Request a Site Measurement for Your Metal Door Project
t418-40

To request a door site measurement, send us photos and a rough description of the opening, and we will arrange an on-site survey by our team. The exact measurements taken on site become the basis for a drawing and written specification you approve before production begins.
Why an Accurate Site Measurement Matters
A metal door is made to fit one specific opening, so the measurements have to be right before anything is cut or welded. A reading taken from a plan or an estimate often differs from the real wall once plaster, tiles and frames are in place. Measuring on site catches these differences early, when they are simple to correct.
An accurate survey also protects the schedule. When the dimensions are confirmed at the start, the drawing and production can move forward without repeated returns to the building.
What Happens After You Send a Request
Our process is straightforward and follows the same steps for every project:
- Inquiry with photos of the opening and the surrounding wall
- On-site measurement by our team
- Drawing and written specification sent to you
- Your approval of the drawing and details
- Production in our factory on Rival Street in Tel Aviv
- Finishing with hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating where required
- Installation at your site
You approve the drawing before any metal is cut, so you know exactly what will be built.
What We Check During the Survey
During the visit we record the width and height of the opening at several points, since walls are rarely perfectly square. We note the direction the door will open, the type of frame, the threshold height and the wall material. We also look at access for delivery and lifting, and at any obstacles such as electrical boxes, pipes or floor finishes that may affect the fit.
Photos taken during the survey help us confirm details later and keep the record clear for everyone involved.
Choosing Between Iron and Aluminum
Iron doors suit entrances where strength and security are the main priorities. Aluminum doors are lighter, resist corrosion well and are often chosen for areas with heavier use of glass or a more modern look. During the survey we discuss how the door will be used, the exposure to weather and the look you want, so the material choice fits the location.
Our Belgian steel-look profiles and stainless steel options are also discussed at this stage when they suit the project.
Production, Finishing and Installation
Once the drawing is approved, the door is manufactured in our factory to your measurements. Iron parts can be hot-dip galvanized for protection against rust, and powder coating provides the finish and colour. Coordinating these steps with the survey results keeps the final product matching the opening.
On installation day we fit the door, check the alignment, operation and seals, and make sure it closes and locks properly before we finish.
Preparing for Your Site Visit
Before the measurement visit, clear the area around the opening if you can, and let us know of any work still underway such as plastering or tiling. Mention the frame type if it is already installed, and the access route to the building. If the opening will change after the door is built, tell us in advance, because that affects the drawing.
The more complete the information you give at the start, the smoother the rest of the process will be.
Frequently asked questions
How do I request a door site measurement?
Send us an inquiry with photos of the opening and a short description of what you need. We will then arrange a visit to measure on site.
Do I need to be home for the measurement?
It is helpful if someone who knows the property can be present to give access and answer questions about the opening and the building.
Can I change the design after the drawing is approved?
Changes are possible before production starts, so it is best to review the drawing carefully. Once approved, we confirm any further changes with you in writing.
Do you install the doors yourselves?
Yes, installation is part of our process, and we check alignment, operation and locking before completing the job.
Common mistakes to avoid
A common error is measuring a rough opening before plaster or tiles are finished, which changes the final fit. Another is skipping the approval of the drawing, which can lead to misunderstandings about size or finish.
Our recommendation
Measure the opening yourself only as a rough check, and leave the exact survey to our team on site. Confirm the door's opening direction and threshold height before approving the drawing.
Summary
A proper site measurement is the foundation of a well-fitting metal door. Request your survey now and we will guide you from drawing to installation.
