctly the first time.

Summary

Custom-size gates and custom finishes are available, made to measure at our Tel Aviv factory after an on-site measurement. Send photos and rough dimensions to start the process.
