Aluminum Gate Kits: Choose, Order & Install With Confidence
Build a modern aluminum gate that fits your opening and your style. Alumission gate kits are made for straightforward assembly with common tools, giving homeowners and professionals a clean, durable solution for side yards, walkways, entrances, and driveways.
Choose a single swing gate for a pedestrian or side-yard opening, or a double swing gate for a wider driveway-style entrance. Select your design, size, and powder-coated finish, then use the installation videos below to see the entire process before you order.
Measure the finished opening, then select a single or double swing kit in the style, maximum size, and color that fits your project.
Order your kit
Choose your product options online. Most orders ship within 2–3 business days, with transit typically taking 2–5 business days depending on location.
Cut, assemble, and install
Trim the aluminum profiles when needed, assemble the frame and infill, then install the hinges and locking hardware by following the guide.
What is included in an Alumission gate kit?
Powder-coated aluminum gate frame for structural support
Aluminum infill panels or slats for your selected design
Self-closing gate hinges sized for the kit
Keyed lever and lock preparation for everyday access
Mounting screws and fasteners required for assembly
Finishing components such as caps and matching trim
Installation guidance with video support from start to finish
Standard residential and commercial locks—including many deadbolts, combination locks, and smart locks—can be installed on the gate. Always confirm the dimensions and requirements of your chosen lock before installation.
Aluminum gate kit questions
What tools do I need to install an aluminum gate kit?
Typical installations use a miter saw fitted with an aluminum-cutting blade, a drill and bits, a level, and a tape measure. Review the complete installation video before starting so you can prepare the tools required for your opening and mounting surface.
How long does a single gate kit take to install?
A handy installer with the right tools can typically complete a single gate kit in about 2–4 hours. Your project may take longer depending on the opening, mounting surface, cuts, and site conditions.
Will I need to cut the aluminum profiles?
Often, yes. The listed kit size is the maximum finished size. You can trim the side posts and frame to adjust height, and trim the horizontal slats to adjust width.
What does the gate-kit size mean?
The selected size is the maximum height and width available from that kit. For example, a 4 ft × 6 ft kit can be fitted to an opening up to 48 inches wide and 72 inches high. Always follow the product-page measuring guidance before ordering.
What blade should I use to cut the aluminum?
Use a blade designed for cutting aluminum. It resembles a wood-cutting blade but generally has more teeth. Follow the blade manufacturer’s instructions and use appropriate eye, hearing, and hand protection.
What warranty comes with the gate kit?
Alumission lists a lifetime warranty for the aluminum and a three-year warranty for the finish. Review the current warranty terms for coverage details and exclusions.
Can I install a deadbolt, combination lock, or smart lock?
Yes. The gate kits are designed around common U.S. residential and commercial lock formats, so many standard deadbolts, combination locks, and smart locks can be fitted.
How quickly will my order arrive?
Most orders ship within 2–3 business days. Transit typically takes another 2–5 business days depending on your location, and tracking is provided after shipment.

Tell us your opening size, preferred style, and project type. Our team can help you choose the right single or double swing gate kit before you order.
Build a Double Swing Aluminum Gate That Fits Your Opening
Create a balanced, modern entrance with two coordinated gate leaves. Alumission double swing gate kits are made for driveways, courtyards, and wider access points where a single oversized leaf is not the best fit.
Choose from five architectural styles, select the size and powder-coated finish that match your project, and review the planning guidance below before ordering.
Good measurements and a clear swing path make product selection easier and help prevent installation surprises.
1
Measure the finished opening
Measure between the mounting surfaces at the top, middle, and bottom. Use the narrowest measurement and confirm the opening is level and plumb.
2
Check both swing paths
Make sure each leaf has room to open without contacting vehicles, walls, landscaping, slopes, or other obstacles.
3
Plan the center meeting point
Confirm where the two leaves will meet and how the gate will close, latch, and remain aligned for everyday use.
Before ordering: Gate sizing, hardware selection, mounting surfaces, grade, and automation needs can affect the finished installation. If anything is uncertain, send Alumission your opening dimensions and project details first.

