USA-made6063-T6 aluminum

No weldingUniversal DIY

Get the Highlights

Wide 4″ ALU40 slats. A bold, modern face with even gaps.

Wide lock-side frame. Fits most U.S. and smart locks.

6063-T6 aluminum. It can't rust like steel or rot like wood.

AAMA 2604 powder coat over a 7-stage pretreatment.

ALU40 gate with heavy-duty support hinge

Heavy-duty hinges. A full frame, not a panel on hinges.

ALU40 black gate between white stucco pillars

Clean lines that look custom

4″ ALU40 slats sit inside a complete aluminum frame, so the gate reads as one crisp, architectural piece. Pair it with matching fence panels for one continuous look.

Built to stay new outside

USA-made 6063-T6 aluminum doesn't form iron rust, rot, warp or attract termites. The AAMA 2604 architectural powder coat is applied over a 7-stage pretreatment.

A surprisingly simple install

The Universal DIY frame bolts together with standard tools and the slats slide into place. No welding, no painting. It's made for wall-to-wall openings and rated an intermediate DIY job.

Ready for your lock

The wide lock-side frame takes most U.S.-size lock hardware, including keypad and smart locks. The lock isn't included, so you choose exactly what you want.

aluminum gate kit

A horizontal aluminum gate kit you can install yourself

This DIY aluminum gate kit builds a horizontal slat pedestrian gate for side yards, walkways and garden entries. The parts are pre-cut at our Southern California factory, so it assembles with standard tools and no welding. 6063-T6 aluminum with an AAMA 2604 powder coat means it will not rust, rot or need painting.

How it is built

Universal DIY or Heavy-Duty. See every part.

Official Aluglobus exploded drawings. Every gate is a complete frame system with top and bottom members, never a fence panel on hinges.

Gate frame engineering

A fence panel on hinges is not a gate.

Every Aluglobus gate starts with a complete frame: vertical frames, top and bottom members, a slat track and a stopper. The slats sit inside the frame, so the leaf stays square and the hinges carry a frame, not a loose panel.

Welding sounds stronger, but is it better for gates?

Vertical aluminum swing gate: ALU20, ALU40, ALU60

Why contractors are switching to 7-stage powder coated aluminum

How it works

From measured opening to aligned gate.

PreparationOrganize all materials in a clean workspace to avoid damage or misplacement.
Frame assemblyConnect the universal gate frame with stainless-steel screws, keeping all corners square and secure.
Slat installationCut and insert the ALU40 slats into the frame grooves, establish the selected spacing and secure each slat with the provided stainless-steel screws.
Hinge installationAttach the heavy-duty hinge hardware to the side post and frame, then verify alignment for smooth swing operation.
Post and gap cover installationAttach the side posts and gap-cover components to finish the wall-to-wall opening cleanly.
Final touchesPress flat caps onto the posts, inspect the connections, confirm clearances and clean the aluminum surfaces.

FAQ

Questions about the ALU40 4′ × 6′ gate.

Can I install the ALU40 Universal DIY 4′ × 6′ Gate Kit BLACK by myself?

Yes. The kit is designed for DIY users. Components are pre-sized and engineered for straightforward assembly with no welding required.

Is the gate frame already sized or do I need to cut anything?

The gate frame comes pre-sized for the 4×6 configuration, so the frame itself does not require cutting. Follow the supplied slat and assembly instructions for the infill.

Can one person install the gate, or do I need assistance?

One person can assemble the frame, but an extra helper is useful during leveling and mounting so the gate can be positioned more quickly and precisely.

Do I need to paint or coat the gate after installation?

No. The black finish is already powder coated for durability, corrosion resistance and long-term color performance.

What exactly is included in this 4×6 kit?

This 4×6 configuration includes the Universal DIY frame, wide lock side, top and bottom frame, T-stopper, receiver L-stopper side post, one 5-inch HD support hinge and eight 4-inch × 6-foot ALU40 slats.

Can this gate be installed with posts set in concrete?

The standard specification is wall-to-wall only. The product page states that a concrete-footing installation requires an HD post upgrade that must be requested.

Does the kit include the lock or self-closing spring?

No. Lock hardware and the hydraulic self-closing spring are listed as not included. Select those parts based on the access-control and self-closing requirements of the project.

Is the aluminum gate suitable for coastal or humid climates?

Yes. The product is specifically listed for coastal, humid and harsh climates. Routine cleaning is still recommended where salt or environmental deposits accumulate.

FAQ

Buyer questions about the aluminum gate kit.

Still not sure? Call (888) 876-3006 or send us your project.

What size is a standard pedestrian gate?

Most walk gates are 3 to 4 ft wide. Our kits come in 4 × 6 ft and 6 × 6 ft; a 4 ft wide gate fits wheelbarrows and most mowers.

Can I install an aluminum gate kit myself?

Yes. The kit is pre-cut, so it assembles with a drill, a level and standard tools. No welding is needed.

Do aluminum gates rust or sag?

Aluminum does not rust like steel. The gate is built around a full perimeter frame, which keeps the leaf square instead of hanging loose slats on hinges.

Aluminum vs wood gate: which lasts longer?

Aluminum does not warp, rot or attract termites and never needs staining. It is also lighter, which is easier on the hinges.

Top and bottom frame

Coordinated top and bottom frame components complete the fully DIY frame design.

Gate T-stopper

The gate-side stopper component is included as part of the Universal DIY frame system.

Receiver L-stopper side post

The receiver-side L-stopper component helps finish the closing side of the gate opening.

5″ HD support hinge

One heavy-duty support hinge is listed with the kit. A hydraulic spring is sold separately when a true self-closing function is required.

