Modern Horizontal Slat Design for Today’s Architecture
The Profile20 SLAT design was developed for homeowners, contractors, and architects seeking clean horizontal lines and a modern, structured appearance for wide entry points. The horizontal Profile20 slats create a balanced, contemporary rhythm that enhances driveways, gated entrances, and perimeter access points.
This contractor-line double swing gate pairs modern aesthetics with structural strength. Its horizontal layout integrates seamlessly with contemporary homes, luxury landscapes, and commercial properties. The aluminum construction maintains crisp lines and symmetry across both gate panels, delivering a refined and cohesive architectural look.

INSTRUCTIONS
Before beginning installation, ensure all components of the Profile20 SLAT Contractor Line 12′ x 6′ Horizontal Double Swing Gate (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.
Confirm the fence panel is stable, level, and visually consistent. No painting, staining, or sealing is required—your aluminum fence is ready to enjoy.
