Fence Gates, Gate Frames, Locks, and Hardware for Modular Fence Projects

Yes, Modern Yard supplies the gate, gate frame, lock, and hardware as one matched package built into the same modular fence system. The thing worth checking is whether the frame, hinges, and lock are engineered as one set. With Modern Yard they are, so the gate frame arrives pre-drilled for the lock and takes the same infill as the fence, which removes the compatibility problems that usually start at the gate.
What's in a Modern Yard gate and hardware package?
Most fencing brands treat the gate as an accessory. You buy the fence from one supplier, then sort out the gate hardware separately, and that's where most fitment problems begin. Modern Yard designs the gate, post, lock, and infill as one system. Most fencing brands sell components. Modern Yard delivers a complete system.
Here's the gate package at a glance.
Aluminum gate frame. Fully welded, pre-drilled for the lock, takes the same infill as the fence run.
Aluminum hinges. Packaged with the gate frame and installed on-site.
myLock-Combination. Battery-free 304 stainless steel sequential lock, 665,000 combinations, 25-year limited warranty.
Matching infill. Composite, steel, or aluminum panels from the same system.
Latches and fasteners. Sized to the frame and post platform.
Modern Yard is a modular fence and gate system platform built for professional contractors, fence dealers, and lumber yards across the United States, distributed through national and regional partners including Master Halco, BMD, and Golden State Lumber.
What does the gate, frame, lock, and hardware kit include?

This is the core of the cluster, so here's the full breakdown of what ships and what doesn't.
The gate frame. The frame is aluminum, not steel, and fully welded for a rigid structure that holds alignment. It comes pre-drilled for the lock, so there's no on-site drilling. The frame accepts the same infill material as the fence, so a composite run gets a composite gate and an aluminum run gets an aluminum gate, with no visual mismatch. Modern Yard offers matched frame sizes, including the products catalog listing of gate frames alongside posts, rails, and accessories.
The hinges. The hinges are aluminum and ship in the same SKU as the gate frame. They're installed on-site rather than pre-installed, which keeps the frame flat-packed and lets the crew set swing direction during the hang.
The lock. The myLock-Combination is the part that does the most to set this kit apart. Its Universal Fit design works on both left-hand and right-hand gates without swapping parts or buying a different version, which most outdoor locks can't do. It uses sequential code entry, so the digits have to be entered in the correct order, a stronger logic than the any-order entry on standard mechanical locks. It's battery-free, built from 304 stainless steel with a brushed finish, offers 665,000 combinations, weighs 3.27 lbs, and carries a 25-year limited warranty. It's engineered for Modern Yard frames from 1-1/4" to 1-7/8" thick, and because the frame is pre-drilled, it mounts without field drilling. Full specs are on the myLock-Combination product page.
Use this to confirm a gate kit is actually complete and matched.
Component | Included in the kit? | What to verify (spec) |
Gate frame | Yes | Aluminum, welded, pre-drilled for the lock |
Hinges | Yes | Aluminum, same SKU as the frame, field-installed |
Lock | Yes | Fits 1-1/4" to 1-7/8", 665,000 combinations |
Infill | Yes, from the system | Composite, steel, or aluminum to match the fence |
Latches and fasteners | Yes | Sized to the frame and post |
Gate post | Ordered separately | Matched to the fence system post platform |
A gate kit is not the same as a complete gate system. A gate kit often includes only the frame and basic hardware. A complete gate system means the frame, hinges, lock, and infill share one compatibility and warranty structure, with a matched post from the same platform.
Which gate setups does this kit fit best?

The matched kit earns its value where access and durability both matter.
Side-yard and trash-area gates. Battery-free sequential entry means no electronics to maintain on a gate you open daily.
Pool and family-access gates. The Universal Fit lock works on either swing direction, and the welded aluminum frame holds alignment over time.
Fire-zone gates. Pair the gate with the FireGuard Series, which is fire-resistant, tested to ASTM E84 Class A, and listed on the California Fire Safe Council Vendor List for WUI and fire zone projects.
Coastal gates. The 304 stainless lock resists rain, sun, and corrosion for long-term outdoor use.
How do you confirm and order the gate package?
Match the kit to your fence before ordering. The installation guides page carries gate-frame videos and downloadable manuals so you can verify hinge mounting and lock fitment, and the warranty information page documents the 25-year limited warranty covering the lock and system.
Match the gate to the fence, then order the kit
Pick the gate frame in the same material and platform as your fence run, confirm the lock fits your frame thickness, and check that the hinges and latches ship with the frame. If the frame is already pre-drilled for the lock and takes the same infill as the fence, the gate stops being the hard part of the project. Pull the gate-frame guide for your size and order through an authorized dealer.
