GTO Positive Stop Plate Powder Coated Black, (4000XL(S), 3000XL(S))
In the field, a missing or damaged positive stop can show up as gate overtravel, gate leaves not meeting correctly, arm stress at the closed position, or a gate that moves after closing. The stop plate is a mechanical part of the installation geometry and should be used with the correct bracket layout and closed-position stop arrangement.

Technician Note
A positive stop is not optional on every installation. Many actuator systems rely on a properly placed stop so the gate closes firmly without overloading the arm. If the old stop plate is missing or damaged, check the gate leaves, hinges, and bracket geometry at the same time.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the operator family: 3000XL(S), 4000XL(S), or confirmed related model
- Check whether the installation manual requires a positive stop at the closed position
- Inspect the existing stop plate, brackets, hinges, and gate alignment
- For dual gates, confirm whether one or both leaves need stop hardware
- Do not order by color or appearance alone; match the part number and parts diagram
Professional Advisory
Positive stops help manage gate force and closed-position alignment. If a gate is slamming, flexing, or moving after it closes, have a qualified gate technician inspect the hinges, stops, operator limits, and obstruction settings.
Important Ordering Warnings
- R4KSTOP is not a universal stop plate for every GTO operator
- XL and XLS wording can be confusing; confirm the exact operator and arm generation
- A stop plate will not fix worn hinges or a sagging gate
- Do not rely on the opener arm alone to hold a heavy gate if the installation calls for a mechanical stop
Product Questions & Answers
What is the R4KSTOP used for?
R4KSTOP is a positive stop plate used to help stabilize select GTO / Linear swing gate installations at the closed position.
Which operators is R4KSTOP commonly associated with?
It is commonly associated with 3000XL(S) and 4000XL(S) applications, with service references also appearing for SW4000XLS/SW4200XLS and SW4000XL/SW4200XL.
Do I need a positive stop on both leaves of a dual gate?
Possibly. Dual gates must be evaluated by the installation layout. Each leaf may need its own proper closed-position stop arrangement.
Can this stop plate fix a gate that will not close straight?
It may help if the original stop plate is missing or damaged, but crooked closing can also come from sagging hinges, poor geometry, wind load, or operator adjustment issues.
Is this the same as a push-to-open bracket?
No. R4KSTOP is a positive stop plate. Push-to-open brackets such as 347IH or other PTO brackets change opener mounting geometry and are different parts.