8 ALU40 slats

Eight 4-inch × 6-foot ALU40 aluminum slats are included for the 4×6 configuration in super-durable powder-coated black.

Assembly-ready system

The kit is designed around no-weld assembly, with the frame and components prepared for an intermediate DIY or contractor installation.

Not included: concrete footing, lock hardware, hydraulic self-closing spring and installation tools are not included in the standard kit.

Why ALU40 Universal DIY

A modern horizontal gate without the fabrication workflow.

DIY installation

Pre-engineered components eliminate the need to weld the gate frame in the field.

Horizontal ALU40 design

Four-inch aluminum slats create the clean horizontal rhythm associated with modern residential and light-commercial architecture.

Adjustable privacy

Choose the specified 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch gap to balance visual screening, airflow and the desired architectural expression.

Rust-free aluminum

6063-T6 aluminum avoids the iron-oxide rust cycle associated with ferrous gate materials.

Exterior-ready finish

AAMA 2604 architectural powder coating is used for long-term exterior color and finish performance.

Factory-direct support

Aluglobus Aluminum Systems supplies the gate system directly and can help contractors or serious DIY customers confirm the correct project package.

Designed for modern pedestrian openings and coordinated aluminum projects.

Residential gates

A clean single-swing access gate for side yards, courtyards and residential pedestrian openings.

Privacy fencing layouts

ALU40 horizontal slats can coordinate the gate visually with modern aluminum fence systems.

Courtyards and entryways

The 6-foot-wide opening gives a broad pedestrian entry while the 4-foot height keeps the gate visually open.

Coastal properties

Aluminum and architectural powder coating are well suited to humid and salt-air environments with appropriate routine cleaning.

Light commercial access

The gate can serve controlled pedestrian openings where a clean, low-maintenance aluminum system is preferred.

Contractor-led DIY installs

The no-weld system can simplify projects where a contractor handles site anchoring and alignment while using factory-prepared gate components.

Material and finish

Architectural aluminum without the rust cycle.

The ALU40 gate uses 6063-T6 aluminum with an architectural powder-coated finish. Aluminum does not develop iron-oxide rust, and the black finish is already applied before installation, so no field painting is required.

6063-T6 aluminumStrong, lightweight and corrosion-resistant for exterior gate applications.
AAMA 2604 finishArchitectural powder-coating standard listed for this product.
Black standard colorThe gate arrives powder coated, with custom colors available upon request.
Non-combustible substrateThe aluminum substrate is non-combustible. Project-specific code compliance depends on the complete installed assembly and local requirements.

Installation sequence

The six-step workflow carried over from the product instructions.

Preparation

Organize all materials in a clean workspace to avoid damage or misplacement.

Frame assembly

Connect the universal gate frame with stainless-steel screws, keeping all corners square and secure.

Slat installation

Cut and insert the ALU40 slats into the frame grooves, establish the selected spacing and secure each slat with the provided stainless-steel screws.

Hinge installation

Attach the heavy-duty hinge hardware to the side post and frame, then verify alignment for smooth swing operation.

Post and gap cover installation

Attach the side posts and gap-cover components to finish the wall-to-wall opening cleanly.

Final touches

Press flat caps onto the posts, inspect the connections, confirm clearances and clean the aluminum surfaces.

Plan before ordering

Confirm the opening, mounting condition, swing and hardware first.

Verify 4′ high × 6′ wide

Measure the finished opening and confirm that this 4-foot-high by 6-foot-wide configuration matches the intended site.

Confirm wall-to-wall mounting

The standard Universal DIY configuration is wall-to-wall only. Concrete footing requires an HD post upgrade requested in advance.

Choose 3/8″ or 1/2″ gap

Select the slat spacing that gives the desired balance of privacy and openness before final assembly.

Plan the lock

Lock hardware is not included. Confirm the selected latch or lock body and clearances for the wide lock-side frame.

Plan self-closing hardware

The included support hinge is self-closing capable, but a true self-closing setup requires the separate hydraulic spring specified for the project.

Check swing clearance

Confirm the gate has unobstructed room to swing and that the mounting surfaces are aligned, rigid and suitable for the selected anchors.

Frequently asked questions

Answers before you assemble the ALU40 gate.

Review common questions about DIY assembly, gate sizing, finish, kit contents, mounting conditions and exterior use.

Can I install the ALU40 Universal DIY 4′ × 6′ Gate Kit BLACK by myself?

Yes. The kit is designed for DIY users. Components are pre-sized and engineered for straightforward assembly with no welding required.

Is the gate frame already sized or do I need to cut anything?

The gate frame comes pre-sized for the 4×6 configuration, so the frame itself does not require cutting. Follow the supplied slat and assembly instructions for the infill.

Can one person install the gate, or do I need assistance?

One person can assemble the frame, but an extra helper is useful during leveling and mounting so the gate can be positioned more quickly and precisely.

Do I need to paint or coat the gate after installation?

No. The black finish is already powder coated for durability, corrosion resistance and long-term color performance.

What exactly is included in this 4×6 kit?

Can this gate be installed with posts set in concrete?

The standard specification is wall-to-wall only. The product page states that a concrete-footing installation requires an HD post upgrade that must be requested.

Does the kit include the lock or self-closing spring?

No. Lock hardware and the hydraulic self-closing spring are listed as not included. Select those parts based on the access-control and self-closing requirements of the project.

Is the aluminum gate suitable for coastal or humid climates?

Yes. The product is specifically listed for coastal, humid and harsh climates. Routine cleaning is still recommended where salt or environmental deposits accumulate.
