Build a Double Swing Aluminum Driveway Gate That Fits Your Opening
Create a balanced, modern entrance with two coordinated gate leaves. Alumission aluminum driveway gate kits use a double swing design for driveways, courtyards, and wider access points.
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.

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.
