People desire security, but they also demand convenience. When the security measures are cumbersome and redundant, humans are apt to cut corners and begin to abandon the safety measures, such as leaving doors and gates open. Garage doors serve this role well by providing robust property security while offering automated convenience.
Israel faces many challenges in receiving goods and importing products. Israel-based suppliers are key to providing a reliable supply of garage doors for both residential and commercial uses. These 5 suppliers are well regarded in the country for their inventory as well as their follow-up support.
Unlike America and other Western countries, where the main goal is to protect the house, Israel has a culture of also protecting the yard. Therefore, it is standard to invest in attractive gates and bars to further prevent unwanted ingress into homes. Many of these companies are a full supplier of these products.
At Garage Door Marketing Syndicate, we help installers find the best products in their industry, and craft attractive marketing around those products to increase revenue.

Popular Trends In Garage Doors
With the high use of multi-family dwellings, the demand for garage doors in Israel is lower than in other countries. In Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, this is especially true. As the country grows, there is a continuing trend towards multi-family construction with large, secured parking garages. This enables a consolidation of security measures and cost savings in construction.
As a result of this trend, we tend to see most garage door installation companies setting up towards the edges or in more rural cities. Additionally, the prevalence of large courtyard designs means that many people opt for automatic sliding gates over the use of garage doors.
Due to this lower demand for residential products, many of the manufacturers steer their construction towards serving their industrial clientele. Often, the popular frosted glass and modern designs have to be imported, and most homeowners are limited to the more simple, multi-panel designs. Docks and storefronts need reliable and convenient security, and the roll-up door design is heavily used.
In residential construction, the ability to withstand desert heat and salty coastal conditions along the Mediterranean is paramount. Often, homeowners choose galvanized and anti-corrosion coatings to create longevity. Additionally, insulated garage doors assist in crafting cool spaces and utility savings in the heat of summer.
There is also a higher demand for security. Unlike Western doors, which have very minimal security, heavy metal doors with robust locking mechanisms are more common. It is also not uncommon to see designs where an inner garage door is protected on the outside by an added sliding gate or retractable bollards.
The importance of choosing a product with an Israeli-based supplier lies in the post-purchase product repair and support. Garage doors are designed to last for decades. However, they are likely to need replacement parts from time to time. Choosing a product line from a well-established company inside the country, guarantees the ability to get parts in the future and ensures that the buyer can get the maximal lifetime value from their purchase. Most of these products include some type of warranty or service contract, and it can be difficult to access their technicians should an issue arise when the product is installed outside of their service area.
Never one to shy away from technology, there is a growing demand for smart home automation that integrates with garage doors. This trend will likely continue with both retrofits of existing doors and the installation of new ones. These new features include the ability to open the garage door remotely and sensors to notify the owner if the garage door is being tampered with.
While we see a continued push towards multi-family housing in the interior, the outskirts will continue to use garage doors in villa and private house construction, necessitating the need for reliable garage door suppliers and installers inside the county.
