Aluminum Sliding Gates

An aluminum sliding gate operates horizontally along a track or rack, making it ideal for properties where you want to avoid encroaching on public pathways or extending into your own yard. Unlike a swing gate, you can park your vehicle right in front of the gate, whether it’s opening or closing.

Our tip: choose an aluminum fence to create a cohesive look for your yard. We also offer matching aluminum pedestrian gates so your property is secure and requires minimal maintenance, all at a reasonable cost.

When it comes to cost, an aluminum gate is a long-term investment. As mentioned, prices typically range from 900 to 2,000 euros. This type of gate is built to last for years. Manufactured in Europe and backed by a 10-year guarantee, your investment will pay off over time.

How to choose your aluminum sliding gate?

Select a gate that fits your needs. Want more privacy? Opt for a solid infill gate. We also offer several models that allow some visibility into your yard for a more decorative and unique appearance.

The size of your aluminum sliding gate is important. Our standard width is 3.50 m, which fits most driveways. Be sure to measure the required horizontal clearance—this should be slightly wider than your gate. For example, a 4m sliding gate needs a 4.5m clearance.
Height matters too! We offer various heights from 1.40 m to 1.70 m, depending on your pillar height.

Did you know? All our gates are reversible. You can choose to have your motorized aluminum sliding gate open to the left or right, so the opening direction is never an issue.

Why choose an aluminum sliding gate?

The main advantage of an aluminum sliding gate is its adaptability. It’s ideal for sloped or narrow lots. You’ll find a wide range of designs: solid, semi-open, or openwork panels. Unlike wrought iron gates, aluminum sliding gates require very little maintenance.

Cleaning is simple—just use warm water and mild soap as needed. Another benefit: an aluminum sliding gate can open up to 180°, so you can easily drive through, even with a large SUV.

For a seamless and stylish look, our experts recommend pairing your gate with an aluminum fence. While we don’t offer sliding gates with integrated pedestrian gates, you’ll find matching aluminum gates to complete your project.

What types of aluminum sliding gates are available?

Districlos offers a wide selection of sliding gates. All models come in anthracite gray for a modern, elegant touch. Choose from solid, openwork, or semi-openwork slats.

Solid infill gates are popular for privacy and are available in models like Nice, Paris, and Bordeaux.

For openwork designs, check out Lille, Lyon, and Valence. These gates feature spaced bars for light and visibility, often chosen for their unique look and for properties set back from the street.
The Toulouse model offers a balance, with small symmetrical openings that let in some sunlight while maintaining privacy.

How to install an aluminum sliding gate?

For installation—motorized or manual—we recommend hiring a professional to ensure all safety standards are met. If you prefer to install it yourself, some DIY experience is helpful.

Each gate comes with installation instructions on the Districlos website. Double-check your measurements and the contents of your order. Your aluminum sliding gate includes all necessary hardware: locks, receiver plate, roller, door stop, track or rack, and more.

What are the regulations for installing an aluminum sliding gate?

Legally, a gate is considered part of your fence, so no building permit is usually required. However, we strongly recommend checking with your local city hall or zoning office to ensure your gate complies with local regulations. Some designs may be subject to restrictions.
