6 ft aluminum gate hinge post for wall installation
The hinge side of a gate carries the weight of the leaf every time it opens. This 6 ft aluminum gate hinge post gives that side a dedicated 2x2in aluminum post, fixed to a wall rather than set in the ground. It is listed for wall installation only and for use as a pedestrian gate post. The post is 6063-T6 aluminum with AAMA 2604 super-durable powder coating in black.

Where it fits
Use it as the hinge side of a wall-to-wall gate with our DIY pedestrian gate kits, paired with the 2x2in x 6ft L-Side Post on the opposite wall. If you need both at once, the Hinge Post & L-Side Post Kit is the simpler order. For taller gates, compare the 8 ft hinge post.
Why a dedicated hinge post
Hanging a gate straight off a wall can leave the hinges fighting uneven masonry or siding. A separate aluminum hinge post gives the gate hinges a straight, square surface to fix to, which makes it easier to hang the leaf level. The box includes the post cap, baseplate and fixings, so the post arrives ready to install, and the 6063-T6 aluminum will not rot or swell like a timber post against a damp wall.
Remember that this is a wall-only post. If one side of your opening is open ground rather than a wall, choose a footing post for that side instead, such as the 3.15 post or an HD post, and confirm the combination with our team.
Before installing
- Make sure the wall is solid enough to fix a hinge post to.
- Choose the anchor bolt or wood screw to suit the surface.
- Check the 6 ft length against your gate height.
Follow the included instructions and local code. If your opening needs a ground-set post instead, confirm the right option with our team. See all aluminum gates.
Material & finish
What it is made of
(Box) 2x2in Hinge Post 6 ft (Wall Installation Only) is made from aluminum 6063-t6, finished with AAMA 2604 super-durable powder coating – Black.
6063-T6 is an architectural aluminum alloy made for extruded profiles. It gives clean, consistent shapes and takes a powder coating evenly, which is why it is widely used for fences, gates and other exterior building products.
AAMA 2604 is the American Architectural Manufacturers Association specification for high-performance organic coatings, powder coatings included, on aluminum extrusions. It sets test requirements for outdoor color and gloss retention, chalking and corrosion resistance.
