Sliding Gates

Unlike a swing gate, a sliding gate opens horizontally. You don’t have to worry about your gate swinging out onto the street or into your yard—it's a real space saver!

At Districlos, you'll find a wide selection of aluminum sliding gates as well as barred gates to match any type of fence.

Choosing a sliding gate is a smart option: it offers enhanced security, comes in various designs, is discreet, and can be motorized. Did you know? You can match your aluminum sliding gate with an aluminum garden gate. We also offer aluminum fencing to create a cohesive look for your outdoor space.

How to choose your sliding gate?

Selecting a gate is an important step in planning your outdoor area. Your gate should be durable and add real value to your property.
Thanks to its unique opening mechanism, a sliding gate fits a wide range of properties. It's also easy (and recommended) to add a gate motor. A motorized sliding gate provides extra comfort and security.
When choosing your gate, simply measure the space between your posts. You can also opt for a sliding gate with an integrated pedestrian gate. At Districlos, we offer several aluminum garden gates and barred gates to coordinate with your main gate.

Why choose a sliding gate?

Convenience, security, style, and space-saving—these are just some of the reasons to choose a sliding gate for your home.

Sliding gates with motors take up very little space, letting you make the most of your yard. The gate leaf moves along a track or a rack system (to the right or left) along your fence or wall.

Sliding gates are also the best solution for sloped driveways. With an incline, a swing gate would open onto the street, which is not allowed in many areas.

These gates are easy to operate and require little effort. With a quality gate motor, you can stay in your vehicle and enter your property with ease. We offer rack-driven motors, ideal for sliding gates on tracks. This lateral movement is perfect for this type of gate. Adding a motor to your sliding gate is a long-term investment that brings comfort, security, and peace of mind.

What types of sliding gates are available?

There are several options for installing a sliding gate: track-mounted, cantilever, manual, or motorized opening.

At Districlos, we offer track-mounted sliding gates. Only the material and design vary.

Aluminum gates are a popular choice.

Aluminum is lightweight and modern, making it a favorite among homeowners. Its reinforced crossbar is designed for optimal motorization. Aluminum gates are highly durable, rust-resistant, and available in different styles—solid, openwork, or semi-openwork—so you can choose your preferred level of privacy.

We also offer heavy-duty barred sliding gates with anti-corrosion coating. Made from steel, these gates withstand all weather conditions. Like our aluminum gates, they come with a 10-year guarantee and are especially suitable for industrial sites. They can span up to 46 feet.

What installation system is needed for a sliding gate?

To install your sliding gate, make sure you have enough clearance and space for the gate to slide open. The clearance area should be the distance between the gate posts plus 20 inches.

You can install your sliding gate yourself. All necessary accessories are included for a complete package. However, installation can be technical. Feel free to contact our Districlos experts or professional installers for assistance.

What are the regulations for installing a sliding gate?

By law, a gate is considered an extension of your fence. The local zoning plan will guide you on installation requirements. In some areas, certain types of gates may be restricted. You can also check with your local city office for details.
