Custom Steel Door Frames and Window Frames for Buildings

t489-34

A custom steel door frame is a steel opening built to the exact size, wall thickness and load of your building, rather than a standard catalog size. Made to measure in our factory at 37 Rival Street, Tel Aviv, it gives builders and renovators a precise fit, a strong structure and a finish suited to the project.

What a Custom Steel Frame Is

A custom steel frame is a structural and protective opening built from steel profiles, cut and welded to the dimensions of a specific door or window. Unlike stock frames, it is designed for the actual wall, opening size and the loads it must carry.

Steel frames are common in residential buildings, shops, commercial entrances and renovation work where the opening needs to be strong, durable and secure. They can be combined with iron doors, aluminum windows or glass elements in the same project.

When to Choose Steel Over Other Frames

Steel suits openings that take heavy use, need extra security or sit in demanding conditions. It also works well when the opening is larger than standard or when the wall must carry added weight from above.

Entrances and service doors with frequent use
Openings that need added security
Non-standard or enlarged openings in renovations
Walls that carry loads from above

The Make-to-Measure Process

Every frame starts with an inquiry and photos of the opening. We then visit the site to measure the wall, the opening and the surrounding conditions, since real walls are rarely perfectly square or level.

Next comes a drawing and a written specification for your approval. Only after you approve it do we move to production, where the frame is cut, assembled and finished before installation.

Materials and Finishing

Steel frames can be finished to protect them against weather and wear. Hot-dip galvanizing gives strong corrosion protection, and powder coating adds a durable colored finish in the tone your project requires.

The right finish depends on exposure. An opening facing the outdoors or near the coast needs a more protective treatment than one inside a sheltered hallway, so we discuss the location before choosing the finish.

Structural and Safety Considerations

A steel frame must be fixed securely to the wall and sized for the load it carries. Connection details, anchoring and the thickness of the profile all affect how the opening performs over time.

For railings and other safety-related elements, the Israeli standard SI 1142 applies. Exact dimensional values are checked with your engineer, and we build to the drawings and specification your engineer provides.

Installation and Coordination

Installation is coordinated with your site schedule, the masonry work and any other trades involved. Frames should be set plumb, level and square so that doors and windows fit correctly afterward.

Check fixing points and anchoring with the engineer

Frequently asked questions

Can you make a steel frame for a non-standard opening?

Yes, every frame is made to measure, so non-standard and enlarged openings are a regular part of our work. We measure the actual opening on site before production.

Do you measure on site before making the frame?

Yes. We visit the site to measure the wall and opening, because real walls often differ from the drawings. The frame is then produced to those measurements.

How is a steel frame protected against rust?

Frames can be hot-dip galvanized and then powder coated for extra protection and a durable finish. The choice depends on how exposed the opening is to weather.

Do you install the frames as well?

Yes, we handle installation and coordinate it with the masonry work and your schedule so the frame is set plumb, level and ready for the door or window.

Common mistakes to avoid

A common mistake is ordering a frame from a rough sketch without measuring the real opening, which leads to poor fit later. Another is ignoring the finish, so the steel corrodes faster than expected in an exposed location.

Our recommendation

Measure the opening yourself and share photos before ordering, and check any load or safety requirements with your engineer first. Choosing the finish based on the location from the start prevents costly rework later.

Summary

Custom steel door frames and window frames are built to the exact size and load of your building, giving a precise, strong and durable opening. We make them to measure in Tel Aviv, from site measurement through finishing and installation.
