Hardware that holds the wheels on

Aluminum sliding gates travel on wheels riding a track. Heavy duty sliding frames run a C-wheel on C-track, and the boxed DIY sliding gates use two wheels on steel track. This bolt and washer set is the fastener used for those wheels. Order it when a bolt has gone missing, when you change a wheel, or to keep a few spares.

Servicing a sliding gate safely

Support the gate leaf before loosening any wheel hardware.
Replace worn or damaged bolts instead of reinstalling them.
Follow the included instructions for your gate.

Confirming fit

For an older or one-off gate, send Globus Gates the gate size, the wheel you use and, if possible, a picture showing how the wheel is mounted. That lets the team confirm both the fit and the quantity your gate needs.

"Globus Gates absolutely nailed it from start to finish. The craftsmanship is top-tier—clean welds, solid materials, and a finish that looks premium in person. Communication was fast and professional, timelines were clear, and the install was smooth and precise. You can tell they take pride in the details. If you want a gate that feels as good as it looks and a team that delivers what they promise, Globus Gates is the real deal."

"After getting a bid from a competing company, I contacted Globus Gates, originally to buy the products and do the installation myself. As a general contractor for over 40 years, this would have been a simple installation for me. While they were willing to sell me what I needed, they offered to come out and give me a free estimate to do the installation. Their bid was extremely reasonable and I went ahead and had them do the project. The gentleman who came out was knowledgeable, professional, and very easy to work with. My standards are high, bordering on OCD. Their work is virtually flawless. I was so impressed with the first job, I hired them to do a second larger installation. Again, their work was flawless. I cannot recommend them highly enough."

"I sent messages to several places to get a quote, and within 30 minutes Ronnie responded. Out of all the places I contacted, he was the only one that made the time to immediately come over and assess the problem in person. Once we worked out some details like what system I needed, and if we could reuse the wood from my existing gate, we settled on a more than fair price for all of the work included. Which by the way was far better than any of the other offers. Within the next day everything was done. Talk about fast!"

"Chris was amazing. He was very professional & guided us to get the perfect gates for our home. The installers were here when they said they would and worked diligently & efficiently. They cleaned up after themselves and left my property looking like no one was ever there. We are loving the product, the look, the company! Highly recommend!"
