Lumina Collection Group

Aluminum Gates

Aluminum gates finish a fence line the way a front door finishes a house. Every Lumina gate is built to match its fence series exactly, so the slat width, spacing and finish carry straight through from panel to gate with no visual break.

Choose the gate that fits the opening. Pedestrian gates (4 x 6 ft) handle side yards, garden entries and pool fence openings. Double swing gates (8 x 6 ft) open in two leaves for wider walkways and driveways with room to swing. Sliding gates (16 x 6 ft) are the answer for driveways without that room, gliding along the fence line instead of swinging into the drive.

Professional installation, available through Lumina

Prefer to have your fence installed? Lumina can arrange professional installation through our licensed installation partner, Practic Vinyl Fencing Inc. (CSLB Lic. #1099109), so you can choose your style, gates and posts at the showroom and have the whole project handled from one place. Ask about installation when you request a quote, and share your site details, such as slopes, walls and gate openings, so we can plan it properly.

Each gate is available in all five of our aluminum fence series: Hampton with 2 inch slats, Ridgeline with 4 inch slats, Linea with a 4 inch overlap for full privacy, Ventura with 3 inch louvers that let air through while blocking sightlines, and Summit with bold 6 inch slats. Matte black is the signature finish, with white available on select styles. For design inspiration, see these modern aluminum fence styles.

Lumina gates are made from T6063 aluminum with a high-performance powder coat, so they will not rust, rot or need repainting, and they are backed by a 25-year limited warranty against rust and discoloration. Matching posts, surface-mount and in-ground, are available for every gate.

Visit our Panorama City showroom to see the gates alongside their fence panels, or request a quote and our team will help you size the right gate for your opening.

Aluminum gate guide

Choosing the right aluminum gate

A gate is the part of a fence you touch every day, so it is worth choosing carefully. Every Lumina aluminum gate is built from the same profiles as its fence series, so the slat lines run straight through from panel to gate. Here is how to choose the type, size and style for each opening on your property.

Gate typeSizeBest for
Pedestrian gate4 x 6 ftSide yards, garden entries, front walkways and pool area openings
Double swing gate8 x 6 ftWider walkways, garden and equipment access, and driveways where two swinging leaves fit
Sliding gate16 x 6 ftDriveways, especially where there is no room for a gate to swing

Aluminum driveway gates: sliding or double swing?

For a driveway, the choice usually comes down to space. A sliding gate glides along the fence line, so it needs clear, fairly level space beside the opening for the gate to travel into, but nothing in front of or behind it. A double swing gate opens in two leaves, so it needs room for both leaves to swing without hitting a sloped drive, a parked car or the sidewalk. If your driveway slopes up from the street or is short, sliding is often the better fit. If you have a wide, flat apron and no space along the fence line, a double swing gate may suit you better. Our team can look at photos of your driveway and suggest the right option.

Pedestrian and side yard gates

A 4 x 6 ft pedestrian gate covers most side yards, garden entries and walkways. It is also the gate people choose for a pool fence opening. Plan which way it should swing before you order. Most people want a side gate to swing into the yard, away from the path, and clear of steps, hose bibs and AC units.

Matching a gate to your aluminum fence

Each gate type comes in all five Lumina series, so a driveway gate, a side gate and the fence panels between them can share one look:

Black aluminum gates and finishes

Matte black is the most requested finish for an aluminum gate. It reads as clean and modern against stucco, stone and planting, and it hides everyday dust well. White is available on select styles. Every gate is finished in a powder coat over T6063 aluminum, so it will not rust, rot or need repainting.

Posts, hardware and installation

Gates hang on matching aluminum posts and columns, available as in-ground posts or surface-mount posts for concrete and pavers. Tell us whether each gate is going into soil or onto a slab so we can supply the right posts. If you plan to automate a sliding or swing gate later, mention it when you request a quote so our team can help you plan for it. Installation is available through our licensed installation partner.

How to measure a gate opening

  1. Measure the clear width of the opening between where the posts will stand, at the top and at the bottom.
  2. Note the height you want and check your city or HOA limit for front and side yards.
  3. For a driveway, measure the space beside the opening for a sliding gate to travel into, and check how much the drive slopes for a swing gate.
  4. Take a few photos of the opening from the street and from inside the yard.

Send those to us with a quote request, or bring them to the Panorama City showroom, where you can open and close the gates in person.

Aluminum gate questions

What sizes do your aluminum gates come in?

Lumina aluminum gates come in three sizes: 4 x 6 ft pedestrian gates, 8 x 6 ft double swing gates and 16 x 6 ft sliding gates, each in all five fence series.

Can I match a gate to my aluminum fence?

Yes. Each gate is built from the same profiles as its fence series, so the slat width, spacing and finish carry straight through from the fence panels to the gate.

Should I choose a sliding or swing gate for my driveway?

A sliding gate suits driveways with a slope or no room for a gate to swing, as long as there is clear space beside the opening. A double swing gate suits a wide, flat apron without space along the fence line.

Do aluminum gates rust?

No. Lumina gates are made from T6063 aluminum with a powder coat finish, so they will not rust, rot or need repainting, and they are backed by a 25-year limited warranty against rust and discoloration.

What colors are available?

Matte black is the signature finish and the most popular choice for modern homes. White is available on select styles.

Do you install aluminum gates?

Installation is available through our licensed installation partner. Request a quote with your measurements and photos of the opening and our team will take it from there.
