Custom Double Iron Doors for Wide Entrances in Israel

Why wide entrances need double doors

A single leaf becomes heavy, hard to balance and prone to sagging once it passes a certain width. Splitting the opening into two leaves keeps each door light enough to hang straight and operate smoothly for years. Double doors also give you a generous passage for furniture, guests and deliveries without requiring one oversized, awkward panel.

For homes with arched or unusually shaped openings, two leaves can be fitted to the curve with a top section that follows the arch, so the entrance keeps its original character.

Measuring and drawing your opening

Accurate measurement is the foundation of a good door. Our team visits your home, checks width, height and the depth of the frame, and notes whether the floor is level and whether the wall is plumb. Arched openings are measured at several points so the top section matches the actual curve rather than an assumed one.

From these measurements we prepare a drawing and a written specification covering leaf sizes, frame details, locking points and finish. You review and approve it before any material is cut.

Choosing the design and hardware

Iron doors can be solid, decorative or fitted with glass and ventilation panels. Think about how much light and visibility you want, how much privacy you need, and how the door will look from the street as well as from inside.

• Solid panels for maximum privacy
• Decorative scrolls or geometric patterns
• Glass or mesh inserts for light and airflow
• Multi-point locking for security

Hinges and locks should be chosen for the weight of the leaves and how often the doors will be used.

How the doors are made and finished

Every door is cut, welded and assembled in our Tel Aviv factory, where the frame and leaves are checked against the approved drawing before leaving the workshop. Iron and aluminum components are prepared for outdoor exposure, typically with hot-dip galvanizing for steel parts and powder coating for the final colour.

Finishing matters in a coastal climate, so we advise a protective coat suited to the exposure of your entrance, especially if it faces the sea or direct sun.

Installation and fitting on site

Installation begins with confirming the frame is square and secure. The leaves are hung, aligned and adjusted so they close evenly without rubbing at the meeting edge. We check the threshold, the seals and the locking points before finishing, so the doors operate smoothly from the first day.

Once fitted, a simple routine of cleaning and occasional lubrication of hinges keeps the doors performing well over time.

Questions to ask before ordering

Before you commit, it helps to clarify a few points with your supplier so there are no surprises on installation day.

• Is the measurement taken on site and checked on the drawing?
• Are the leaf sizes and the arch shape confirmed in writing?
• Which finish is proposed for your exposure?
• Who handles installation and final adjustment?

Clear answers to these questions make the whole process faster and more predictable.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make double iron doors for an arched opening?

Yes. The opening is measured at several points, and the top section is shaped to follow the arch. The leaves are then built to fit that exact curve.

Do you measure on site before making the doors?

Yes. Our team measures width, height, frame depth and wall alignment on site, then prepares a drawing for your approval before production starts.

How are the doors protected against weather?

Steel parts are typically hot-dip galvanized and then powder coated. The right finish depends on how exposed your entrance is to sun, rain and sea air.

Who installs the doors?

Installation is handled with the same care as production, including squaring the frame, hanging and aligning the leaves, and checking the locks and seals.

Common mistakes to avoid

Ordering from a rough measurement or skipping the approved drawing often leads to doors that do not fit the opening or the arch. Always confirm exact dimensions on site before production begins.

Our recommendation

Measure the opening at the top, middle and bottom, and in the case of an arch, at several points along the curve. Share these figures with your supplier so the drawing reflects the real opening.

Summary

Custom double iron doors give wide and arched entrances a precise, durable fit, built from an on-site measurement and an approved drawing. Techno Kol Uzi in Tel Aviv has been manufacturing to measure since 1945.
