Steel gates and gate frames for brick wall almirahs in Agra

What we make, and what we don't

Masons build a brick wall almirah into the wall while the house is going up: brick sides, often stone slab shelves, and an open front. We make the steel gates that close that front, and the steel frame they hang on, to the exact size of your almirah.

To be clear: these are not main gates for a house, and not door frames (chaukhat). We make gates and frames only for almirahs built into a wall.

When to get new or replacement almirah gates

People usually need new gates for one of these reasons:

• New house, no doors yet. The almirah is built and plastered, but the front is open.
• Wooden doors have given up. Swollen, cracked or eaten by termites. Steel does not get termites.
• Steel gates rusted or bent. The bottom edge has rusted, or a gate no longer sits straight.
• Broken or loose hinges. The gate drags or does not close.
• A weak or broken lock. You want gates that lock properly, for clothes, papers and valuables.
• Doors that never fitted. Gaps at the sides or top, or doors that do not line up when shut.

Not every old gate needs replacing. If only a hinge or lock is broken, WhatsApp us a photo of the gates and we will tell you if they can be fixed. If a freestanding steel almirah needs fixing, see our page on steel almirah repair in Agra.

New gates, or a whole new almirah?

If the brick almirah is in good shape, new gates are usually the simpler route. These are general points to weigh, not a price comparison.

Prefer a full steel almirah in place of the brick one? See our wall-fit almirahs, made to fill a wall, niche or corner. For a room with no brick almirah, see our steel almirahs in Agra.

What you can choose for the gates

Everything is agreed with you before we start. The main choices:

• Lockable gates. Key locks on every gate, or only on the ones that will hold valuables.
• Upper and lower sections. A tall almirah can have short gates at the top and bottom and tall gates in the middle.
• Number of gates. A wide almirah can be split into more gates, so each one is narrower. A narrower gate needs less room to swing open, which helps in a small room.
• Gate frame. A steel frame around the opening that the gates hang on, made to the same measurements.
• Colour. Maroon, black, green, brown, grey, cream, or a wood-look finish. The frame can be a different colour from the gates, as in our photos.

How a brick almirah is measured for gates

Brick almirahs are built by hand, so no two are the same size, and the sides are often not perfectly straight. That is why we come and measure each almirah ourselves, free, before we make the gates.

For example, an almirah might be 4 ft 2 in wide at the top and 4 ft 1 in at the bottom. A good measurement catches that difference:

• Width at the top, middle and bottom
• Height on the left, in the middle and on the right
• Depth of the side walls, where the frame will sit
• Whether the corners are square or slanted

To take rough sizes yourself, follow our almirah measurement guide. Rough sizes are enough for us to tell you a rate; we take the exact ones when we visit.

Gates we have made

The photo at the top of this page is our work: nine grey steel gates in three rows of three, in a white frame, on a brick wall almirah. Each gate has a handle and a key lock. The almirah in the photo below has its gates in two columns, left and right.

What decides the rate of almirah gates

We have no fixed price list, because every brick almirah is a different size. The rate depends on size, sheet and design:

• Size. A bigger almirah needs more steel for the gates and the frame.
• Design. How many gates, how the top and bottom are split, and how many gates have locks.
• Sheet. Ask us which gauge of sheet the gates will be made from before you order. We tell you openly.

The easiest way to get a rate: WhatsApp a photo and rough measurements of your almirah, or ask for the free measurement visit.
