Request a Site Visit to Assess Your Gate Installation Needs

Why an On-Site Assessment Matters

A gate looks simple from the street, but the right design depends on details you cannot judge from a photo alone. The width of the opening, the slope of the driveway, the condition of the posts and the way the gate will swing all affect what can be built and how it will perform for years.

An on-site assessment turns general ideas into a plan that fits your property. It also helps you avoid surprises during installation, such as a swing path blocked by a planter or a motor that does not suit the available space.

What We Check During the Visit

Our team reviews the entrance from both sides and notes everything that will influence the final design. This usually includes:

• Clear opening width and height
• Ground level, slope and surface type
• Condition and load of existing walls or posts
• Space needed for the gate to open or slide
• Access for vehicles, pedestrians and deliveries
• Power supply if an automatic system is considered

We also discuss how you use the entrance day to day, since this shapes the best choice.

Choosing the Right Gate Type

After the visit, we can compare options such as swing gates, sliding gates and bi-fold designs. Each has different space requirements. A sliding gate needs a clear track zone, while a swing gate needs room to open inward or outward without hitting the car or the path.

We also talk about materials and finishes so the gate suits both the function of the entrance and the look of your home. Every recommendation is based on what we measured on site.

What You Receive After the Visit

Following the visit, you receive a written specification and a drawing that show the proposed gate, its dimensions and the main components. This gives you a clear picture before you decide anything.

The document is shared for your approval. Nothing moves to production until you have reviewed and confirmed the plan, so you stay in control of the decision from the start.

How to Prepare for Your Visit

You can make the visit more productive with a few simple steps. Take clear photos of the entrance from the street and from inside the property, and note the approximate width and height if you know them. Mention any automation or security features you want.

• Clear the area around the entrance if possible
• Let us know about any trees, pipes or cables nearby
• Share your preferred gate style if you have one

Arranging Your Request

To request a visit, send us your photos and a short description of your entrance by WhatsApp or through our contact details. We will reply to confirm the details and suggest a suitable time for the on-site measurement.

Our factory is located at 37 Rival Street in Tel Aviv, and our team has been working with homeowners, committees, architects and contractors since 1945, so we understand both the practical and the design side of a gate project.

Frequently asked questions

Is the site visit free of charge?

Please contact us directly to confirm the current arrangement for site visits. Our team will explain what is included when we arrange your visit.

What should I send before the visit?

Send clear photos of the entrance from both the street and the property side, along with the approximate opening width and height. A short note about how you use the entrance is also helpful.

How long does the visit take?

The length depends on the size and complexity of the entrance and the options being considered. Our team will give you an estimate when arranging the appointment.

Do I have to decide on the gate during the visit?

No. The visit is for assessment and recommendations. You receive a written specification and drawing to review before approving anything.

Common mistakes to avoid

Many homeowners choose a gate based only on appearance and later find the swing path is blocked or the ground is unsuitable. Skipping a proper on-site measurement is the most common cause of costly changes.

Our recommendation

Measure the opening width and check the space needed for the gate to move before you request the visit, and mention any planned automation so the power and mechanism can be planned together.
