A 12′ × 6′ no-gap aluminum gate built for privacy and daily use.
This ALU50-60 T&G Heavy-Duty Double Swing Gate combines a contractor-grade 4-inch aluminum frame with horizontal tongue-and-groove infill for a continuous privacy surface. The interlocking T&G profile removes the open slat gap used on ALU20 and ALU40 designs, while 6063-T6 aluminum and the listed AAMA-2604 coating system are built for exterior performance.

The infill locks together instead of spacing apart.
Tongue-and-groove aluminum profiles interlock edge-to-edge, creating a more continuous surface across both leaves. That is the defining difference of this T&G gate. The privacy effect is designed into the profile itself rather than created by adjustable spaces between separate slats.
No-gap horizontal privacy The tongue-and-groove infill creates a NO-GAP privacy surface across the double-swing gate. Contractor-grade frame The system uses a 24-foot, 4-inch heavy-duty USA aluminum gate frame with inner corner brackets and channel support. Double-swing access Two gate leaves split the 12-foot nominal opening and provide a wide entry configuration for driveways and larger access points.Heavy-duty ALU50-60 T&G construction, 12′ × 6′ double swing.
This Contractor Line gate combines a heavy-duty frame with interlocking T&G infill for a full-privacy horizontal double-swing system.
NO-GAP T&G: The tongue-and-groove panels interlock edge-to-edge to create a continuous privacy surface without open slat spacing.- Product

A cleaner panel look because the horizontal profiles interlock.
The T&G system is the NO-GAP privacy option in this product family. Interlocking horizontal profiles create a more continuous surface across both leaves, giving the gate a cleaner, more unified architectural appearance.
Continuous horizontal face
Interlocking profiles create a more unified surface with fewer visual interruptions across each leaf.
Wood-look aluminum
Woodgrain finishes bring warmth to the gate while the underlying structural material remains aluminum.
Contractor-line support
A 4″ heavy-duty frame, support channel, corner hardware and 5″ 2-way hinges are built around regular gate operation.
Corrosion-resistant material
Aluminum avoids iron-oxide rust and provides excellent corrosion resistance for exterior gate applications.
Non-combustible aluminum
The structural material is non-combustible aluminum with smoke developed listed as 0.
Custom project options
Custom colors and custom sizes are available for non-standard project requirements.

Installation detailT&G contractor-line gate
Build the heavy-duty frame first, then lock in the T&G privacy surface.
The installation sequence focuses on the heavy-duty Contractor Line frame and the interlocking NO-GAP T&G infill used by this gate.
Confirm the opening
Verify finished width, height, post or column conditions, swing direction, grade and required operating clearances before assembling either leaf.
Assemble the HD frame
Build each leaf square using the heavy-duty frame components, inner corner hardware and the fasteners specified for the kit.
Install the T&G panels
Fit the tongue-and-groove profiles so they interlock into the continuous no-gap horizontal surface. Keep both leaves aligned visually.
Set the hinges
Install and align the heavy-duty 5″ 2-way support hinges so both leaves swing freely without binding.
Set stops and closing hardware
Coordinate the listed gate stopper and cane bolt with the center meeting condition, latch or lock strategy and actual site grade.
Final alignment
Verify level, center reveal, closure, fastener tightness and swing clearances on both leaves before putting the gate into regular service.

Watch gate construction, finished project details and the horizontal double-swing design in these Aluglobus product videos.
Plan the 12-foot opening as a complete gate system.
Measure finished opening
Confirm the clear width and height at multiple points. Do not build the gate from a rough opening assumption.
Confirm structural supports
Post or masonry conditions need to support the gate leaves, hinge loads and any automation equipment selected for the project.
Choose finish deliberately
Coordinate Ipe, Walnut, Yellow Oak, Teak, Black or another available custom finish with surrounding fence, cladding and exterior materials.
Plan both swing paths
Check vehicles, slopes, walls, landscaping and grade changes through the full arc of each gate leaf.
Choose access hardware
Plan latch, lock, cane bolt, center stop and any access-control hardware before the gate is finalized.
Coordinate automation early
If operators are planned, select them based on leaf geometry, weight, wind exposure and the mounting condition rather than adding them as an afterthought.

Answers to common questions about the Contractor Line frame, NO-GAP T&G infill, materials, finishes and included hardware.
Is this a no-gap privacy gate?
Yes. This product is listed as a NO GAP ALU50-60 T&G gate. The tongue-and-groove profiles interlock to form the horizontal privacy surface, so the adjustable open gaps used on ALU20 and ALU40 slat systems do not apply to this SKU.Is this the Universal DIY gate or the heavy-duty Contractor Line?
This product is the heavy-duty Contractor Line 12′ × 6′ horizontal double-swing gate with interlocking T&G infill.What is the gate made from?
The gate uses 6063-T6 USA-made aluminum with architectural powder coating and AAMA-2604 Cardinal Paint / TIGER finish specifications, along with excellent corrosion resistance and non-combustible aluminum construction.Will the aluminum rust over time?
Aluminum does not form the red iron-oxide rust associated with steel and iron. Routine cleaning and hardware inspection are still recommended, especially in coastal environments.Can I customize the gate size or finish?
Yes. Custom colors and custom sizes are available. Confirm the finished opening and requested finish with Aluglobus before ordering a non-standard configuration.Does the kit include a locking mechanism?
The gate package includes a basic cane bolt. A separate latch, lock or access-control system can be planned based on the project requirements.Does the kit include the parts shown in the hardware section?
The gate package includes the heavy-duty frame, inner corner brackets, channel kit, ALU50 T&G panels, heavy-duty support hardware, cane bolt and multiple fastener sizes.
