The frame, hinge and ALU40 slats for the 4×6 configuration.
This 4×6 configuration includes the core gate frame, hinge and slat components below. Posts and certain access hardware depend on the installation and can be selected separately.
Universal DIY gate frame
Complete pre-engineered aluminum gate frame sized for the 4-foot-high by 6-foot-wide single-swing configuration.
Wide lock side frame
The wide side profile is designed to coordinate with most U.S.-size lock hardware selected for the project.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
