        Q:installing this gate caster on a sloping concrete walkway where the gate travels (clearance -1/4"...
        by|Jul 11, 2021
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  Hi Ernie, Our gate caster can handle up to 1-3/4" of vertical travel so it should work for your application. Position the gate where the vertical gap to the ground is highest and mount with some of compression on the spring to ensure good support throughout the travel path. More compression will naturally occur as the gap to the ground decreases, the important thing is to have some compression on the spring throughout the entire travel of the gate.

          These casters did the job of leveling my gate and allowing it to close without each gate bumping up against the other. It was a relatively simple and easy fix. My prep work included measuring the distance for mounting the spring brackets, with spring compressed (I used clamps to compress the spring). For my gate, I needed to cut two pieces of 2x4 about 6 inches in length to add to the frame of the gate so I could have a proper mounting surface. I drilled holes for the bolts using the spring bracket as a template and I used 3 inch hex bolts, lock washers, and nuts for a secure fit.

            It does the job. I used it for a long gate. FYI - It doesn't come with any bolts, lock nuts or washers which you will need to attach this to whatever you are attaching it to.

            Great wheel after modification!
            As others have mentioned, this wheel is not meant to be a structural component, at least not for larger/heavier gates. I used this product to fix my sagging wooden privacy fence gate by removing the cotter pin and spring and using large washers as shims to get the wheel and mounting bracket to my desired height. Luckily, the wheel rides on my driveway which is fairly level; otherwise, this would not have worked. I will likely be purchasing one more to fix another gate!

                It did the job. I used it on a wooden gate that was 6'. The gate was braced, however is still sagged. Post deflection, most likely. I used this on a grass surface. The support allowed for easier movement.
