National Mfg N192-217 Zinc Gate Caster 125 Lb Swl

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N192-217 is a zinc gate caster designed to support the smooth opening and closing of gates in residential and light commercial applications. The unit features a spring-loaded mechanism that absorbs shock when rolling over uneven surfaces, reducing stress on the gate frame and hardware. The caster body is metal construction with a rubber wheel, providing durability underfoot while protecting surfaces. Fasteners are included. Safe working load is rated at 125 pounds per caster, making it suitable for standard single- and double-panel gate installations.

This gate caster is used on swinging or rolling gates where ground-level support is needed to prevent sagging and binding. It is well suited for wood or metal fence gates in residential yards, commercial enclosures, and pool areas. The spring-loaded design makes it particularly useful where the ground surface is uneven, gravel-covered, or subject to settling. Installation is straightforward for fence contractors, general contractors, and experienced DIYers handling gate hardware work.

Installation Notes

Gate casters are typically installed by fence contractors or general contractors using basic hand tools. Before installation, confirm the gate post and frame are plumb and structurally sound. Fasten the caster to the gate bottom rail using the included hardware, ensuring the wheel contacts the ground evenly to support the gate load. Verify the safe working load of 125 pounds is not exceeded by the gate weight.
