Custom Steel Gate Frames Built for Secure Access
t489-12

A custom steel gate frame is the structural base that carries your gate panels, hinges, locks and automation. Built to measure in our Tel Aviv factory, it keeps the gate square, aligned and secure for years of daily use.
What a Custom Steel Gate Frame Does
The frame is the skeleton of your gate. It holds the infill, takes the load of the hinges and the motor, and keeps the opening square under wind and daily use. When the frame is weak or poorly matched to the opening, the gate sags, rubs on the ground and eventually fails at the hinges or the lock.
A frame built specifically for your opening distributes weight correctly, so the gate swings smoothly and stays secure over time.
Why Build to Measure
No two driveways or property lines are identical. Standard frames rarely fit uneven walls, slopes or existing pillars. A custom frame is measured on site, drawn to your exact opening and adapted to the wall, the ground and the type of access you need.
- Exact fit to your opening and wall structure
- Correct profile thickness for the gate width and weight
- Room planned for automation, keypads and intercoms
Choosing the Right Steel Profile
The profile size and wall thickness decide how the frame performs under load. Wider gates and heavier infill need heavier sections and more reinforcement at the hinge and latch sides. Lighter profiles suit smaller pedestrian gates where weight is modest.
We discuss the intended use, the gate size and any planned automation before recommending a profile, so the frame is neither overbuilt nor under-engineered.
Secure Access Details
Security depends on more than the panel. The frame must give the lock a solid anchor point, leave space for strike plates and allow concealed or reinforced hinge mounting. Gaps at the latch side or flexing at the hinge side are common weak points we design out.
Where a gate will be fitted with electric locking or a motor, the frame is prepared with the mounting points in place rather than adapted later on site.
Finishing for Durability
Steel gate frames live outdoors, so corrosion protection matters. Our frames are finished with hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating, which together give strong resistance to rust and weather. The finish is chosen to suit the colour and style of your property.
Proper finishing protects the frame joints as well as the visible surface, which extends the life of the gate.
From Measurement to Installation
The process starts with your inquiry and photos, followed by an on-site measurement. We then prepare a drawing and a written specification, which you approve before production begins. The frame is manufactured in our factory, finished, and installed at your property.
Each step is confirmed with you, so the final frame matches what was agreed, with no surprises at the installation stage.
Frequently asked questions
What is a custom steel gate frame?
It is a steel structure made to the exact dimensions of your gate opening. It carries the gate panels, hinges, locks and any automation.
Can a custom frame be fitted to an existing opening?
Yes. We measure the opening on site and adapt the frame to the existing walls, pillars and ground level.
How do I know what steel profile my gate needs?
It depends on gate width, weight and whether it will be automated. We recommend the profile after reviewing these details with you.
Is a steel gate frame suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, when it is properly finished. Hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating provide strong protection against weather and rust.
Common mistakes to avoid
Ordering a gate frame without an on-site measurement often leads to misfit hinges and sagging panels. Choosing a lighter profile than the gate weight requires is another common and costly error.
Our recommendation
Plan the automation, locks and hinge positions before the frame is made, not after. Ask for a written specification and drawing to approve, so the frame is built right the first time.
Summary
A custom steel gate frame, measured and built to your opening, gives a square, secure and long-lasting gate. Built in Tel Aviv since 1945, it is the foundation of reliable driveway and perimeter access.
