Low Maintenance and Long-Term Value
Maintenance is one of the biggest advantages of choosing the ALU40 Contractor Line 4×6 Gate Kit HD Pad Gate. Unlike wood that requires staining, sanding, or sealing, aluminum needs only an occasional rinse to remain clean and vibrant. This is especially valuable for households looking for a long-lasting fencing and gate solution that won’t demand ongoing upkeep.
The gate’s long-term value stems from its rust-resistant finish, structural integrity, and timeless design. Because aluminum retains its shape and appearance for many years, it remains one of the most cost-effective materials available for outdoor gate systems. This durability also adds property value, making aluminum gate installations a smart investment for modern homes.

Why Homeowners Prefer Aluminum Gate Systems
Aluminum gate systems have grown in popularity due to their ability to deliver strength without unnecessary weight. This makes them easy to operate, resistant to damage, and highly practical in busy residential settings. The ALU40 Contractor Line 4×6 Gate Kit HD Pad Gate captures these advantages perfectly.
It resists rust, fading, and warping—common issues with traditional gate materials. In climates with heavy rain, intense sunlight, or high humidity, aluminum consistently outperforms wood and steel. Its minimalist appearance also fits well with modern landscape trends focused on clean lines and low-maintenance design choices.
INSTRUCTIONS
Before beginning installation, ensure all components of the Profile40 contractor line 4′ x 6′ GATE KIT (HD PAD GATE ) are present and undamaged. Lay out the gate frame sections, Profile20 slats, hardware, hinges, and accessories on a clean, flat surface to prevent scratching or misplacement.
Confirm the gate opening width and height, ensuring posts are securely installed, plumb, and properly spaced to support a 12 ft double swing configuration. Verify that ground conditions allow full swing clearance and that local building codes and setback requirements are met before installation.
Prepare the required tools, including a level, tape measure, drill, socket set, and safety equipment, to ensure accurate alignment, smooth hinge operation, and a professional-grade installation.
Assemble the top, bottom, and side frame components on a flat surface. Ensure all corners are square before fastening.
Secure frame pieces using the supplied hardware, tightening fasteners evenly to maintain proper alignment. Double-check measurements and squareness before fully tightening all connections.
Once assembled, verify the frame is rigid and level before proceeding to slat installation.
Insert ALU20 aluminum slats horizontally into the frame channels, starting from the bottom and working upward.
Maintain the pre-designed between each slat to ensure consistent spacing and a clean, uniform appearance. Ensure slats are fully seated and aligned before installing the next piece.
Continue until all slats are installed, then confirm the panel remains square and level.
Position hinges on the frame according to the recommended mounting locations. Attach hinges securely using the provided hardware.
Ensure proper alignment to allow smooth movement and even weight distribution. Test the panel’s swing to confirm unobstructed operation and adjust hinge placement if necessary.
Attach the assembled fence panel to the installed posts, ensuring proper spacing and alignment.
Install post covers and gap covers as needed to conceal fasteners and provide a clean, finished appearance. Confirm all covers fit securely and evenly.
Inspect all fasteners and connections, tightening as needed. Clean the surface to remove dust or fingerprints from installation.
