What’s included

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.

01

Universal DIY gate frame

Complete pre-engineered aluminum gate frame sized for the 4-foot-high by 6-foot-wide single-swing configuration.

02

Wide lock side frame

The wide side profile is designed to coordinate with most U.S.-size lock hardware selected for the project.

03

Top and bottom frame

Coordinated top and bottom frame components complete the fully DIY frame design.

04

Gate T-stopper

The gate-side stopper component is included as part of the Universal DIY frame system.

05

Receiver L-stopper side post

The receiver-side L-stopper component helps finish the closing side of the gate opening.

06

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.

07

8 ALU40 slats

Eight 4-inch × 6-foot ALU40 aluminum slats are included for the 4×6 configuration in super-durable powder-coated black.

08

Assembly-ready system

The kit is designed around no-weld assembly, with the frame and components prepared for an intermediate DIY or contractor installation.

Not included: concrete footing, lock hardware, hydraulic self-closing spring and installation tools are not included in the standard kit.
Why ALU40 Universal DIY

A modern horizontal gate without the fabrication workflow.

01

DIY installation

Pre-engineered components eliminate the need to weld the gate frame in the field.

02

Horizontal ALU40 design

Four-inch aluminum slats create the clean horizontal rhythm associated with modern residential and light-commercial architecture.

03

Adjustable privacy

Choose the specified 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch gap to balance visual screening, airflow and the desired architectural expression.

04

Rust-free aluminum

6063-T6 aluminum avoids the iron-oxide rust cycle associated with ferrous gate materials.

05

Exterior-ready finish

AAMA 2604 architectural powder coating is used for long-term exterior color and finish performance.

06

Factory-direct support

Aluglobus Aluminum Systems supplies the gate system directly and can help contractors or serious DIY customers confirm the correct project package.

Recommended applications

Designed for modern pedestrian openings and coordinated aluminum projects.

01

Residential gates

A clean single-swing access gate for side yards, courtyards and residential pedestrian openings.

02

Privacy fencing layouts

ALU40 horizontal slats can coordinate the gate visually with modern aluminum fence systems.

03

Courtyards and entryways

The 6-foot-wide opening gives a broad pedestrian entry while the 4-foot height keeps the gate visually open.

04

Coastal properties

Aluminum and architectural powder coating are well suited to humid and salt-air environments with appropriate routine cleaning.

05

Light commercial access

The gate can serve controlled pedestrian openings where a clean, low-maintenance aluminum system is preferred.

06

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.

Material and finish

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.

6063-T6 aluminumStrong, lightweight and corrosion-resistant for exterior gate applications. AAMA 2604 finishArchitectural powder-coating standard listed for this product. Black standard colorThe gate arrives powder coated, with custom colors available upon request. Non-combustible substrateThe aluminum substrate is non-combustible. Project-specific code compliance depends on the complete installed assembly and local requirements.
Installation sequence

The six-step workflow carried over from the product instructions.

01

Preparation

Organize all materials in a clean workspace to avoid damage or misplacement.

02

Frame assembly

Connect the universal gate frame with stainless-steel screws, keeping all corners square and secure.

03

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.

04

Hinge installation

Attach the heavy-duty hinge hardware to the side post and frame, then verify alignment for smooth swing operation.

05

Post and gap cover installation

Attach the side posts and gap-cover components to finish the wall-to-wall opening cleanly.

06

Final touches

Press flat caps onto the posts, inspect the connections, confirm clearances and clean the aluminum surfaces.

Plan before ordering

Confirm the opening, mounting condition, swing and hardware first.

01

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.

02

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.

03

Choose 3/8″ or 1/2″ gap

Select the slat spacing that gives the desired balance of privacy and openness before final assembly.

04

Plan the lock

Lock hardware is not included. Confirm the selected latch or lock body and clearances for the wide lock-side frame.

05

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.

06

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.

Frequently asked questions

Answers before you assemble the ALU40 gate.

Review common questions about DIY assembly, gate sizing, finish, kit contents, mounting conditions and exterior use.

Can I install the ALU40 Universal DIY 4′ × 6′ Gate Kit BLACK by myself?Yes. The kit is designed for DIY users. Components are pre-sized and engineered for straightforward assembly with no welding required.
Is the gate frame already sized or do I need to cut anything?The gate frame comes pre-sized for the 4×6 configuration, so the frame itself does not require cutting. Follow the supplied slat and assembly instructions for the infill.
Can one person install the gate, or do I need assistance?One person can assemble the frame, but an extra helper is useful during leveling and mounting so the gate can be positioned more quickly and precisely.
Do I need to paint or coat the gate after installation?No. The black finish is already powder coated for durability, corrosion resistance and long-term color performance.
What exactly is included in this 4×6 kit?This 4×6 configuration includes the Universal DIY frame, wide lock side, top and bottom frame, T-stopper, receiver L-stopper side post, one 5-inch HD support hinge and eight 4-inch × 6-foot ALU40 slats.
Can this gate be installed with posts set in concrete?The standard specification is wall-to-wall only. The product page states that a concrete-footing installation requires an HD post upgrade that must be requested.
Does the kit include the lock or self-closing spring?No. Lock hardware and the hydraulic self-closing spring are listed as not included. Select those parts based on the access-control and self-closing requirements of the project.
Is the aluminum gate suitable for coastal or humid climates?Yes. The product is specifically listed for coastal, humid and harsh climates. Routine cleaning is still recommended where salt or environmental deposits accumulate.
