Selected User Reviews For Iron Forge Tools Gate Wheel with 360 Degree Swivel and Universal Mount - 4 Inch Spring Loaded Gate Caster for Wooden Gate or Metal Fence
As advertised, I purchased two gate wheels for a single gate The diameter is 3/8" up to 1-1/4" A 7/8-inch diameter was received, but it was actually a 1-inch diameter Gate frames are fit to fit openings between 5/8" and 2". U-shaped structure can be seen in the photograph Two inches is the size of the bolt. It would be possible to adapt these to fit, but they would not be ideal. Both U-I and U-II At least one of the bolts had a broken threaded end, and one had a bent threaded end, making both In addition, the diameter of the U will need to be measured As I have verified in previous purchases, the bolts are undersize for this size wheel assembly. As a plus, the packaging in which the items were shipped was excellent. Packing for trash that belongs in the first class.
You have to drill through your gate to install them due to the way the holes are shaped. Besides that, they are not very tall, perhaps less than a foot. In other words, if your gates are standard height off the ground, these will not The plates on them needed to be welded on so she could attach them to gates without causing any damage to them. However, they swivel nicely, and they appear to be It is a good deal for the price.
I chose this wheel for my sliding gate because it was the perfect fit. It is very difficult to open and close the gate with the last wheel I put on because it dragged across the ground. Having the gate open and close so easily has been a great improvement.
I would not really complain about anything. While wheels are probably great for rolling on stones or cement, they did not roll well and the metal is too thin to support a 8 ft wide wooden gate on soft or wet ground. There is a tendency by the wheels to pivot, so they drag. Gives up and cuts gate into two sections of 4 ft each. This gate wheel has been thrown The deck is under it. The situation is going to remain the same.
There was a nut on my gate wheel that wasn't threaded and I had to buy a U-bolt to attach it I cannot mount the bracket on the wheel base because it's the wrong size There will be a mismatch between the holes in the bracket and the holes in the base. My disappointment is great!.
In the end, we returned them because they weren't strong enough to support I am disappointed.
There were some bolts I had to bend to fit around the 2" gate tubing, but it's a nice gate wheel nonetheless. There is the option to install a larger wheel, and I enjoy that. It is a gate wheel I would recommend.
