Made-to-Measure Aluminum Gate for an Irregular Opening
t274-26

An irregular opening, such as a slanted wall, a sloped driveway or an uneven stone pillar, needs a gate built from measurements taken on site rather than a standard size. At Techno Kol Uzi we measure the opening in several points, draw the gate to fit, and manufacture the aluminum frame in our Tel Aviv factory before installation.
Why Irregular Openings Need a Custom Gate
Many older homes and yards were not built to standard dimensions. The width may differ between the top and bottom of the opening, the walls may not be square, or the ground may slope. A ready-made gate forced into such an opening often sags, rubs against the ground or leaves uneven gaps that look untidy and let in unwanted visitors.
A made-to-measure gate solves these problems because every dimension, angle and hinge position is based on your actual opening. The result is a gate that closes smoothly, looks proportionate and suits the entrance it serves.
How We Measure an Irregular Opening
Accurate measurement is the foundation of a good gate. Our team visits your property and checks the opening at several points, not just once. We record the width at the top, middle and bottom, the height on both sides, and any angles or out-of-level sections.
- Width measured at three heights
- Height measured on both sides
- Ground slope and clearance for swing or sliding
- Wall material and hinge or post positions
Photos taken during the inquiry help us prepare before the visit.
Design Options for Uneven Entrances
Once the measurements are confirmed, we prepare a drawing and a written specification. Aluminum is a practical choice because it is light, resistant to corrosion and easy to shape into precise frames. We can adapt the gate's top line, add infill panels of different heights, or design a frame that follows a slope.
Common adjustments
Stepped or angled top rails, adjustable hinge positions, and infill that can be trimmed to match an uneven opening are all typical solutions. We discuss the options with you before production starts.
Our Manufacturing and Finishing Process
After you approve the drawing, production takes place in our factory at 37 Rival Street, Tel Aviv. Each frame is cut and assembled to the measured dimensions, then checked against the drawing before it leaves the workshop. This step catches small errors early, when they are easy to correct.
Finishing options include powder coating in the colour you choose, which protects the aluminum and keeps the gate looking fresh for years. Hardware is selected to suit the weight of the gate and the type of opening.
Installation and Fitting on Site
Installation is where a custom gate proves its worth. Our installers set the posts or fixings, hang the gate and adjust the hinges so that it sits level and closes without force. Because the gate was built to your opening, the fit is usually clean with minimal adjustment.
Before we leave, we test the opening and closing action and check the latch. Any safety requirements for your property are discussed in advance, and we note that exact values are confirmed with the relevant engineer.
What to Prepare Before You Contact Us
Preparing a few details makes the process faster. Take clear photos of the entrance from the front and from the side, note the surrounding wall or pillar material, and mention whether the gate should swing or slide. If the driveway slopes, a photo showing the slope helps us plan the fitting.
Send your inquiry with these photos and a short description of how you use the entrance. We will reply with the next steps for measurement.
Frequently asked questions
Can you build a gate for a sloped driveway?
Yes. We measure the slope and design the gate frame and clearance so it opens and closes without dragging on the ground.
Do you need to visit the site before making the gate?
Yes, an on-site measurement is part of our process so the gate fits your actual opening rather than an estimate.
Can the gate match an existing fence or wall?
We can design the gate height, top line and finish to suit the surrounding fence, wall or stone pillars.
How do I start an inquiry?
Send photos of the entrance and a short description through our contact channels, and we will arrange the measurement visit.
Common mistakes to avoid
Ordering a gate from a single measurement of an uneven opening often leads to poor fit, so measure at several points or let us do it. Choosing a standard size and trimming it on site also weakens the frame and affects how the gate hangs.
Our recommendation
Take photos from several angles and note any slope or out-of-square walls before you contact us, as this speeds up measurement and design. Ask for a written drawing before production so you can confirm the dimensions and opening direction.
Summary
An irregular opening calls for a gate built from accurate on-site measurements, aluminum frame design suited to your entrance, and careful installation. Techno Kol Uzi in Tel Aviv handles the whole process from measurement to fitting.
