A coordinated 6′ × 6′ gate package built around the Universal DIY frame.
The product listing combines the frame, gate stops, hinge support and sixteen black ALU40 slats into one pedestrian-gate package.
Complete aluminum gate frame
The Universal DIY frame creates the single-swing gate structure without requiring welded field fabrication.
Wide lock-side frame
The wider side frame is designed to accommodate most U.S.-size lock hardware so the latch and handle can be planned into the gate.
Top and bottom frame
Factory-prepared top and bottom frame components complete the Universal DIY gate perimeter.
Gate T-stopper
A coordinated T-stopper is included for the finished closing condition.
Receiver L-stopper side component
The receiver-side component supports clean wall-to-wall closure and lock-side planning.
5″ HD support hinge · Qty 1
One heavy-duty 5-inch support hinge is included. For true self-closing operation, a compatible hydraulic spring is recommended and sold separately.
16 black ALU40 slats
Sixteen 4″ × 6′ powder-coated 6063-T6 aluminum slats create the horizontal infill.
What is not included
Concrete footing, lock hardware, hydraulic self-closing spring and installation tools are not included with the standard kit.
Optional posts and caps
Post and cap options are selected separately when the project requires them. Concrete-footing conditions require the correct HD post configuration.
Why this 6′ × 6′ configuration
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.

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.
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.
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.

Non-combustible substrateThe aluminum material itself does not ignite or sustain flame under normal fire exposure.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.
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.
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.
Install the 16 ALU40 slats
Install the sixteen 4-inch horizontal slats consistently according to the supplied system instructions and ordered gate configuration.
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.
Set the receiver side
Align the receiver-side components, T-stopper, L-stopper and selected lock hardware for clean closure.
Align and test
Check clearances, fasteners, latch engagement and smooth swing through the full arc before regular use.
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.
Measure wall to wall
Confirm the finished opening at multiple heights and account for hinge, latch and receiver-side clearances.
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.
Confirm swing direction
Plan the hinge side and swing direction around clearance, traffic flow and the actual opening.
Plan lock hardware
Confirm the selected latch or lock body and required clearances before finalizing the lock-side setup.
Check self-closing needs
If true self-closing operation is required, select the appropriate hydraulic spring or compatible closing hardware separately.
Confirm mounting condition
The standard configuration is wall-to-wall. Concrete-footing projects require the correct HD post upgrade before installation.
