ROGENILAN manufactures aluminum sliding gates and driveway gates in Foshan, China. The product line covers 3.0-8.0 m opening widths, manual and automated configurations, and powder-coated, PVDF, wood-grain, or anodized finishes. This page lists production parameters, pricing tiers, certifications, and procurement data used by importers, contractors, and developers sourcing metal gate designs from China.
## Diseos de Portones de Metal – Aluminum Gate Manufacturing in China
### Production Process for Aluminum Sliding Gates
The standard production sequence for an aluminum sliding gate includes six steps with measured tolerances. Each step has an inspection point against the parameters listed below.
Alloy 6063-T5 is used for infill louvers and frame profiles; 6063-T6 is used for track sections and load-bearing uprights where higher yield strength (>=215 MPa) is required. For coastal projects, an optional chromium-free conversion coating (thickness 0.6-1.2 microm) is applied before powder coating to improve salt-spray resistance.
### Aluminum Alloy Grades and Wall Thickness
Gate profiles are extruded from 6000-series aluminum. The table below lists the grades stocked for metal gate production in China.
Main frame wall thickness is 1.8 mm for gates <=4 m wide and 2.0 mm for gates 4-8 m wide. Infill louver wall thickness is 1.2 mm for fixed panels and 1.4 mm for motorized gates subject to vibration. ## Sliding Gate Specs - Track, Motor, and Panel Configurations ### Sliding Gate Track Systems and Load Capacity A bottom-track cantilever sliding gate uses a steel track (typically 3.0-4.0 mm wall, ASTM A36 or equivalent) anchored to a concrete foundation. The cantilever configuration removes the need for a floor groove across the driveway opening.
Top guide rollers (nylon PA66 or POM) pair with the bottom track to keep the leaf plumb. Roller spacing on the bottom track is 800-1000 mm for gates <=4 m and 600-800 mm for gates >4 m.
### Motor and Automation Options
Italian and Chinese motor options are offered. Motors are matched to leaf weight and duty cycle.
All automated gates include a remote control (433.92 MHz, rolling code), magnetic limit switches, infrared photocell safety sensors, and a manual release key. Optional 24 V DC backup battery supports 30 cycles during a 24-hour power outage.
## Driveway Gate Pricing and Material Comparison
### Price Table by Material and Finish
The price ranges below are ex-works USD per running meter (leaf only, excluding motor and foundation works). Prices are valid for MOQ 10 sets and reflect standard specifications.
The motorized configurations above include motor, track, roller set, remote, photocell, and limit switches. Foundation reinforcement (cage rebar, anchor bolts, and 200 mm concrete pad) is supplied as a kit for the site contractor.
### Cost Breakdown by Project Size
Project cost varies with order size. A 10-set order and a 100-set order for the same 4.5 m motorized louvered gate show a 22% price difference.
Surface setup covers powder-coat color change and PVDF booth cleaning. Tooling amortization covers extrusion die cost (USD 1,200-1,800 per cross-section) spread across the order quantity.
## Modern Sliding Gate Designs for Homes – Configurations and Clearances
### Standard Dimensions and Opening Clearances
Residential projects in China typically specify gates with a 3.5-5.0 m clear opening to accommodate one or two vehicle lanes. The tail (counterweight extension) is 40-50% of the opening width.
Concrete foundation dimensions for the track are 600 x 600 x 800 mm (deep), with 4 x M16 anchor bolts. For cantilever gates, the foundation is on the closed side of the opening only.
### Design Options and Surface Treatments
Infill patterns commonly specified for residential metal gate designs in China:
– Vertical louver – 90 mm pitch, 25 x 25 mm tube, 1.2 mm wall
– Horizontal louver – 150 mm pitch, 30 x 60 mm tube, 1.4 mm wall
– Diagonal lattice – 45 degrees, 100 mm pitch, 20 x 20 mm tube
– Solid panel – 3 mm aluminum sheet, ribbed for stiffness at 600 mm pitch
– Mixed glass and louver – 8 mm tempered glass + 25 mm vertical louver

## Aluminum Sliding Gate – Technical Performance Data
### Wind Load, Anti-Corrosion, and Certifications
Performance data based on third-party testing at SGS and Intertek facilities in Guangzhou:
Certifications maintained for metal gate designs manufactured in China:
– **CE marking** under EN 13241-1 (industrial, commercial, and garage doors and gates)
– **NFRC** component certification for the glass infill variant when used in a building envelope
– **AAMA 2604** voluntary specification for high-performance organic coatings on aluminum
– **ISO 9001:2015** quality management system
– **Miami-Dade NOA** for hurricane-zone projects – passed large-missile impact test TAS 201, cyclic load TAS 203, and air infiltration TAS 201
– **Warringtonfire** for the intumescent-coated fire-rated variant (60 min, E60)

### Packaging and Container Loading
Packaging: EPE foam corners, 0.08 mm PE shrink wrap, 12 mm plywood crate for high-spec orders. Each package carries a barcode label with project number, PO number, and packing list.
Project reference – a residential complex in Foshan, China used 84 sets of 4.5 m motorized vertical-louvered gates (6063-T6, 2.0 mm, PVDF) at a delivered cost of USD 612 per set including motor and foundation kit. Total delivered material cost: USD 51,408. The same order placed as a 10-set sample run would have been USD 845 per set, a 27% premium.
Project reference – a developer in Panama specified 36 sets of 6.0 m motorized gates with Miami-Dade NOA. Total weight per gate: 720 kg. Foundation cage supplied as welded rebar (grade 60, 4 x 16 mm dia main, 8 mm dia links at 200 mm pitch) anchored with 4 x M16 chemical anchors. Delivered cost: USD 1,250 per set, FOB Shenzhen.
