How to Request a Quote for Balcony Security Bars

What to Prepare Before You Contact Us

A good quote starts with good information. Before you reach out, decide roughly which openings you want to protect: a balcony railing area, a ground-floor window, or a French door. Think about how the space is used, since a child's room needs different spacing than a storage room.

Also note the building type and whether the bars will go on a private apartment or a shared building, because building committees often have rules about appearance and placement.

Which Photos and Details to Send

Photos do most of the work in the first step. Take them straight on and from a slight angle so the frame, wall and surroundings are visible. Include one wide shot showing the whole area and one close shot of the opening.

• Photos of each opening you want covered
• Approximate width and height of each opening
• Wall material if you know it, such as concrete, brick or stone
• Preferred style, for example straight, decorative or minimal

How On-Site Measurement Works

After we review your photos, we arrange a visit to measure the openings precisely. Exact measurements matter because a bar that is off by a few millimeters will not sit correctly in the frame or fixing points.

During the visit we check the mounting surface, note any obstacles such as shutters or pipes, and confirm how the bars will be anchored. This is also a good moment to ask questions in person.

What Your Written Specification Includes

Once measurements are complete, you receive a drawing and a written specification. It describes the bar profile, spacing, finish, fixing method and overall dimensions for each opening.

Read it carefully and check every opening against your own list. If anything looks different from what you pictured, tell us before approval so we can adjust the drawing.

Approving the Quote and Production Steps

Your approval of the drawing and specification is the trigger for production. Once approved, the work is manufactured in our Tel Aviv factory, then finished with the chosen coating before installation.

Keeping the approved document is useful for your records and for any building committee that needs to review the work.

Tips for a Smooth Request

A few habits make the process faster. Send all photos in one message, mention every opening you want included, and state any deadline you are working toward. If you are coordinating with a contractor or architect, share their contact so we can align on details.

Clear communication at the start usually means fewer revisions later.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be home for the on-site measurement?

It is best to be present or to arrange for someone to let us in. We need access to each opening and the mounting surfaces to measure accurately.

Can I request a quote for just one window?

Yes. We quote single openings as well as full balconies, so you can start with the most important area and expand later.

What if I am not sure about the style I want?

Send photos of styles you like, even from other buildings. We can suggest options that fit your balcony and the look of your building.

Will the quote include installation?

Your written specification explains what is included for each job, so review it carefully before approving. Any questions about scope can be settled before production starts.

Common mistakes to avoid

Sending blurry or cropped photos and skipping the measurement details causes most delays. Approving a drawing without checking each opening against your own list can lead to costly corrections later.

Our recommendation

Send at least one wide photo and one close photo of every opening, plus rough dimensions, in a single message. Confirm the written specification opening by opening before you approve it, and check exact standards like the Israeli railing standard SI 1142 with your engineer.

Summary

Requesting a quote is simple: share clear photos and rough sizes, let us measure on site, and approve a written specification before production. Preparing these details upfront makes the whole process faster and more accurate.
