Asked by Mermista June 17, 2019It would be recommended to place this gate caster on the back side of the gate to swing inward. The entire depth of the plate is is 4-1/8 inches (or 3-1/2 inches from the edge of the plate to the center of the spring.) Apologies that we do not have a picture or diagram of the caster attached to a metal gate, we are in the process of gathering lifestyle images for all of our products.
What is the distance between mounting holes, and what diameter?
Asked by Kornylak June 5, 2019About 2 1/4” center to center and I’d guess 3/8”. I have 1/4” lag bolts holding mine in place.
should ball bearings be lubricated and if so what type
Asked by Robert February 22, 2019Im sure some grease on/in them would be good but in over a year I have not and see no way to do it.
What size lag bolts are required?
Asked by Erica July 23, 2018I don't know about Required per se, but it makes sense to me to use the largest that will fit your constraints. If you mean what is the smallest you can safely get away with, I suppose that answer would depend heavily on gate's weight, the level of use, the material being attached to, and the rolling surface.
