Superior Outdoor Products 200 Series York Vinyl Railing Gates – 36" & 42" Heights, Multiple Widths & Colors
- York-style vinyl railing gates — These 200 Series gates use the same flat vinyl top rail, bottom rail, and 3/4" round aluminum balusters as York railing sections, so your gate openings blend seamlessly into the rest of your guardrail.
- 36" and 42" gate heights — Choose 36" high gates to match standard residential guardrails or 42" high gates where a taller rail is required by local code or desired for added security on elevated decks and balconies.
- Three gate widths for flexible layouts — Available in 36", 42", and 48" widths so you can accommodate typical walk-through openings, wider access points, or mobility-friendly egress where extra clearance is needed.
- Unassembled gate kits for easy transport and trimming — Each York gate kit ships unassembled and includes a top rail, bottom rail, two uprights, and matching York round balusters, making it easier to transport, store, and trim rails to a precise fit on site.
- Color options to match your railing — Gates are offered in core 200 Series colors — White, Almond, Clay, and Black — so you can match existing York railing sections or coordinate with your home’s trim and decking.
- Compatible with 200 Series posts and hardware — Designed to work with 4" vinyl newel posts and standard 200 Series mounting brackets; upright caps, hinges, latches, and gate braces are sold separately so you can choose the hardware that fits your project.
- Made in the USA from virgin vinyl — Manufactured in the USA using high-quality virgin vinyl with aluminum-reinforced rail profiles, the 200 Series “Professional Rail” is engineered for strength and low maintenance in residential and light commercial applications.
- Part of a code-evaluated railing system — The 200 Series Professional Rail has been evaluated for IBC/IRC guard applications under Intertek CCRR-0167 when installed per the report and manufacturer instructions, helping support code-focused deck and porch projects.
Superior Outdoor Products 200 Series York Vinyl Railing Gates give you a clean, modern gate solution that matches your York railing infill. Each unassembled kit includes a flat 200 Series vinyl top rail, rectangular bottom rail, two uprights, and 3/4" round aluminum balusters, creating a gate leaf that looks and feels like a continuation of the surrounding guard. With heights of 36" and 42" and widths of 36", 42", and 48" available in White, Almond, Clay, and Black, these gates make it easy to create secure, low-maintenance entry points on decks, porches, and balconies without sacrificing style.
Why Choose This Gate
- Seamless York style at openings — Using York gates at stair tops, deck entries, or pool-adjacent areas keeps your baluster pattern and rail profile consistent, instead of mixing in an off-the-shelf gate that doesn’t match.
- Flexible sizes for real-world access — Three width options cover typical residential openings and wider access points for outdoor furniture, grills, or equipment, while 36" and 42" heights align with common guardrail standards.
- Low maintenance vs. wood gates — Vinyl rails and powder-coated aluminum balusters won’t rot, splinter, or need repainting the way wood gates do, making them ideal for coastal, lakefront, and high-sun applications.
- Unassembled for easy customization — Because the gate ships as components, you can cut rails to fine-tune the width and assemble on site, which is especially helpful on remodels or tight deck layouts.
- Works with your preferred hardware — By selling hinges, latches, upright caps, and brace kits separately, you can pair the York gate frame with the exact hardware style and material you prefer.
- Part of a proven railing platform — As part of the 200 Series Professional Rail line, York gates complement a railing system that is aluminum-reinforced, code-evaluated, and backed by a strong manufacturer warranty.

Installation
Start by confirming your finished post-to-post gate opening and selecting the appropriate York gate width. Assemble or verify your structural posts and post mounts first, ensuring they are plumb, securely anchored, and set at the correct spacing for the gate hardware you plan to use. Cut the York gate rails to the proper width if necessary, following the manufacturer’s instructions, then install the 3/4" round aluminum balusters between the top and bottom rails and into the uprights to build the gate leaf. Attach your chosen hinges to the gate upright and the adjoining post, checking for proper swing clearance and alignment, then install your latch hardware at a comfortable operating height. Finally, add upright caps and any optional gate braces or stops recommended by the hinge/latch manufacturer, and test the gate for smooth operation and secure closure.
Buying Guide
- Match gate height to your railing — Choose 36" gates for 36" York rail runs and 42" gates for taller guards so the gate leaf lines up with adjacent top rails and meets local height requirements.
- Select the right width — 36" gates work well for standard walk-throughs, 42" gates offer extra clearance, and 48" gates are ideal for wider equipment or mobility access; always confirm your post-to-post opening and hinge/latch allowances before ordering.
- Coordinate colors — Pick White, Almond, Clay, or Black to match existing 200 Series railing or to complement your siding and deck boards for a cohesive look.
- Plan your hardware package — Remember that gate hinges, latches, and upright caps are sold separately; choose heavy-duty hardware rated for the gate size and intended use, especially on high-traffic or elevated decks.
- Verify structural support — Use properly anchored structural posts or metal post mounts under your vinyl sleeves at both hinge and latch sides to support the weight and movement of the gate.
- Check local codes — Before installation, review guard and gate requirements in your jurisdiction (height, latch placement, pool-specific rules) and coordinate with your inspector if the gate will be part of a code-regulated barrier.
