How to Request a Custom Gate Quote: A Practical Guide

t273-48

To request a custom gate quote, send clear photos of the opening, a rough description of the size and style you want, and your preferred finish and automation needs. We then measure on site and reply with a written drawing and specification for your approval.

What Information to Prepare Before You Ask

A useful quote starts with good information. Before you contact us, gather a few details so the first conversation moves quickly and accurately.

Photos of the opening and the wall or fence it connects to, taken from a few distances
The approximate width and height of the opening, even if rough
Whether the gate will swing or slide, and which side it opens toward
Whether you want manual operation or an electric motor
The style you prefer, such as solid panels, decorative iron, or glass infill

You do not need exact drawings. Honest estimates and clear photos are enough to start.

Choosing Materials and Finish

Our workshop at 37 Rival Street produces gates from iron, aluminum, stainless steel and glass. Each material suits different needs. Iron offers strength and classic detail, aluminum is lighter and resists corrosion well, and stainless steel suits a modern look in exposed areas.

Finish matters as much as material. Hot-dip galvanizing protects steel from rust, and powder coating adds color and an extra layer of protection. Tell us which color or look you have in mind, and we will recommend a finish that fits your climate and surroundings.

Understanding the Measurement Visit

After receiving your inquiry, we arrange an on-site measurement. This is the step that makes the quote reliable. We check the opening, the ground level, the posts, the swing clearance and any slope or obstacles that affect the design.

During the visit we also discuss how the gate will be hung and whether it needs reinforcement, a motor mount or cabling. Measuring on site prevents the surprises that often appear when a gate is built from estimates alone.

What Your Written Quote Includes

Your quote is not just a number. It is a written specification and drawing that describes the gate in detail, so you know exactly what will be produced and installed.

Overall dimensions and the drawing of the gate
Materials, profiles and the chosen finish
Operation type, including any automation components
Installation scope and what is included

Review the document carefully. You can request changes to design, size or finish before anything goes into production.

Approval, Production and Installation

Once you approve the drawing and specification, production begins in our factory. Each gate is made to measure, cut, welded or assembled, and then finished with the coating you selected. Working in one workshop helps us keep control of quality from start to finish.

Installation follows production. We confirm the schedule with you in advance and aim to leave the site clean and the gate operating properly before we finish.

Safety and Standards to Keep in Mind

Gates must be safe for children, pets and users, and must operate smoothly over time. For automated gates, safety features such as obstacle detection and proper electrical connections are essential. Railings and guards in the same project should follow the Israeli railing standard SI 1142, and our engineer will confirm the exact requirements for your case.

If your gate is part of a larger building project, share the relevant plans so the quote fits the wider design.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to receive a quote?

After we receive your photos and details, we schedule an on-site measurement and then send a written drawing and specification. The timing depends on our current workload and your location within Israel.

Do I need to measure the opening myself?

Rough measurements help, but you do not need to be precise. We take the exact measurements during our site visit, which is the basis for a reliable quote.

Can I change the design after approving the quote?

Changes are possible before production starts. Once the gate is in production, further changes may affect the timeline and the final scope, so it is best to review the drawing carefully first.

Do you install the gate as well?

Yes, installation is part of our process. The installation scope is listed in your written quote so you know exactly what is included.

Common mistakes to avoid

Many buyers send a single blurry photo or skip the measurement step, which leads to revisions later. Confirm the swing direction, ground conditions and automation needs before approving any drawing.

Our recommendation

Take at least three photos of the opening from different angles and note any slope or obstacles near the gate. This small effort makes the measurement visit faster and the final quote more accurate.

Summary

A good custom gate quote starts with clear photos, rough measurements and your preferred style, and is confirmed by an on-site visit and a written drawing. Review the specification carefully before you approve production.
