About Our Cast Aluminum Gates

We are the exception to the masses of cheap mass manufactured and poorly crafted gates available. Our aluminum gates grace the entrances and gardens of some of the most prestigious upscale homes and private resorts across the country. These beautiful aluminum


gates have even been featured on the popular home show “Curb Appeal” and in “Fine Home Building Magazine” to rave reviews.

Our gates are meant to last decades not years like most others. These exquisitely designed gates add an elegance all their own whether they are securing a private residence, large upscale development or private resort. They are the perfect choice for clients who enjoy the very intricate and ornate designs only cast metals can offer. Our aluminum gates are lightweight, nearly maintenance free and are perfect for areas with corrosive and extreme climates such as ocean front.

Our aluminum gates are as secure as they are beautiful. Extremely strong they area made from durable commercial grade aluminum. They are made the exact same way as authentic cast iron, but with much stronger structural grade 6063 aluminum. Cast iron is very brittle but the aluminum is

very robust and stress tolerant. All other elements including hinges, latches and dead bolts, ground anchors and rollers are designed and engineered to minimize maintenance costs and minimize or eliminate rust or corrosion concerns by using stainless steel or galvanized metal components. The gate or fence sections are carefully hand prepped and pre-finished with a factory applied four-coat acrylic paint available in a wide range of colors such as our very popular Antique Bronze or Antique Gold. Ask for our color chart to view our complete selection of beautiful finish options.

Material Specs: The aluminum gate perimeter frames are made with heavy-duty, extruded 6063 aluminum profiles. The standard frame used on most garden gates measures approximately 1.5” x 3”. Each gate frame comes pre-hung and hinged with optional ground anchors. Consequently our gates offer a set up that any reputable professional handyman or contractor can easily and quickly install with minimal mess and interruption.


The aluminum gate hinge system consists of a stainless steel pin-and-barrel hinge with ball bearing load point. This allows the gate to have a smooth unimpeded swing. Hinges are available in 2” and 1.5” diameters. Hinges are welded to a galvanized steel bracket secured to the aluminum extruded frame by four 1/4” steel rivet pins. Brackets and hinges come pre-finished to match the gate paint finish.

Perfect for upscale commercial and luxury developments!

Cast Aluminum vs. Wrought Iron: Many of our clients initially contact us with interest in wrought iron gates, but are pleasantly surprised to discover our alternative aluminum series which is less costly and just as beautiful. Although the metals appear both very similar and shiny in the raw form prior to finish, Aluminum offers several important benefits that wrought iron cannot. Like wrought iron structural grade aluminum is very strong and durable. It is often used structurally for building commercial buildings. It also does not rust like wrought iron and consequently offers a nearly maintenance free product. Another unique quality to aluminum is that it is also very lightweight. This is an important feature for our gates as it beneficially causes minimal wear on expensive gate automation equipment.

Wrought iron and cast aluminum differ also by method of manufacture. Cast aluminum is processed using a mold pouring method exactly the same as authentic cast iron whereas wrought iron begins in long rods. Many items labeled “wrought iron” on the market today are anything but, as true hand forged wrought iron is heated and formed by a blacksmith with hand tools and an anvil. It is a very labor intensive and expensive process that takes a very skilled craftsman. Our cast aluminum gates are a wonderful alternative for those seeking the cast iron look without the rust and maintenance. We are certain they will make a stunning and beautiful addition to your garden and landscape.

Please contact us with any questions or concerns, we would be happy to assist you in choosing the appropriate entry or estate gate for your home and property.
