Adjustable Roller Gate Stop for 40 to 80mm Box Section, Zinc Plated, Bolt-On

A bolt-on gate stop that catches and guides a 40 to 80mm box section frame at the end of its travel. A pressed zinc plated bracket carries two black rollers on flared arms, and the gate frame runs between the rollers until it meets a central buffer. The bracket has a toothed slotted base, so you can set the width to suit the section instead of ordering a different stop for each gate. It bolts down through four 5.5mm holes. It suits box sections from 40mm up to 80mm. The price shown is for one stop, with a minimum order of 5.

Why this stop works

The frame is guided in, not knocked in. The flared arms give a wide mouth. A gate that has dropped or drifted a little still finds the stop and is pulled into line by the two rollers as it closes.

Width adjustment built in. The base slides on a serrated plate, so the same stop can be set to any section between 40mm and 80mm, and it locks where you put it.

Rollers take the rubbing. The frame rolls past rather than scraping on bare steel, which protects the finish on a painted or galvanised gate.

A buffer stops it. The black buffer in the centre takes the impact at the end of the travel, which is kinder to the gate and quieter than steel on steel.

Where it is used

Sliding and cantilever gates in light steel box section, where the leaf needs catching and centring at the closed end. Typical sites are commercial yards, car parks and small industrial units. It also suits similar gates elsewhere, so long as the frame fits the section range. Gate weight limits are not published for this stop, so it is meant for light gates, and it is not a substitute for a proper end stop on a heavy leaf.

Specifications

Choosing the right size

Measure the width of the frame section the stop will catch. This stop is for 40 to 80mm box section, the narrowest of our adjustable roller stops. For wider sections go to the 80 to 150mm stop. If you only need a simple end stop that the gate hits, a bolt-down or weld-on plate stop may be enough, and it costs less.

Fitting and care

Bolt the base to the post or foundation through the four 5.5mm holes, with the rollers facing the gate. Slacken the adjustment, set the arms so the frame runs between the rollers with a small clearance, and tighten up on the serrated plate. Run the gate in and out to check it finds the stop cleanly and meets the buffer squarely. Keep the mouth open enough that the gate cannot jam.

Check the bolts and the rollers at routine inspections, and replace the stop if a roller seizes or the buffer is worn through. A little grease on the roller spindles will keep them running quietly.
