Do You Install Gates or Only Supply Them? Our Answer

Supply and installation from one workshop

Many buyers assume a metal workshop only makes the gate and leaves the fitting to someone else. At Techno Kol Uzi, the factory at 37 Rival Street in Tel Aviv builds each gate to your measurements, and the same team handles the installation. This means the people who understand the design are the ones who fix it to your wall, post, or driveway.

Having one supplier avoids the common gap where a gate arrives that does not fit the opening, and each party blames the other.

What the installation covers

Installation usually includes checking the opening on site, setting the posts or frame, hanging the leaves, and adjusting the gate so it swings or slides smoothly. For electric parking gates, the work also includes positioning the motor and checking the operation.

• Final measurement on site before production
• Fixing to the wall, post, or concrete base
• Alignment, hinge and roller adjustment
• Test of opening, closing, and locking

The steps from inquiry to fitted gate

The process starts with an inquiry, ideally with photos of the opening. We then measure on site and prepare a drawing and a written specification. After you approve it, the gate is produced in the factory and finished, with hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating as needed. The last step is installation at your property.

Each stage is confirmed with you, so there are no surprises when the gate arrives.

Preparing your yard or entrance

Before installation day, it helps to clear the area where the gate will swing or slide and to confirm that the posts or wall are sound. If you are pouring a new concrete base, the timing should be agreed in advance so the gate is fixed once the concrete has set.

Tell us early if there are cables, pipes, or a slope at the entrance, as these affect how the gate is fixed and how it moves.

Making sure the gate meets safety rules

Gates and railings in Israel should follow the relevant standards, including the general railing standard SI 1142. We refer to these requirements in general terms, and exact dimensions and fixing details are checked with the engineer for your specific site. Safety features such as gap spacing and secure locking are discussed during the planning stage.

When supply only makes sense

Some customers already have a contractor who will fit the gate, and in that case we can supply the gate alone to their specification. Still, combined supply and fitting is usually simpler, because the same team measures, builds, and fixes the gate, and you deal with one contact throughout.

Frequently asked questions

Do you install the gate at my home?

Yes, installation is part of our service. We measure the opening on site, fit the gate, and check that it operates properly before we finish.

Can you supply a gate without installing it?

Yes, if you have your own contractor, we can supply the gate built to your specification. Let us know your plans when you make the inquiry.

Do you install electric parking gates too?

Yes, electric parking gates are part of what we make and fit, including positioning the motor and testing the operation on site.

What do I need to prepare before installation?

Clear the area where the gate will move, confirm the posts or wall are sound, and tell us about any cables, pipes, or slopes at the entrance.

Common mistakes to avoid

A common mistake is ordering a gate before the opening is measured on site, which often leads to a gate that does not fit. Another is buying the gate from one supplier and the fitting from another, which can leave you with no clear party responsible for problems.

Our recommendation

Choose a supplier who measures on site, produces to that measurement, and fits the gate themselves. Ask for a written specification before production so you know exactly what will be delivered and installed.

Summary

Techno Kol Uzi both makes and installs gates for homes and yards, handling measurement, production, finishing, and fitting in one process. If you prefer supply only, that is possible too, but combined service keeps responsibility in one place.
