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.

Aluglobus vs other aluminum gates

Aluminum is the raw material. The system is what you buy.

Two gates can both say aluminum and perform nothing alike. Here is what changes from one system to the next.

7-stage vs standard powder coating

Same color. Very different finish.

Standard powder coating cleans the aluminum and puts it in an oven. Architectural 7-stage coating runs it through a full pretreatment line first.

A manufacturer behind the system

We show the process. So you know who stands behind the product.

Not just a supplier. From engineering drawings to finished aluminum components, we make the parts that make the system work.

Build your gate

7-stage powder coating

A finish built to last outdoors.

Every gate profile is pretreated in stages and powder coated before assembly, to the AAMA 2604 architectural standard.

Powder coating line for Aluglobus aluminum
  • Prep before powder. Most coating failures start before the powder goes on, so every part is pretreated in stages first.
  • 110 ft oven. Long gate frames and slats cure in one piece in a 110 ft powder coating oven.
  • Coated before assembly. Every piece is coated 360°, inside the channels, before the gate is put together.
  • Colors and woodgrain. Black, bronze, white, custom colors and woodgrain-look finishes with TIGER and Cardinal powders.

  2. Frame assemblyConnect the universal gate frame with stainless-steel screws, keeping all corners square and secure.
  3. 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.
  4. Hinge installationAttach the heavy-duty hinge hardware to the side post and frame, then verify alignment for smooth swing operation.
  5. Post and gap cover installationAttach the side posts and gap-cover components to finish the wall-to-wall opening cleanly.
  6. Final touchesPress flat caps onto the posts, inspect the connections, confirm clearances and clean the aluminum surfaces.

FAQ

Questions about the ALU40 4′ Ɨ 6′ gate.

Can I install the ALU40 Universal DIY 4′ Ɨ 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 4Ɨ6 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 4Ɨ6 kit?

This 4Ɨ6 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 Ɨ 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.

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

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 Ɨ 6 ft and 6 Ɨ 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.

03

Adjustable privacy

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

04

Rust-free aluminum

Designed for modern pedestrian openings and coordinated aluminum projects.

01

Residential gates

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

02

Privacy fencing layouts

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

03

Courtyards and entryways

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

04

Coastal properties

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

05

Light commercial access

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

06

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.

01

Preparation

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

02

Frame assembly

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

03

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.

04

Hinge installation

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

05

Post and gap cover installation

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

06

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.

01

Verify 4′ high Ɨ 6′ wide

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

02

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.

03

Choose 3/8″ or 1/2″ gap

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

04

Plan the lock

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

05

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.

06

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′ Ɨ 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 4Ɨ6 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 4Ɨ6 kit?

This 4Ɨ6 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 Ɨ 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.
