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 big as possible, one of the posts has been hidden behind the wall, and the other one has been completely eliminated. The lock strike is now received by a cup installed into the wall, instead of a receiving post. The gate panel can now completely swing out of the opening and the maximum walk-through space is retained.

In the 1960s, the manufacturers Sankyo and Tateyama, both aluminum Companies, started producing aluminum products. Over many decades various high-tech aluminum systems were developed. In 2012 the to 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 a lot of collapsible gates for driveways have been developed. There are folding gates and accordion gates available in various style and color.

Made from extruded aluminum profiles a Japanese garden gate will arrive as a DIY gate kit. KunkelWorks USA will make sure that the right items are ordered to address the specific conditions of your site. Like in the example above space might be tight and using the standard post-set-up might hot be the best solution.

Before ordering, we will figure out all important issues like direction of swing, hinge side, gate panel size and combination and specific site conditions like sloped ground etc..

There are also many choices when it comes to the locking mechanism. All Japanese aluminum outdoor gates will come with pre-fabricated lock and key and, you will have a choice of several handle options. There is 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.
