Reserve a Production Slot for Your Metal Door Order
t418-45

To reserve a production slot for your metal door order, send the inquiry with photos and the opening details, then schedule the on-site measurement and approve the written drawing. Once the specification is approved, the door is booked into the factory production schedule and moved on to finishing and installation.
Start with a clear inquiry
A slot in the production schedule begins with a complete inquiry. Send photos of the opening, the door type you need (iron, aluminum or a combination), the approximate width and height, and the location of the building. Note the project timeline and whether the door is part of a larger job such as a stair, railing or gate package.
- Photos from the front and the wall around the opening
- Preferred door type and finish
- Target installation date from your schedule
A detailed inquiry lets us check the factory calendar early and tell you whether a slot is available in your timeframe.
On-site measurement
Every door is made to measure, so we visit the site before production starts. We measure the opening at several points, check that the walls are plumb and the floor is level, and note any obstacles such as thresholds, tiles or existing frames. Measuring after the rough work is finished avoids the common problem of a door that does not fit the final opening.
If the wall or frame will change after the measurement, let us know so the drawing can be updated before approval.
Drawing and written specification
After measurement we prepare a drawing and a written specification. The document lists dimensions, opening direction, profile type, locks and hardware, glass or panel infill, and the finish. It is the reference for production and for the installer.
What to check before you approve
- Dimensions and opening direction
- Hardware and lock positions
- Finish colour and coating
Once you approve the drawing in writing, the order is confirmed and goes to the production queue.
Production slot and factory schedule
Our factory at 37 Rival Street in Tel Aviv works from a planned schedule, so each approved order is assigned a production slot. Doors are cut, welded or assembled in the workshop, then sent for finishing. Planning the approval date backwards from your installation date is the most reliable way to keep the job on track.
If your site has a fixed deadline, tell us at the inquiry stage so we can plan the slot accordingly.
Finishing: galvanizing and powder coating
Iron doors are typically hot-dip galvanized for corrosion protection and then powder coated in the colour you choose. Aluminum doors are finished according to the chosen profile and colour. Finishing adds time to the schedule, so it is included when we confirm your slot.
Ask for the finishing method in writing as part of the specification, so there are no surprises on site.
Delivery and installation coordination
When the door is ready, we coordinate delivery with the site and the installer. Agree on who receives the door, where it will be stored, and how it will be lifted to the floor. Make sure the opening is clean and the frame is ready before the door arrives.
- Confirm the site is accessible for delivery
- Keep the opening free of debris
- Plan the installation day with the crew
Coordinating these steps together keeps the installation smooth and the project on schedule.
Frequently asked questions
How early should I reserve a production slot?
Reserve as early as you know the door specification, because production slots fill up with approved orders. Earlier inquiries also give more room for measurement and drawing revisions.
Is the measurement visit required before production?
Yes, every door is made to measure, so we measure the actual opening on site before production. This prevents fit problems caused by uneven walls or floors.
Can I change the design after approving the drawing?
Changes are possible before production starts, but an approved drawing that has already entered the factory schedule may require a revised slot. Let us know as early as possible if anything changes.
Do you install the doors yourselves?
We coordinate delivery and installation with you and your installer as part of the project. Ask us during the inquiry about the installation arrangements for your site.
Common mistakes to avoid
The most common mistake is approving a drawing before the opening is final, or measuring before the wall work is complete. Both lead to costly rework and delays in the production schedule.
Our recommendation
Plan backwards from your installation date, add time for finishing and delivery, and get the drawing approved in writing before the slot is confirmed. Measure after the rough work is finished, not before.
Summary
Reserving a production slot for a metal door means completing the inquiry, the on-site measurement, the drawing approval and the finishing plan in order, then coordinating delivery with your installer.
