Built for contractor-grade gate work

A wide double-swing opening needs more than attractive slats. The frame, hinges, posts and alignment all have to work as one system.

The heavy-duty Contractor Line is organized around a 4-inch HD aluminum gate frame, reinforced corner and channel components, ALU20 infill and two-way hinge support for professional or experienced installation.

4″ HD gate frameThe contractor frame is designed for the structural demands of a wide two-leaf swing gate. ALU20 horizontal infillThe 2″ × 3/4″ aluminum profile creates the clean horizontal rhythm associated with the ALU20 system. Manual or automation planningThe gate can be configured for swing-gate automation when the selected operator, posts, footing and site conditions are appropriate.

What’s included and specified

The structural pieces that make this a Contractor Line gate kit.

The product listing identifies the heavy-duty frame, corner reinforcement, channel system, gate stopper, hinge support, screws and ALU20 slat profile used to build the double-swing assembly.

01

4″ HD gate frame

The listing specifies 24′ of 4-inch heavy-duty USA aluminum gate-frame material for the Contractor Line assembly.

02

Inner corner brackets

Corner reinforcement helps maintain a square, rigid frame as the two gate leaves are assembled.

03

Channel kit

The channel system supports the horizontal ALU20 infill and creates a controlled, finished relationship between slats and frame.

04

6′ L-shape gate stopper

The listed L-shape stopper is part of the closing and alignment hardware for the double-swing system.

05

5″ two-way support hinge

The heavy-duty hinge system is selected for contractor-grade swing support and proper leaf alignment.

06

Fastener set

The product listing identifies #10 × 1″, #12 × 2″ black and #10 × 3/4″ screws for the gate assembly.

07

ALU20 horizontal slats

The listed infill profile is ALU20 at 2″ × 3/4″ × 6′. Slat spacing should match the ordered configuration and project requirements.

08

Post options

Compatible post options shown on the current listing include 2″, 2.75″ and 2″ × 3″. Final selection depends on site, footing and operator conditions.

09

Custom project options

Custom colors and custom gate sizes are available, allowing the Contractor Line system to be specified beyond the standard 12′ × 6′ configuration.

ALU20 heavy-duty double swing gate hinge and frame reference Why this 12′ × 6′ configuration

A wide opening divided into two controlled swing leaves instead of one oversized panel.

The 12-foot overall gate is configured as a double swing, creating two leaves that meet at the center. This format is suited to driveways and broad access points where there is enough clear swing area on the property. The 6-foot height provides substantial coverage, while the 4-inch HD frame is intended to maintain structural stability across frequent use and the narrower ALU20 horizontal profile keeps the design visually refined across the full opening.

Contractor Line hardware and planning

Frame strength is only part of the gate. Post, footing, hinge and operator choices control how the system performs after installation.

The product is designed as a heavy-duty kit, but the site still determines the correct support condition. Contractors should treat the post and footing selection as part of the gate system rather than an afterthought.

4″ HD frame

This Contractor Line configuration uses a 4-inch heavy-duty gate-frame platform for the 12-foot double-swing opening.

5″ two-way hinge support

Heavy-duty two-way hinge hardware is listed for the gate. Alignment and structural attachment remain critical across both leaves.

Post selection

2-inch, 2.75-inch and 2 × 3-inch post options are shown on the listing. Selection should match the actual opening, load, exposure and operator plan.

Concrete and footing conditions

Posts must be installed plumb and securely supported. Footing design and embedment depend on project conditions and applicable requirements.

Automation planning

The gate can support compatible swing automation, but operator capacity, attachment location, safety devices and site geometry must be confirmed as a complete system.

Center closing condition

Both leaves must align correctly at the center, with the stopper, latch or access-control hardware planned before final adjustment.

Applications

A contractor-grade aluminum gate for driveways and wide access points where two swing leaves make sense.

The 12′ × 6′ format is intended for wide residential and light-commercial openings with enough clear area for the double-swing arc and suitable structural support.

Residential driveways

Create a modern two-leaf driveway entrance with horizontal ALU20 lines and contractor-grade aluminum framing.

Estate entrances

The broad 12-foot format works well where the entrance needs architectural presence as well as vehicle access.

Gated communities and HOA projects

Use the repeatable aluminum system where consistent appearance and durable gate construction matter across multiple access points.

Commercial access

A practical option for office, mixed-use and light-commercial entries when the opening and use cycle suit a double-swing system.

Pool and perimeter openings

The horizontal aluminum system can be used at pool or perimeter access points when the complete installation, latch, clearance and local safety requirements are satisfied.

Light-industrial and mixed-use access

The reinforced Contractor Line can serve appropriate light-industrial and mixed-use openings where the site conditions suit a double-swing gate.

Matching fence-and-gate packages

Coordinate the ALU20 horizontal language with compatible aluminum fence systems for a more continuous property design.

Coastal and humid climates

Aluminum avoids iron-oxide rust and is well suited to environments where steel corrosion maintenance can become a recurring issue.

Durability, finish and non-combustible material

6063-T6 aluminum with an AAMA 2604 architectural finish for exterior gate applications.

The current listing specifies USA-made 6063-T6 aluminum, architectural powder coating and Cardinal Paint / TIGER powder systems. Aluminum does not develop iron-oxide rust like steel, and the metal substrate is non-combustible.

