Choosing it for your gate

Larger gates load rollers harder, so check that your gate size and weight suit this roller. Check what kind of track and frame your gate has, and make sure posts and mounting surfaces are level and solid.

Installing

• Bolt the roller bracket to the frame or post at the planned spot.
• Line the roller up with the track and secure it.
• Run the gate fully open and closed.
• Adjust the position until contact is even and travel is smooth, with no binding or excess play.

Accurate alignment at this stage is what gives the roller a long life.
