Product Overview
The R4KGATE bracket is the gate-side mounting bracket used in the operator arm mounting hardware group on select GTO, GTO PRO, and Linear Pro swing gate openers. In a typical pull-to-open installation, the gate bracket attaches to the gate leaf and gives the actuator arm a secure connection point as the gate opens and closes. A worn, bent, or incorrectly matched gate bracket can change the arm geometry, create binding, shorten the usable stroke, or cause the operator to hit its limits before the gate reaches the proper open or closed position. This part is normally ordered when the original bracket is damaged, misplaced during a gate repair, or being replaced as part of a larger bracket refresh. It should be matched to the original bracket style and operator series, especially on older XL and XLS systems where post, pivot, gate, stop, and push-to-open brackets are not all interchangeable.
Compatible With
- Select GTO / Linear Pro 2000XL and 2000XLS swing gate operator bracket applications when the original parts diagram calls for R4KGATE
- Select GTO / Linear Pro 3000XL, 3000XLS, 3200XL and 3200XLS swing gate operator bracket applications when confirmed by the bracket layout
- Select GTO / Linear Pro 4000XL, 4000XLS, 4200XL and 4200XLS heavy-duty swing gate operator bracket applications
- Commonly associated with GTO SW4000XL, SW4000XLS, SW4200XL and SW4200XLS replacement bracket groups
- May be used with HB4000 or HBP4XL bracket-set service applications when the gate bracket alone is required
- Verify against the existing gate-side bracket, hole pattern, bracket geometry, and operator installation manual before ordering

Technician Note
Bracket fitment depends on arm geometry as much as model number. If the arm is binding or the gate stops short after bracket replacement, recheck the bracket spacing, closed position, limit setup, and gate swing before assuming the operator has failed.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Match the part number R4KGATE to the original parts diagram when possible
- Confirm the operator family: 2000XL/XLS, 3000XL/XLS, 4000XL/XLS, or 4200XL/XLS
- Compare the old bracket shape, mounting holes, and gate-side location
- Do not substitute this for R4KPOST, R4KPIVOT, R4KSTOP, H401P, or HBP4XL unless the parts diagram supports it
- Inspect the gate for sag, hinge wear, and bracket stress before installing a new bracket
Professional Advisory
Gate operator brackets are part of the mechanical geometry of the opener. If the gate is heavy, out of level, wind-loaded, or difficult to move by hand, correct the gate condition before putting a new bracket or actuator back into service.
Important Ordering Warnings
- Two original rows in this batch use the same R4KGATE part number; keep both only if both catalog IDs are intentionally needed in Shift4Shop.
- Push-to-open installations may require a different bracket arrangement than standard pull-to-open installations.
Product Questions and Answers
Is R4KGATE the full bracket kit?
No. R4KGATE is the gate-side bracket only. It should not be treated as the same item as a full bracket kit such as HBP4XL or HB4000.
Which operator series commonly use this gate bracket?
It is commonly associated with select GTO and Linear Pro 2000XL, 3000XL, 4000XL, SW4000XL and SW4200XL style swing gate operators when the parts diagram calls for R4KGATE.
Can I use this bracket in place of the post bracket?
No. The post bracket and gate bracket perform different jobs and have different mounting positions. Match the original bracket location before ordering.
Why does bracket geometry matter on a swing gate opener?
The bracket spacing controls the actuator travel and leverage. A wrong bracket or wrong mounting point can cause binding, poor limit travel, or overload symptoms.
Should I replace only the bracket or the whole bracket set?
Replace only the damaged bracket if the other pieces are correct and in good condition. If several pieces are bent, missing, or mismatched, a complete bracket set may be the better repair.
