Aluminum Gate Frame

It is designed specifically as the structural frame profile for swing gates, including pedestrian gates, single driveway gates, and individual leaves in double swing-gate systems.

No. This profile is purpose-built for swing-gate construction. Use other profiles and components specifically selected for a complete sliding-gate system.

The profile can be used for swing gates up to 10′ wide and 8′ tall when the complete gate, hinges, posts, reinforcement, fasteners, footings, and wind-load design are appropriate for the project.

A semi-framed gate uses this profile vertically on the left and right sides while compatible horizontal slats span between them. The two substantial side members form the hinge side and lock side of the gate.

Install one profile vertically at the hinge side and one vertically at the latch or lock side. Secure the compatible horizontal slats through the integrated screw channels, then install the slide-on covers.

Yes. Horizontal slats are well suited to the semi-framed configuration because they span between the left and right vertical gate-frame profiles.

Yes. A vertical-slat gate must be fully framed on all four sides—left, right, top, and bottom—so the frame supports and captures both ends of the vertical slats.

Yes. It can frame a single swing gate or each individual gate leaf in a double swing-gate opening.

Yes. The broad lock-side face is designed to receive virtually any standard gate lock when the profile is properly laid out, drilled, machined, and reinforced for the selected hardware.

Yes. The frame provides a substantial face for deadbolt preparation. Confirm the required backset, bore sizes, edge clearance, strike alignment, and any internal reinforcement before cutting.

Yes. Keyed levers, latches, and similar gate hardware can be installed when their dimensions and mounting requirements are compatible with the frame and the completed gate.

Compatible electric strikes, magnetic locks, keypads, intercom-related hardware, and other access-control components may be used when the complete hardware layout, wiring route, clearances, and reinforcement are planned in advance.

No. The frame is supplied as an unmachined extrusion so the fabricator can prepare it for the exact lock, deadbolt, latch, backset, and gate handing required by the project.

The slats are secured with screws installed through the frame’s dedicated side channel. The channel keeps the fastening line organized and allows the cover to conceal it afterward.

No. After the slats are secured, the matching slide-on cover closes the screw channel so the finished gate has no exposed installation screws along that face.

Yes. One matching Aluminum Slide Side Cover at the selected frame length is included with each gate-frame profile.

Yes. Use suitable aluminum-cutting equipment with a fine-tooth blade, support the extrusion during the cut, and deburr the cut edges before assembly.

The profile can be incorporated into a properly planned welded or mechanically assembled gate. The selected joints, corner connections, screws, and reinforcement must suit the gate size, slat direction, weight, and use.

Attach hinges to the designated hinge-side frame using the mounting method, backing, and reinforcement required by the hinge manufacturer and completed gate weight.

Large, wide, heavy, high-use, or wind-exposed gates may require internal reinforcement, additional bracing, heavier hinges, stronger posts, and larger footings. Size the complete assembly for the project conditions.

Vertical slats run from bottom to top and therefore need a structural member at both ends. The left and right members complete the perimeter and provide the hinge and lock sides.

Yes. It can support compatible full-privacy or semi-private slat layouts when the slats, connections, gate dimensions, and wind-load design are appropriate.

Solid and full-privacy gates can receive substantial wind pressure. Gate width and height, slat openness, frame reinforcement, hinges, posts, fasteners, footings, operators, and local wind conditions must all be considered.

No. The product includes one gate-frame extrusion and one matching slide-on side cover. Slats, additional frames and covers, screws, hinges, posts, locks, deadbolts, latches, reinforcement, and other hardware are sold separately.

The cleaned drawing shows a 5.000″ overall width, 1.750″ overall height, 1.402″ lock-side section, 0.830″ internal channel height, and 0.073″ wall thickness at the identified wall. Normal extrusion tolerances apply.

The profile is manufactured from 6063-T6 aluminum, an architectural extrusion alloy selected for practical strength, corrosion resistance, finish quality, and fabrication.

The listed profile weight is approximately 1.559 pounds per foot, subject to normal extrusion tolerances.

The available online lengths are 6′ and 8′.

Yes. A 10′ length can be ordered by phone with an Alumission representative. Shipping charges may apply, and 10′ lengths cannot be purchased online.

Available finishes are Black, Bronze, White, Dark Grey, and Light Gray.

No. Aluminum does not rust like ordinary steel, and the exterior powder-coated finish provides an additional protective and decorative layer.

Clean it with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive pads, strong solvents, and harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.

The aluminum body is noncombustible. Performance of the completed gate still depends on the full assembly, coatings, adjoining materials, gaps, hardware, and installation conditions.
