Custom Width Barrier Gates Matched to Your Entrance

t461-21

A custom width barrier gate is a parking barrier built to the exact clear opening of your existing entrance rather than a standard size. Techno Kol Uzi measures your opening on site, drafts a written specification, and manufactures the barrier in our Tel Aviv factory so it fits the space without modifying the structure.

Why Standard Barrier Sizes Often Fail in Older Entrances

Many parking entrances were built decades ago, before automated access control was common. The openings are rarely the standard widths sold off the shelf, and the gaps around posts, curbs and walls vary from one side to the other. A barrier that is even a few centimeters off can rub against a wall, leave an unsafe gap, or force the builder to cut and reshape masonry.

Choosing a custom width barrier gate avoids those compromises. The arm, housing and mounting points are sized to the actual opening, so the installation looks deliberate and works the way it should from the first day.

How We Measure Your Existing Opening

Accurate measurement is the foundation of a good fit. Our team visits the site and records the clear width between posts or walls, the height of the curb, the depth available for the housing, and the position of any cables, drains or lighting that might interfere.

Measuring at several heights matters, because older walls are seldom perfectly plumb.

From Drawing to Written Specification

Once measurements are taken, we prepare a drawing and a written specification for your approval. It describes the arm length, the housing dimensions, the mounting method and the finish. You review it before production begins, so there are no surprises on installation day.

The specification also states which items are supplied by us and which must be prepared by the builder, such as the foundation and conduit. Clear responsibilities prevent delays between trades.

Manufacturing and Finishing in Our Factory

Every barrier is fabricated in our factory at 37 Rival Street in Tel Aviv, where the arm, frame and housing are cut and welded to the approved drawing. Steel components receive hot-dip galvanizing for corrosion resistance and are then powder coated in the color you choose, which suits the outdoor conditions of a parking area.

Working in-house means we can adjust details during production if the site needs it, without relying on outside suppliers.

Installation and Fitting Checks

On installation day, our crew sets the foundation template, fixes the housing and aligns the arm so it lifts and lowers smoothly within the opening. We check clearances on both sides, confirm the arm stops at the correct positions, and test the safety loop or sensor according to the agreed controls.

Final adjustments are made on site so the barrier runs quietly and clears the opening with a safe margin.

Safety, Standards and Engineering Checks

Parking barriers must be safe for vehicles and pedestrians, and any railings or guarding around the entrance should follow the Israeli railing standard SI 1142 in general terms. Exact dimensional requirements are confirmed with your engineer for your particular site, and we work from those requirements rather than assumptions.

If the entrance includes a pedestrian passage or adjacent railing, we can coordinate the layout so both elements meet the approved design.

Frequently asked questions

Can you match a barrier to an opening that is not a standard width?

Yes. Custom width barrier gates are built to the measured clear opening, so odd or older widths are the normal case for us. We confirm the final dimensions with you before production starts.

Do I need to change the wall or curb before installation?

In most cases no. We design the housing and mounting around the existing structure, although the builder usually prepares the foundation and cable conduit. We will tell you in the specification if any adjustment is advisable.

How long does the process take from first inquiry to installation?

The timeline depends on site access, approval of the drawing and current production load. We provide an estimate of the steps when we speak after your inquiry and site visit.

Can the barrier be painted to match the building?

Yes. Finishes are powder coated in a color you select, and we can advise on durable options for outdoor exposure in Tel Aviv's climate.

Common mistakes to avoid

The most common error is measuring only once at one height and ordering a barrier that jams against an uneven wall. Always measure at the top, middle and bottom of the opening before approving a specification.

Our recommendation

Before ordering, photograph the entrance, note every obstruction, and let the manufacturer measure on site so the arm, housing and foundation are designed around the real conditions rather than a rough estimate.

Summary

A custom width barrier gate built to your measured opening gives a safer, cleaner and more reliable fit than a standard size, especially in renovations.
