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.

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.

How it works

From measured opening to aligned gate.

  1. Verify the openingMeasure the opening at the top, middle and bottom and confirm the wall-to-wall mounting surfaces are plumb, solid and suitable for the gate hardware.
  2. Lay out the Universal framePlace the frame components on a protected flat surface, confirm orientation and keep the assembly square as the frame comes together.
  3. Install the 16 ALU40 slatsInstall the sixteen 4-inch horizontal slats consistently according to the supplied system instructions and ordered gate configuration.
  4. Set hinge hardwarePosition the 5-inch HD support hinge for the required swing direction and verify the hinge-side structure can support the assembled leaf.
  5. Set the receiver sideAlign the receiver-side components, T-stopper, L-stopper and selected lock hardware for clean closure.
  6. Align and testCheck clearances, fasteners, latch engagement and smooth swing through the full arc before regular use.

FAQ

Questions about the ALU40 6′ × 6′ gate.

What is included in the ALU40 Universal DIY 6′ × 6′ kit?

The listing includes the complete aluminum gate frame, wide lock-side frame, top and bottom frame, gate T-stopper, receiver L-stopper side component, one heavy-duty 5-inch support hinge and sixteen black 4-inch by 6-foot ALU40 horizontal slats.

Is the aluminum gate rust-resistant?

Yes. The 6063-T6 aluminum does not develop iron-oxide rust like steel. The AAMA 2604 architectural powder coating adds exterior surface protection. Routine cleaning is still recommended, especially in coastal environments.

Can I install the gate myself?

The system is designed for DIY assembly and is listed at an intermediate DIY skill level. Accurate measurement, frame squaring, drilling, fastening and hinge alignment are still important.

Can I modify this 6′ × 6′ kit to any other size?

This SKU is supplied as a 6′ × 6′ gate. The Universal platform is used across multiple ALU40 gate sizes, but do not assume this specific kit should be cut or changed to an arbitrary dimension. Confirm the correct size or custom configuration with Aluglobus before altering components.

How long will the powder-coated finish last?

The gate uses an AAMA 2604 architectural powder-coated finish intended for exterior exposure. Actual appearance over time depends on climate, cleaning, physical wear and site conditions.

Does the wide side frame accept common lock hardware?

The product listing states that the wide side frame fits most U.S.-size lock hardware. The lock itself is not included, so confirm the selected lock body and installation requirements before assembly.

Can the standard gate be installed with posts set in concrete?

Not in the standard configuration. This Universal DIY gate is listed for wall-to-wall installation only. A concrete-footing condition requires the appropriate HD post upgrade and should be specified before installation.

Can the gate be self-closing?

The heavy-duty support hinge is listed as self-closing capable, but the product page recommends a hydraulic spring for true self-closing operation. That spring is sold separately.

Are installation tools included?

No. Installation tools are not included. The exact anchors, drill bits and fastening hardware required can vary with the wall or structural mounting surface.

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.

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

Six feet of width and height with a clean horizontal ALU40 rhythm.

At six feet wide and six feet high, this configuration creates a substantial pedestrian entry for front yards, side yards, courtyards and suitable light-commercial access points. The horizontal 4-inch ALU40 slats give the gate a broader architectural rhythm than narrower-slat systems, while the full aluminum frame keeps the design visually contained.

ALU40 Universal DIY hardware and parts

Understand the frame, receiver hardware, ALU40 slats and support components before assembly.

The Universal DIY package combines the gate frame, receiver-side components, ALU40 slat material and heavy-duty hinge support. Optional post and cap selections remain separate so the project can be matched to the actual mounting condition.

Universal gate frame

Complete aluminum frame with wide lock side, top and bottom frame components for the 6′ × 6′ single-swing gate.

Receiver and striker side

Gate T-stopper and receiver L-stopper components support the finished closing condition and lock-side alignment.

ALU40 slat package

Sixteen 4″ × 6′ black powder-coated 6063-T6 aluminum slats are listed with this kit.

5″ HD support hinge

One heavy-duty support hinge is included. A hydraulic closer or spring is a separate selection when true self-closing operation is required.

Optional HD post upgrade

The standard gate is wall-to-wall. Projects that require concrete footing must use the correct HD post upgrade instead of assuming posts are included.

Optional posts and caps

Additional posts and matching caps can be selected separately from the product-page options when the project condition requires them.

Applications

Built for pedestrian openings where a modern aluminum gate and low routine maintenance matter.

The 6′ × 6′ format is suited to residential and light-commercial pedestrian applications when the opening and wall-to-wall support conditions match the Universal DIY system.

Front pedestrian entries

Create a substantial modern entrance with six-foot height and broad horizontal aluminum lines.

Side-yard gates

Use the six-foot-wide pedestrian leaf where the property needs more passage width than a narrow walkway gate.

Courtyards and entryways

Coordinate the black gate with contemporary walls, fence systems and exterior architecture.

Privacy-oriented entries

The 4-inch horizontal ALU40 layout creates a strong architectural rhythm for private residential spaces.

Light-commercial pedestrian access

A practical aluminum option for pedestrian-only openings with suitable structural mounting conditions.

Coastal and humid climates

Aluminum does not develop iron-oxide rust like steel and is well suited to environments where corrosion maintenance is a concern.

Durability and finish

6063-T6 aluminum, architectural powder coating and no iron-oxide rust.