Five double swing gate styles, one coordinated entrance
Compare the complete collection, then select the size and finish on the product page.
Double swing or single swing?
Choose double swing for wider access
Two leaves share the opening and meet at the center, making this format a strong choice for driveways, courtyards, and larger entrances.
Record the finished opening, confirm both mounting surfaces, and check the available swing space on each side.
Choose your design
Compare the five styles, then select the size and powder-coated finish that suit the property.
Assemble and align
Build each leaf carefully, mount the gate, and align the two leaves so they meet evenly at the center.
Double swing aluminum gate kit FAQs
What is a double swing gate?
A double swing gate uses two hinged leaves that meet near the center of the opening. It is commonly selected for driveways, courtyards, and other wide entrances.
How should I measure for a double swing gate kit?
Measure the finished distance between the mounting surfaces at the top, middle, and bottom, then use the narrowest measurement. Also confirm the opening is level and that both gate leaves will have enough room to swing.
How do I choose between a single and double swing gate?
Single swing gates are generally better for pedestrian and narrower openings. Double swing gates divide a wider opening between two leaves and are often a better fit for driveway-style access.
Can a double swing gate open inward or outward?
The appropriate direction depends on your property, grade, clearance, local requirements, and how the entrance will be used. Check the full swing path on both sides before choosing the installation direction.
Can I automate an Alumission double swing gate?
Automation depends on the selected operator, gate size, mounting geometry, power, site conditions, and safety requirements. Confirm compatibility with Alumission and the operator manufacturer before purchasing automation equipment.
What should I check at the center of the gate?
Plan how the leaves will meet, align, latch, and remain stable when closed. Center-stop or securing requirements vary by project, so review the selected product and installation guidance before ordering.
Are double swing aluminum gates low maintenance?
Powder-coated aluminum does not rust like untreated steel and avoids the rot associated with wood. Periodically inspect the hinges, fasteners, alignment, and locking hardware and clean the finish as needed.
Which double swing gate styles are available?
This category currently includes Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and San Francisco designs. Each product page shows its available size and finish choices.
Want us to check your opening before you order?
Send your finished opening width and height, mounting-surface details, preferred style, and photos of the area. The Alumission team can help you choose the most suitable double swing gate kit.
Choose a Single Swing Aluminum Gate Kit With Confidence
Build a modern pedestrian gate for a walkway, side yard, garden entrance, or private access point. Alumission single swing gate kits combine durable powder-coated aluminum with five architectural designs and adjustable size options.
Start by comparing the five products above. Then use this guide to confirm your opening, swing direction, mounting surfaces, style, and installation plan.
Three quick checks help you choose the right kit and reduce adjustments during installation.
Measure the finished opening
Measure between the mounting surfaces at the top, middle, and bottom. Record the narrowest width and verify the surfaces are plumb.
Choose the swing direction
Check where the gate can open freely without contacting steps, walls, landscaping, equipment, or changes in grade.
Confirm hinges and access
Decide which side will carry the hinges, where the handle and lock will sit, and how people will approach the gate from each side.
!
Helpful sizing rule: Product options describe the kit’s available size. Your finished gate and required clearances depend on the selected product, opening, hardware, and mounting conditions. Check the product instructions or ask Alumission before ordering if the fit is close.

Single swing aluminum gate kit FAQs
Where does a single swing gate work best?
Single swing gates are commonly used for walkways, side yards, gardens, pedestrian entrances, and other openings where one leaf can span the space and swing freely.
How do I measure for a single swing gate kit?
Measure between the finished mounting surfaces at the top, middle, and bottom and record the narrowest dimension. Also measure the height and verify that both sides are plumb and structurally suitable.
How do I choose which way the gate should swing?
Choose the direction that provides safe, unobstructed movement and convenient access. Consider steps, slopes, walls, landscaping, walkways, property boundaries, and local requirements before installation.
Will I need to cut the aluminum components?
Some installations require trimming components so the gate fits the finished opening. Follow the selected product’s instructions and use tools and blades intended for cutting aluminum.
What tools are typically needed?
Common installations use accurate measuring tools, a level, a drill and suitable bits, and—when trimming is required—a saw and blade designed for aluminum. Review the complete installation video before starting.
Can I install a deadbolt, combination lock, or smart lock?
Many common residential and commercial lock formats may be suitable, but dimensions and installation requirements vary. Confirm the chosen lock’s compatibility before cutting or drilling the gate.
How long does installation take?
A prepared installer with the correct tools may complete a straightforward single gate project in several hours. Actual time depends on the opening, mounting surfaces, cuts, hardware, and site conditions.
Which single swing gate styles are available?
This category currently includes Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and San Francisco designs. Each product page shows its current size and finish options.
Not sure which size or swing direction to choose?
Send your finished opening width and height, mounting-surface details, preferred design, and clear photos of the area. The Alumission team can help you review the project before you order.