6063-T6 aluminumStrong, lightweight architectural aluminum provides the material platform for the frame and ALU20 system. AAMA 2604 powder coatAn architectural exterior finish supports long-term color and surface protection with routine cleaning. Non-combustible substrateThe aluminum itself does not ignite or sustain flame under normal fire exposure. Final code compliance always depends on the complete project assembly and jurisdiction.
Installation sequence

A six-step contractor workflow from verified opening to synchronized double-swing operation.

Start with the site and support conditions, then assemble the two heavy-duty leaves square, install the ALU20 infill and complete hinge, stop and access-control alignment before regular use.

01

Verify the finished opening

Confirm the 12-foot overall opening, 6-foot gate height, grade, swing path and center meeting condition before setting support hardware.

02

Confirm posts and footings

Select the appropriate post configuration for the site, then install structural supports plumb, aligned and adequately founded for the gate and any operator loads.

03

Assemble the 4″ HD frames

Lay out the heavy-duty frame sections, inner corner brackets and channel components on a protected flat surface and keep both leaves square during assembly.

04

Install ALU20 horizontal slats

Install the 2″ × 3/4″ × 6′ ALU20 slats consistently according to the ordered spacing and secure them with the specified fasteners.

05

Set the 5″ two-way hinges

Hang and align both leaves so they swing freely, maintain clearances and meet correctly at the center without forcing the frame.

06

Set stops, access hardware and automation

Complete the L-shape stopper, latch or access-control condition, then test both leaves. If automated, commission the operator and required safety devices as a complete gate system.

Buying and project-planning guide

Confirm more than the width. A 12-foot double swing depends on support, swing geometry and hardware selection.

The listed gate size gives you the overall target, but the installation succeeds only when the two leaves, supports and access hardware are planned around the real site.

01

Measure the opening

Measure width and height at multiple points and confirm the finished dimension that the installed gate must serve.

02

Check the swing arc

Confirm both leaves have clear travel and will not conflict with vehicles, walls, landscaping, slope or required access paths.

03

Select the support posts

Choose among the listed post options based on actual structure, footing, exposure and gate-operator requirements rather than appearance alone.

04

Plan automation early

If a swing operator will be used, select it before final hardware layout so attachment points, power, safety equipment and travel geometry are coordinated.

05

Confirm slat spacing and privacy

The ALU20 system can balance privacy and airflow through the ordered slat spacing. Confirm the actual configuration before assembly.

06

Confirm finish and custom sizing

AAMA 2604 architectural powder coating is standard to the system, with custom colors and custom gate sizes available for project-specific orders.

Frequently asked questions

Answers before you order or install the 12′ × 6′ ALU20 Contractor Line gate.

Common questions about the HD frame, double-swing layout, ALU20 slats, posts, automation, finish and installation planning.

What is the ALU20 SLAT Contractor Line 12′ × 6′ Horizontal Double Swing Gate?It is a contractor-grade aluminum HD PAD Gate kit configured as a 12-foot-wide by 6-foot-high double swing system. It uses a 4-inch heavy-duty aluminum gate frame with ALU20 horizontal slats and reinforced gate hardware.
What size opening is this gate designed around?The listed configuration is 12′ wide × 6′ high overall. Final installed clearances depend on the selected posts, hinges, center condition and project measurements, so the site opening should be verified before ordering.
What components are specified with the gate kit?The current listing identifies 24′ of 4-inch HD USA aluminum gate-frame material, inner corner brackets, a channel kit, a 6′ L-shape gate stopper, heavy-duty 5-inch two-way support hinges, listed assembly screws and ALU20 2″ × 3/4″ × 6′ slats.
Are ALU20 horizontal slats suitable for privacy?The horizontal ALU20 layout can provide partial to stronger visual privacy depending on the ordered spacing. Confirm the exact slat gap for the project rather than assuming one standard privacy level.
Can the double-swing gate be automated?The product description states that the gate can be configured to support swing-gate automation. The operator must be selected for the actual leaf size and weight, and the post, footing, attachment, power and safety-device requirements must be coordinated for the installation.
What post sizes are shown for this Contractor Line gate?The listing shows 2″, 2.75″ and 2″ × 3″ post options. The correct selection depends on the site conditions, exposure, footing design, gate use and any automation plan.
Is it suitable for residential and commercial projects?Yes. The current page positions this gate for residential driveways, estate entrances, gated communities, commercial properties and other wide access points where the double-swing layout is appropriate.
Does the aluminum rust?6063-T6 aluminum does not form iron-oxide rust like steel. The AAMA 2604 architectural powder coating adds exterior surface protection. Routine cleaning is still recommended, especially in coastal or high-salt environments.
How long does an aluminum horizontal swing gate last?The current listing does not publish a fixed service-life number. Long-term performance depends on correct structural installation, hinge and operator setup, exposure, use cycle and maintenance. Aluminum avoids the rust and rot mechanisms that commonly shorten the life of steel and wood gates.
Can I order a custom color or custom size?Yes. The product listing states that custom colors and custom sizes are available. Confirm the required opening, finish and hardware conditions with Aluglobus before ordering a nonstandard configuration.
Is the aluminum non-combustible?The product lists the aluminum substrate as non-combustible, with no normal ignition behavior and zero smoke development for the metal. That material characteristic does not by itself certify a complete gate installation for every fire-code or defensible-space requirement, so project-specific compliance should still be confirmed.
Ready to specify the gate?
