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.

Which residential aluminum gate style fits your home?
All five are cut-to-fit single swing gate kits. Choose the slat arrangement for the appearance and screening you want, then choose the maximum opening size and finish.
Choose a 4-, 5- or 6-foot width with a 4-, 5- or 6-foot height: nine size combinations per style. The selected size is a kit fitting limit, not the width of a preassembled gate leaf. Measure the finished opening at the top, middle and bottom, check the swing clearance, and follow the installation guide before cutting.
Available finishes are Black, Bronze, Dark Gray, Light Gray, White and Wood. Wood is a decorative finish on aluminum. Select the color and size on the product page for the current price and supplied components.
What comes with a single swing gate kit?
The kit includes aluminum slats, gate-frame profiles, side posts, spacers where required by the style, caps, hinges, a keyed entry lever and assembly hardware. Quantities and supplied lengths depend on size and style; each product page lists its components. Select mounting anchors for your actual wall or post material.
Plan the complete side-yard entrance
For a fixed section beside your gate, compare aluminum side panel kits. For a larger entrance that needs two leaves, compare double swing gate kits. Send us a photo and opening measurements if you are unsure which layout fits.
Delivery and returns before you order
Confirm the delivery estimate for your selected finish and destination with Alumission. Standard kits are eligible for return within 30 days of delivery when unused, uninstalled and unmodified. Cutting or drilling changes return eligibility. Customers pay normal return shipping; eligible retail returns have no restocking fee. Read the full return and refund policy.

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.
Turn the Space Between Columns Into a Modern Aluminum Fence
Choose your Alumission Between Columns fence kit, then tailor the slats and posts to your measured opening. Compare Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and San Francisco designs in the product grid above.
These are fence-panel kits for existing structural columns or posts—not freestanding fence runs or railing kits.
Plan your installation in three steps
1. Measure the opening
Measure between the finished column faces at the top, middle, and bottom. Record the desired panel height and check that the columns are sound and plumb. Posts and slats are cut to fit on site.
2. Identify the column material
Attach one Aluminum Side Post to each column. Select mounting screws or anchors for the actual supporting material. Column-mounting screws and anchors are not included.
3. Check the width
Openings wider than 8 feet require a center support. The 10-foot and 12-foot kits include a two-channel center post, steel post base, and aluminum base cover.
Watch before you install
How to install aluminum fence panels
Review the installation process before measuring, cutting, drilling, and fastening your panel.
Important: Supplied slat lengths and nominal kit dimensions are not final cut dimensions. Confirm the installed post positions and actual channel-to-channel measurements before cutting. Supporting surfaces, anchors, panel height, and site conditions must be suitable for the installation.
The actual Alumission support components
Aluminum Side Post: single-channel end support for attachment to existing columns. Profile dimensions: 1.750″ × 2.115″; channel opening: 0.826″.
Aluminum Post 2 Channels: center support with a slat channel on each side. The wide kits include its cap and two snap covers.
Zinc-Coated Steel Post Base: 4″ × 4″ × 1/8″ plate with a 1-1/4″ square steel stem. The wide-kit schedule specifies an 18″ base for 3′–4′ heights and a 4′ base for 5′–6′ heights.
Aluminum Base Cover: 4.375″ square × 1.000″ high. It conceals base-plate fasteners. Fit it over the steel stem before installing the aluminum post.
What is included in your kit?
Each style’s Product Details tab lists the exact slat quantities, spacer packs, caps, and bracket hardware for every size. Standard single-span kits include two Side Posts and two caps. The 10′ and 12′ kits add the complete center-support assembly. Slat counts and spacing depend on the selected design and height.
Plan separately: column anchors or mounting screws appropriate for the actual material, cutting and drilling tools, drill bits, and silicone. Do not substitute aluminum-assembly screws for structural column anchors.
Between Columns questions, answered
How do the panels attach to my columns?
A Side Post is attached to each column. The horizontal slats fit into the facing channels. Choose fasteners for the actual column construction and installation loads.
When do I need a center post?
Use a two-channel center post when the opening is wider than 8′. Standard 10′ and 12′ kits include the center post, snap covers, cap, steel post base, and aluminum base cover.
Can I cut the kit to fit?
Yes. Measure the actual opening and installed support positions, then cut the aluminum posts and slats to fit. Use a saw and blade suitable for aluminum.
Are column-mounting screws included?
No. The correct screws or anchors depend on the supporting material. The installer must select suitable mounting hardware for the columns and center-post foundation.
Where can I see the exact parts for my size?
Open the selected style and review the Product Details tables. They list components by height and width, including the additional support parts for wide kits.
Need help confirming your opening?
