Side-Fix Adjustable Roller Gate Stop for 73 to 103mm Box Section, Zinc Plated

A side-fix gate stop for gates framed in 73 to 103mm box section. Most roller stops bolt down through their base plate. This one fixes through a side bracket, so it goes on the face of a post where there is no end or top to bolt into. The long slotted top plate carries a pair of white rollers and a centre buffer, and the rollers slide along the slot to suit the section. It measures 245mm across and is heavier built than our bolt-down stops. The price shown is for one stop, with a minimum order of 3.

Why this stop works

It fixes where the others cannot. A stop that needs the end of a post is no help on a tall post or a wall. This one uses a side-fix bracket with 11 x 17mm slots at 35 x 55mm centres, so it goes straight onto the post face.

Slots at the fixing and the rollers. Both the bracket and the top plate are slotted, so you can get the stop lined up with the gate after it has been drilled, instead of having to get the holes perfect first time.

A wider body for a heavier gate line. At 245mm across, the stop spreads the rollers out, and the heavier build shows in the weight of over 3kg. It gives a firmer location at the closing point.

The rollers save the paintwork. The white rollers take the rubbing on the frame instead of bare steel, and the centre buffer takes the impact at the end of the travel.

Where it is used

Sliding and cantilever gates where the closing post has no suitable top or end fixing, such as tall posts, wall returns and gate frames that close against the side of a pillar or stanchion, and any similar gate with a frame section in the 73 to 103mm range. Gate weight limits are not published for this stop, so it does not replace a proper end stop on a powered or heavy gate.

Specifications

Choosing the right stop

This stop is for a gate frame of 73mm to 103mm. Its key difference from our other adjustable stops is the fixing. Choose this one when you need to fix through the side of a post. If you can bolt through a base plate, the two bolt-down stops are smaller, lighter and cost less, and their ranges cover 40 to 80mm and 80 to 150mm.

Fitting and care

Hold the bracket against the face of the post at the height where the gate will meet it. Fix through the 11 x 17mm slots with bolts or anchors to suit the post, and leave them just nipped so you can adjust. Bring the gate up, set the rollers along the top plate so the frame runs between them with a small clearance, and tighten everything up once the gate meets the buffer squarely. Fixings are not listed as included, so allow for them when you order.

Check the bolts and roller fixings at routine inspections. A seized or flat roller will mark the frame, so replace the stop if a roller stops turning.
