Abstract

A kit for converting a standard swing-type gate into a rolling cantilever-type gate. The kit consists of commercially available roller assemblies and guide roller assemblies with associated attaching hardware and a unique top-rail extrusion. The top-rail extrusion is constructed in one piece with a flat ribbed side face having shoulders. Said shoulders either bolt directly to the gate in a horizontal orientation or attach to the gate horizontally with contoured brackets selected to fit the gate's structural members. One side of the top-rail extrusion is provided with a longitudinal compartment having a downward facing opening along its length. The compartment serves as a trackway for upper roller assemblies which are secured to support posts. Said upper roller assemblies access the compartment by way of the downward facing opening and support the gate. Bottom guide roller assemblies also attach to the support posts and are positioned with at least one wheel of each guide roller assembly on each side of the gate's bottom gate rail.
