Troy Malmin from Malmin Construction in Santa Cruz, California, sent us some photos of the Alta gate handles in action!
The gates have stainless steel frames and posts. The two-sided wood-clad gates and fence are covered in 1×6 redwood with hidden fasteners. For a self-closing function they used a Dictator gate closer.
“Your gate hardware really added a classy touch and they function really well. I made my own strike/latch that we welded to the steel posts.”
Some things we love about this installation:
→ Hidden fasteners!
→ A beautiful trash enclosure – trash doesn’t have to be ugly!
→ The Dictator gate closer – love this product!

One feature that’s difficult to see in the photos is the gate stop. Gate stops are included in all of our packages – and for good reason! You can read more about them in this blog post (and parts 2 and 3), but in short, your latch-arm and catch are meant to latch the gate, not stop it; a gate stop will – and will protect your hardware from damage caused by a gate slamming shut (not to mention, keep your warranty valid).
