C Channel Section with Nylon Block

c channel and nylon block

The C channel with Nylon Block is fitted to a support post behind the gate on the inside. On the back of the gate the supplied Z section slides through the nylon block. This totally removes the need for rollers operating on an uneven surface such as vertical cladding or any protrusions that may be above the gate frame such as spears.

The C channel and nylon block also works well for gates on a grade where the guide system must follow UP/DOWN during the gates operation, Suitable for gates where there is overhead protrusions such as spears, suitable for gates with face mounted cladding to the frame.

The C channel is available in both Steel (with top cap) and Aluminum and the Nylon block is available in both white and black colour options.

34mm Mounting face with 6mm pre punched holes for fixing every 300mm
Total offset of 42mm from gate back face to the back of the angle

Gate Catcher/Receiver Meeting Point

Multiple options available to choose from based on the gates total thickness including and cladding material if applicable. It is recommended to use a gate catcher that is 10mm greater than the gate thickness.

50mm Catcher Option

50mm gate catcher with Anti-Lift top cap

50mm Catcher is used with gates not exceeding 40mm (typically 40×40 tubing gates)

60mm Catcher Option (with Anti-Lift Top Cap)

60mm gate catcher with Anti-Lift top cap

60mm Catcher is used with gates not exceeding 50mm (typically 50×50 tubing gates). It has a top cap to prevent the gate from being lifted when in the closed position.

80mm Catcher Option (with Anti-Lift Top Cap)

80mm gate catcher with Anti-Lift top cap

80mm Catcher is used with gates not exceeding 70mm (typically externally face cladded gates). It has a top cap to prevent the gate from being lifted when in the closed position.

55-90mm Adjustable Catcher Option

55-90mm adjustable gate catcher

55-90mm Adjustable entry catcher, suitable for gates from 40mm to 80mm total thickness requiring a roller entry point due to wind loading or otherwise). Highly effective option for cladded gates prone to wind loading.

55-90mm Adjustable Catcher Option + OFFSET bracket

55-90mm adjustable gate catcher with Anti-Lift top cap and adjustable offset bracket
55-90mm Adjustable entry catcher, suitable for gates from 40mm to 80mm total thickness requiring a roller entry point due to wind loading or otherwise). Highly effective option for cladded gates prone to wind loading. The key additional feature of this catcher is the ability to adjust its alignment with the offset bracket making it perfect for when the posts side face does not align with the gate.

Sliding Gate Wheel Options

Internal Recess/Flush Mount Wheels

Sliding gate internal recess bearing wheel

Internal bearing wheels allow the gate wheels to be recessed into the bottom of the gate frame (minimum height 75mm tubing), they keep the gate close to the ground track system (normally within 20mm) and provide the neatest aesthetic. The small pocket cut into the bottom of the gate is not greater than the 70mm wheel diameter and allows the flange points to meet with the tubing on either side and screw into place.

External Surface Mount Wheels

The easiest to install, these bearing wheels screw directly to the bottom of the gate tubing without any need for cutting, the external surface mounting wheels typically raise the gate 90mm from the ground track system.

Sliding Gate Ground/Floor Track

The sliding gate ground track is formed from galvanized steel to the R10 profile, this profile is proven to be the smoothest operation for the gate wheels without any negative characteristics like the older v groove designs.

The track is secured to the driveway using plugs and screws or knock in’s such as anchor nails, its important to use a fixing that does not protrude greater than 3-4mm to prevent contact with the gate wheels.

Gate Stopper

Sliding gate stop

The gate stopper is a crucial part to any sliding gate installation, the stop is installed at the end of the open position to prevent the gate from being opened past the normal open point which prevents the sliding gate from coming off the track (or out of the top guiding system.
