Why would I choose a 6-inch guide roller instead of a 3-inch model?

A 6-inch guide roller provides greater contact height and improved lateral stability compared to smaller rollers. It is better suited for taller, heavier, or high-cycle sliding gates that require additional control and support along the gate frame.

What materials are used in this 6-inch guide roller?

The 6-inch guide roller typically uses commercial-grade EPDM non-mar rubber for the roller and a corrosion-resistant steel housing. These materials provide durability, weather resistance, and non-marking contact with the gate surface.

Can this 6-inch roller be used in a dual-roller configuration?

Yes. In some applications, the 6-inch shielded guide roller can be paired with a compatible mounting bracket to form a dual guide roller configuration. This arrangement provides additional stability and control for wide, tall, or heavy sliding gate panels.
