What does the sliding gate catcher do?

It provides a protected receiving point for the leading edge of a sliding gate when the gate reaches the fully closed position.

What is the catcher made from?

The catcher is fabricated from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with an exterior-grade powder coating.

What gate thickness will it accept?

The opening is designed to receive sliding gates up to 2″ thick. Confirm the finished gate thickness and required clearance before ordering.

Can it be used with an automatic sliding gate?

Yes, when properly positioned with the operator limits, gate stops, and clearances. The catcher is a receiving component and does not replace the operator’s required safety devices or mechanical stops.

Which colors are available?

Choose Black, Bronze, White, Dark Grey, or Light Gray.

Is the protective foam included?

Yes. One 1/4″ self-adhesive foam liner is included with the catcher.

Why is foam installed inside the catcher?

The foam cushions contact and helps protect the gate’s powder-coated finish from direct metal contact and scratching.

Which foam color comes with each finish?

Black, Bronze, and Dark Gray catchers include black foam. White and Light Gray catchers include white foam.

When should I install the foam?

Mount and align the aluminum catcher first. Clean and dry the inside contact surface, then apply the foam after the catcher is secure and the gate has been test-fitted.

Where can the catcher be mounted?

It can mount to a dedicated end post, concrete column, masonry surface, or another structurally suitable surface.

Are mounting screws or anchors included?

No. Choose screws, bolts, or anchors appropriate for the mounting material, gate system, and expected loads.

How should the catcher be positioned?

Place it at the fully closed position so the gate enters the U-shaped opening squarely without binding, rubbing excessively, or placing side load on the gate.

What should be tested after installation?

Cycle the gate through its complete travel and verify smooth entry into the catcher, foam contact, clearances, fastener tightness, mechanical stops, and operator limits.

What maintenance is recommended?

Periodically inspect the catcher, fasteners, foam adhesion, foam wear, gate alignment, and finish. Replace worn foam and correct loose or damaged components before operating the gate.
