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.
