Gate Fitted into Tight Space

This small opening, literally between two hard places/walls, is secured by a beautiful designer aluminum gate. To keep the opening as large as possible, one of the posts has been hidden behind the wall, and the other has been completely eliminated. The lock strike is now received by a cup installed in the wall, rather than a receiving post. The gate panel can now swing completely out of the opening, and the maximum walk-through space is retained. See all the different gate choices from Japan.

In the 1960s, the manufacturers Sankyo and Tateyama, both aluminum companies, began producing aluminum products. Over many decades, various high-tech aluminum systems were developed. In 2012, the two companies merged to create STP - Sankyo Tateyama Inc.

Today, STP produces the most beautiful aluminum outdoor gates and fences available on the planet. Because space is very limited in Japan, many collapsible gates for driveways have been developed. There are folding and accordion gates available in various styles and colors.

Made from extruded aluminum profiles, a Japanese garden gate will arrive as a DIY gate kit. KunkelWorks USA will ensure that the right items are ordered to address the specific conditions of your site. As in the example above, space might be tight, and using the standard post setup might not be the best solution.

Before ordering, we will determine all important issues, such as the direction of swing, hinge side, gate panel size and combination, and specific site conditions, such as sloped ground.

There are also many choices when it comes to the locking mechanism. All Japanese aluminum outdoor gates will come with a pre-fabricated lock and key, and you will have a choice of several handle options. These include the traditional lever handle and the popular Japanese push-pull handles. This link will show you the details of the MCE Garden Gates, and the handles available on this system.