The frame and ALU40 slats use 6063-T6 aluminum with an AAMA 2604 architectural powder-coated finish. The aluminum substrate does not rust like iron-based metal and will not rot, swell or splinter like wood.

Assembly sequence

A six-step path from verified opening to aligned single-swing gate.

This standard SKU is designed for wall-to-wall mounting. Start with the opening and structural mounting surfaces, then assemble and align the gate around the actual site condition.

01

Verify the opening

Measure the opening at the top, middle and bottom and confirm the wall-to-wall mounting surfaces are plumb, solid and suitable for the gate hardware.

02

Lay out the Universal frame

Place the frame components on a protected flat surface, confirm orientation and keep the assembly square as the frame comes together.

03

Install the 16 ALU40 slats

Install the sixteen 4-inch horizontal slats consistently according to the supplied system instructions and ordered gate configuration.

04

Set hinge hardware

Position the 5-inch HD support hinge for the required swing direction and verify the hinge-side structure can support the assembled leaf.

05

Set the receiver side

Align the receiver-side components, T-stopper, L-stopper and selected lock hardware for clean closure.

06

Align and test

Check clearances, fasteners, latch engagement and smooth swing through the full arc before regular use.

Buying and installation guide

Confirm the opening, swing, lock hardware and support condition before assembly.

The Universal DIY system reduces fabrication work, but a six-foot-wide pedestrian leaf still depends on accurate site conditions and correct hardware planning.

01

Measure wall to wall

Confirm the finished opening at multiple heights and account for hinge, latch and receiver-side clearances.

02

Confirm the listed size

This SKU is supplied as a 6′ × 6′ gate. Do not assume the frame should be cut to an arbitrary size without confirming the correct configuration with Aluglobus.

03

Confirm swing direction

Plan the hinge side and swing direction around clearance, traffic flow and the actual opening.

04

Plan lock hardware

Confirm the selected latch or lock body and required clearances before finalizing the lock-side setup.

05

Check self-closing needs

If true self-closing operation is required, select the appropriate hydraulic spring or compatible closing hardware separately.

06

Confirm mounting condition

The standard configuration is wall-to-wall. Concrete-footing projects require the correct HD post upgrade before installation.

Frequently asked questions

Answers before you assemble the 6′ × 6′ gate.

Common questions about the package, aluminum construction, wall-to-wall installation, finish, hardware and ALU40 system.

What is included in the ALU40 Universal DIY 6′ × 6′ kit?

The listing includes the complete aluminum gate frame, wide lock-side frame, top and bottom frame, gate T-stopper, receiver L-stopper side component, one heavy-duty 5-inch support hinge and sixteen black 4-inch by 6-foot ALU40 horizontal slats.

Is the aluminum gate rust-resistant?

Yes. The 6063-T6 aluminum does not develop iron-oxide rust like steel. The AAMA 2604 architectural powder coating adds exterior surface protection. Routine cleaning is still recommended, especially in coastal environments.

Can I install the gate myself?

The system is designed for DIY assembly and is listed at an intermediate DIY skill level. Accurate measurement, frame squaring, drilling, fastening and hinge alignment are still important.

Can I modify this 6′ × 6′ kit to any other size?

This SKU is supplied as a 6′ × 6′ gate. The Universal platform is used across multiple ALU40 gate sizes, but do not assume this specific kit should be cut or changed to an arbitrary dimension. Confirm the correct size or custom configuration with Aluglobus before altering components.

How long will the powder-coated finish last?

The gate uses an AAMA 2604 architectural powder-coated finish intended for exterior exposure. Actual appearance over time depends on climate, cleaning, physical wear and site conditions.

Does the wide side frame accept common lock hardware?

The product listing states that the wide side frame fits most U.S.-size lock hardware. The lock itself is not included, so confirm the selected lock body and installation requirements before assembly.

Can the standard gate be installed with posts set in concrete?

Not in the standard configuration. This Universal DIY gate is listed for wall-to-wall installation only. A concrete-footing condition requires the appropriate HD post upgrade and should be specified before installation.

Can the gate be self-closing?

The heavy-duty support hinge is listed as self-closing capable, but the product page recommends a hydraulic spring for true self-closing operation. That spring is sold separately.

Are installation tools included?

No. Installation tools are not included. The exact anchors, drill bits and fastening hardware required can vary with the wall or structural mounting surface.

Ready to order?

Buy the listed 6′ × 6′ kit, or verify the opening first.

If the opening is already confirmed as a compatible wall-to-wall 6′ × 6′ condition, proceed with the listed gate. If not, send the opening dimensions and photos before ordering.

Can I install this gate on concrete footings instead of between walls?

The standard Universal DIY configuration is wall-to-wall only. Concrete-footing installs need the appropriate HD post upgrade, which should be specified before installation.

What comes in the box?

The complete aluminum gate frame with T-stopper and receiver L-stopper side post, one heavy-duty 5 in. support hinge, and sixteen 4 in. x 6 ft ALU40 slats.

Will my lock fit the gate?

The lock-side frame is wide and designed to fit most US-size lock hardware. The lock itself is not listed as included.

Is the gate self-closing?

The HD support hinge is self-closing capable. For controlled self-closing, a compatible hydraulic spring is recommended and sold separately.

What should I measure before ordering?

Verify the finished opening between walls, the mounting surfaces, hinge side and swing clearance, plus where the lock and stoppers will go.
