Do You Install Doors Yourselves? Our Fitting Answer

What We Mean by Installation

When we say we install a door, we mean the complete job at your property: checking the opening, fixing the frame, hanging the leaf, adjusting the hinges and locks, and making sure the door opens, closes and seals properly. Our doors are made to measure at our factory on Rival Street in Tel Aviv, so the fitting is the final stage of a process that starts with a site visit.

Installation covers the door itself and the immediate fixing details. Wall repairs, plastering, tiling or painting around the opening are usually separate trades, and we will tell you clearly what falls outside our scope before work begins.

When Our Team Fits the Door

We fit the iron and aluminum doors we supply in most residential and commercial situations. The advantage is that the person who measured the opening is the same person who builds and fits the door, so measurement errors are caught early.

• Doors ordered from us for a specific opening
• Building entrances and shared stairwell doors
• Security and balcony-side doors
• Projects where an architect has specified our work

When Hiring a Separate Installer Makes Sense

There are situations where you may prefer a different arrangement, for example when a door is supplied to you without our fitting, or when the surrounding works are being done by a contractor who wants to control the sequence. In those cases, a separate installer may suit you.

If you bring in another installer, we recommend sharing our drawing and written specification with them, so the frame dimensions, opening direction and hardware match what was produced.

How the Process Works Step by Step

Our usual sequence is simple and gives you a clear picture before anything is built.

• Send us photos of the opening and your requirements
• We visit the site and measure
• We prepare a drawing and written specification for your approval
• The door is made in our factory and finished
• We install it and check operation together with you

Preparing the Opening Before We Arrive

A few simple preparations help the fitting go smoothly. Clear the area around the opening, make sure the floor is roughly level where the door will sit, and tell us about any existing wall damage or tiling that may affect the frame.

If the opening is still rough, it is often better to wait until the walls are finished before the final measurement, so the frame sits square and the gaps are even.

Exact Tolerances and Safety Checks

Doors must open smoothly, close fully and secure properly, and where relevant, follow the requirements of the applicable Israeli standards. We do not guess at specific values: final clearances, fixing methods and any safety details are checked with the engineer on your project before fitting, so the result is correct for your particular opening.

After installation we test the door several times, check the locking and confirm the seal, and we walk you through how to operate and maintain it.

Frequently asked questions

Do you install the doors you sell?

Yes, installation of the iron and aluminum doors we manufacture is part of our service. We measure, make and fit the door so responsibility for the result stays in one place.

Can I hire my own installer instead?

Yes, you can. If you do, share our drawing and specification with your installer so the frame and hardware match the door we produce.

Do I need to be home during fitting?

It is helpful to be present for the final check so you can see the door operate and ask questions. We will confirm the timing with you when we arrange the visit.

Who handles repairs to the wall around the door?

Wall repairs such as plastering or tiling are usually separate trades. We will tell you in advance what is included in our work and what is not.

Common mistakes to avoid

A common mistake is measuring the opening before walls, floors and tiling are finished, which can leave the door too tight or with uneven gaps. Another is buying a door and hiring someone without sharing the specification, which often leads to misfit frames.

Our recommendation

Measure and fit once the opening is in its final state, and keep one team responsible for both the door and its installation. Ask for a written drawing and specification before production so you know exactly what is being built.

Summary

We install the iron and aluminum doors we make, handling measurement, manufacture and fitting in one process. If you prefer a separate installer, we will provide the specification they need.
