Request a Gate Survey for Your Apartment Building Entrance

t284-37

A gate survey is an on-site measurement and assessment of your building entrance, carried out before any electric sliding or swing gate is manufactured. Techno Kol Uzi visits the building, measures the opening, checks the ground and surroundings, and then provides a drawing and written specification for the committee to approve.

What a Gate Survey Includes

A gate survey is a practical visit to your building entrance by our team. We measure the opening width and height, check the level and condition of the driveway, and note nearby walls, columns, pavement and access routes. We also look at where the power supply and automatic controls can be placed.

The survey gives us the facts we need to recommend the right gate type. Nothing is manufactured from guesswork, which helps avoid surprises during installation.

Sliding or Swing: Which Gate Suits Your Entrance

Both electric sliding and swing gates can work well in apartment buildings, but the right choice depends on the space available. A sliding gate needs a clear track length alongside the opening, while a swing gate needs room to open inward or outward without blocking the sidewalk or parked cars.

How the Committee Should Prepare

Before the visit, it helps to gather a few details. Take photos of the entrance from the street and from inside, and note any problems residents have noticed, such as blind turns or tight parking. Confirm who will be the contact person for the team on the day.

If the building has a previous gate or access system, bring any available information about it. This speeds up the survey and keeps the drawing accurate.

From Survey to Drawing and Specification

After the measurement, our team prepares a drawing of the gate and a written specification describing the materials, finish and operation. The committee reviews both documents and can ask questions or request changes before anything goes into production.

Nothing is produced until the client approves the drawing and specification in writing. This keeps the decision clear for everyone involved in the building.

Safety and Standards Checks

Automatic gates must be safe for residents, children and vehicles. During the survey we consider safety sensors, stopping behavior and clear visibility at the entrance. The specification should reflect the relevant Israeli requirements, and the final values are confirmed with the engineer rather than assumed.

Where railings or guards are part of the entrance, we also note the general requirements of the Israeli railing standard SI 1142 for the engineer to verify.

Finishing and Installation Planning

Our gates are finished for durability in a building entrance, typically with hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating. The survey helps us plan installation access, such as crane or lifting needs, working hours and how long the entrance may be partly closed.

Clear planning means fewer disruptions for residents and a smoother handover once the gate is installed.

Frequently asked questions

Is a gate survey required before ordering an electric gate?

Yes, an on-site survey is the basis for an accurate drawing and specification. It confirms the measurements and conditions that the gate must fit.

Who should attend the survey visit?

It is helpful for a representative of the building committee to be present. This person can show the entrance, answer questions and make decisions on the spot.

How long does a gate survey take?

The visit length depends on the entrance and site conditions. Our team will confirm the timing when arranging the appointment.

Do I have to approve the drawing before production starts?

Yes. We begin manufacturing only after the committee approves the drawing and written specification.

Common mistakes to avoid

Committees often request a gate without first measuring the entrance or checking the space for swing or sliding movement. Skipping the survey can lead to a gate that does not fit or blocks access.

Our recommendation

Gather photos, note the problems residents face at the entrance, and ask for the drawing and specification in writing before approving the order.

Summary

A gate survey from Techno Kol Uzi measures your entrance, guides the right gate choice, and results in a clear drawing and specification for committee approval.
