Door Upgrade Consultation: Booking Your On-Site Visit

t419-49

A door upgrade consultation is an in-person visit where our team inspects your current entrance, takes exact measurements and discusses materials, security and finish options. You receive a written specification and drawing before any production begins.

What Happens During the Visit

A door upgrade consultation starts with a walk-through of your entrance, whether it is a private house door, a shared building entrance or a service door. Our technician checks the frame, the wall structure, the swing direction and how the door meets the floor and threshold. Photos are taken and noted so nothing depends on memory.

We then measure the opening precisely, including height, width and depth at several points, because older walls are rarely perfectly square. The conversation covers how the door is used, how often, and what you want it to achieve.

Choosing Between Iron and Aluminum

Iron doors offer strength and a substantial feel, which suits entrances that need robust security. Aluminum doors are lighter, resist corrosion well and suit modern facades and large glazed panels. Many clients combine both, using a steel frame with aluminum infill or glass sections.

Iron: solid security, traditional or contemporary designs
Aluminum: lighter weight, low maintenance, slim profiles
Glass inserts: daylight and visibility, with safety glazing

Security and Practical Features

Security is decided by the lock system, frame reinforcement and how the door is hung. We discuss multipoint locking, hinge type, peepholes or intercoms, and anti-lift details. Each option is matched to the way your entrance is actually used and to the building conditions.

Practical features such as weather sealing, threshold height and automatic closers are also reviewed, since they affect comfort and daily use as much as appearance.

Finishes and Appearance

Finish choices include hot-dip galvanizing for corrosion protection and powder coating in a range of colors. We show how each finish looks on the chosen material and explain how it performs near the sea or in shaded, damp areas.

If you have a building committee or an architect, we can align the door with existing facade elements, so the new entrance fits the overall appearance of the property.

From Consultation to Installation

After the visit you receive a written specification and a drawing showing dimensions, opening direction, materials and finish. Nothing goes into production until you approve these documents. This keeps surprises out of the process and gives everyone a clear reference.

Once approved, the door is manufactured in our Tel Aviv factory, finished and then installed at your property by our team.

Preparing for Your Visit

To make the most of your appointment, have a few things ready: photos of the current door and entrance, any existing drawings or building information, and a clear idea of what is bothering you about the current door. Note whether you need a single door, a double door or a door combined with side panels.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an on-site consultation take?

Most visits take enough time to measure, inspect and discuss options thoroughly. The exact duration depends on how many openings are involved and the complexity of the entrance.

Do I need to be home during the visit?

It is helpful if you or a representative can be present to show access points and discuss your preferences. Building committees and contractors can also arrange for someone to attend on your behalf.

Will I get a drawing before production starts?

Yes. You receive a written specification and drawing that you approve before any manufacturing begins, so you know exactly what will be built.

Can the door match an existing building style?

Yes. We take the surrounding facade and existing elements into account and can propose designs that harmonize with the property, including coordination with architects or interior designers.

Common mistakes to avoid

Many people measure only the visible opening and skip checking the wall depth and floor level, which later causes fit problems. Booking the visit before collecting photos and the existing door details also makes the consultation less efficient.

Our recommendation

Prepare photos of the opening from both sides and note how the door is used daily before the visit. Ask for the written drawing to be checked against the actual opening before approving production.

Summary

A door upgrade consultation gives you accurate measurements, material and security advice, and a written specification before anything is built. Book an in-person visit to start with a clear plan.
