Choose Los Angeles Style for a modern horizontal slat gate with broad, evenly spaced lines. Its 5.5″ slats and 1/2″ gaps create a semi-private entrance with limited visibility through the panel. Use this single swing gate as an aluminum side yard gate, garden gate or residential pedestrian gate for a walking entrance. The cut-to-fit kit is assembled on site, so you can fit the components to an opening within the selected kit’s width and height limits. Available maximum opening widths are 4′, 5′ and 6′, each paired with a 4′, 5′ or 6′ height. Measure your finished opening and choose a kit whose listed width and height are at least as large as the opening you need to fit. These sizes describe the kit’s fitting limits, not a preassembled gate leaf. Check the illustrated installation guide before cutting. Compare all five residential aluminum single swing gate kits for different slat arrangements. Need a fixed section next to the gate? See matching aluminum side panel kits. Confirm the delivery estimate for your finish and destination before ordering. Standard kits may be returned within 30 days of delivery when unused, uninstalled and unmodified. Customers pay normal return shipping; eligible retail returns have no restocking fee. Review the return and refund policy before cutting or drilling. Critical cutting rule: after the two side posts are securely installed and the opening is confirmed, cut every horizontal slat 8″ shorter than the measured opening between the side posts. Always use the actual installed measurement—not only the nominal kit size. The horizontal slats fasten through the gate-frame channels. Matching slide-on covers conceal the assembly screws, while the stoppers and caps complete the frame. The powder-coated aluminum resists rust, termites, water, and routine outdoor exposure and can be cleaned with mild soap and water. For a fixed panel beside the gate, explore Aluminum Side Panel Kits, sold separately. Compare the single swing residential gate styles to choose the slat pattern and level of visibility that suit your home.Los Angeles Style Residential Aluminum Gate

Gate Kit Assembly & Installation Guide
Plan your side yard or pedestrian entrance with answers about gate sizes, styles, assembly and hardware. Yes. This single swing kit is designed for residential pedestrian entrances such as side yards, gardens and backyard walkways. It requires suitable mounting surfaces, sufficient swing clearance and an opening within the selected size limits. It is supplied as a kit for assembly on site. Choose Los Angeles Style for a modern horizontal slat gate with broad, evenly spaced lines. Its 5.5″ slats and 1/2″ gaps create a semi-private entrance with limited visibility through the panel. Los Angeles Style has 1/2″ gaps between its 5.5″ slats. It is a semi-private design rather than a fully closed privacy panel. Measure the finished opening at several points and check the height and swing clearance. Choose a kit whose maximum opening width and height are at least as large as the space you need to fit. The available widths and heights are 4′, 5′ and 6′, giving nine combinations. Confirm the installation measurements before cutting. No. The gate is mechanically assembled using the supplied components and assembly hardware. You will need measuring, cutting, drilling and leveling tools. Use the installation video and illustrated guide in the gallery to plan the work. Install and secure the two side posts first. Measure the actual opening between the installed side posts, then cut the slats 8″ shorter than that measurement, following the illustrated guide. Do not use the nominal kit width alone as the cutting measurement. The kit includes aluminum side posts, gate-frame profiles, slats, hinges, a keyed entry lever and assembly hardware. Read the Product Details list and selected size information for the components supplied with this style. Mounting fasteners must suit the actual supporting surface. The 1-3/4″-deep gate frame can be prepared for compatible entry hardware. Check the lock manufacturer’s backset, bore dimensions, outdoor suitability, handing and required clearance before drilling. A deadbolt or smart lock is not included unless expressly listed. No. Wood is a decorative wood-look finish on aluminum. Select the Wood option to view the available appearance; the gate is still built from aluminum profiles and slats. Yes. Alumission Side Panel Kits are sold separately and can create a coordinated fixed panel beside a pedestrian gate. Measure the gate opening and panel opening separately and choose a matching style and finish. Clean the finish with mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Periodically check hinge adjustment, fasteners, the latch and mounting points. Avoid abrasive cleaners and inspect any damaged finish so it can be addressed promptly.Residential Aluminum Gate Questions & Answers

How do I choose the correct Los Angeles gate kit size?
Measure the finished opening between the mounting surfaces at the top, middle, and bottom, then measure the available height. Use the smallest measurements and choose the smallest kit whose listed width and height are equal to or larger than your opening. The selected size is the maximum opening the kit can fit. For example, a 45″-wide opening requires the 4′-wide kit, which is cut to fit the actual opening.
What is included in the Los Angeles Single Swing Gate Kit?
Each kit includes two aluminum side posts, two gate-frame profiles, matching channel and frame covers, gate and side-post stoppers, caps, 1/2″ spacers, two adjustable 4″ self-closing hinges, one Schlage keyed entry lever, and 100 stainless steel assembly screws. It also includes the Los Angeles Style 5.5″ slats: 8 for a 4′-high gate, 10 for a 5′-high gate, or 12 for a 6′-high gate.
How long should I cut the horizontal slats?
Install, level, and securely fasten both side posts first. Measure the actual opening between the installed side posts, then cut every horizontal slat exactly 8″ shorter than that measurement. For example, if the installed opening is 45″, cut each slat to 37″. Always use the final installed measurement, not only the nominal kit size.
What does Los Angeles Style look like, and is it full privacy?
Los Angeles Style uses 5.5″ horizontal aluminum slats with consistent 1/2″ gaps created by the included spacers. The narrow gaps provide a modern semi-private appearance while allowing limited airflow and visibility. It is not a full-privacy design.
What material and finish are used, and which colors are available?
The primary profiles are made from 6063-T6 architectural aluminum and finished with an exterior-grade powder coat. Aluminum does not rust like steel and requires minimal maintenance. Available finishes are Black, Bronze, White, Dark Gray, Light Gray, and Wood. Select a color to see its current availability and lead time.
Can the included side posts mount to concrete, masonry, wood, or steel?
Yes, provided the mounting surface is stable and strong enough to support the gate. The two aluminum side posts can be mounted to concrete columns, masonry, properly reinforced wood framing, steel posts, and other suitable structures using the correct surface-specific fasteners. Anchors and mounting bolts are not included because the required type and length depend on the substrate.
Is this a DIY gate kit, and does it require welding?
Yes. The kit is designed for mechanical DIY assembly and does not require welding. Installation requires accurate measuring, cutting, drilling, leveling, and secure anchoring. Review the complete installation video and four-page illustrated guide in the product gallery before starting. Use a qualified installer when the mounting surface or structural support is uncertain.
Are the included gate hinges self-closing and adjustable?
Yes. Every Los Angeles Single Swing Gate Kit includes two adjustable 4″ self-closing hinges. After the gate is hung, leveled, and aligned, follow the hinge instructions to set the closing tension for smooth, controlled operation.
Is a lock included, and can I install a deadbolt or smart lock?
The kit includes one Schlage keyed entry lever. The 1-3/4″-deep gate frame can also be prepared for many standard levers, deadbolts, latches, and compatible smart locks. Before drilling, confirm the selected hardware’s backset, bore size, clearance requirements, and gate handing.
How does shipping work, and can I return the gate kit?
Free shipping is included. Current production time is shown with the selected finish; special colors and Wood finishes typically ship within 4–8 weeks. Standard kits may be returned within 30 days of delivery when unused, uninstalled, and in their original condition. The customer pays return shipping, and there is no restocking fee. Damaged or defective items are replaced according to Alumission’s return policy.
