DuraGates offers solutions for small, medium, large, and very large sliding gates along with the accessories to
match each system. Some accessories match the track and carriage while others are determined by the gate
itself. So, here is some guidance about which accessories to quote for each gate job. We break them down
into groups: Track specific, gate frame specific, and gate application dependent accessories.
There are 6 different models of galvanized steel hardware, but only 4 different “physical sizes”. The
dimensions of the hardware are determined by the M, P, G, and XL designations in the part numbers.

GETTING THE ACCESSORIES RIGHT
Track specific accessories
These accessories always match up with the carriage and track size.
Carriage
Track
End Wheel
End Cup
For these parts, the last letter of the part number will always be the same as the track. M, P, G, and XL.
Foundation Plates - The foundation plates fit two sizes of carriages.
CG-05G fits both the G and the XL carriages
CG-05P fits both the P and the M carriages (for both steel and aluminum)
NOTE: The M carriages have 4 mounting holes, and the P carriages have 6, so the M carriage is installed “offset”
with the bolts in the center holes and one side end holes.

Gate frame specific accessories
The Gate Receiver always matches the frame size and “over the top”style Top Guides must match the frame size.

The U-channel monorail and side rollers are independent of the size of the gate frame, but are used for gates with
arched tops, through pickets, or other top of gate obstructions.
Side Rollers
• Guide post on both sides of gate
• Requires smooth surface on both sides
• Arched top gates (match the arch height)
• Picket top gates

Adjustable mounting brackets
The size of the mounting bracket depends on which accessory is to be used with.
The CG-15 adjustable mounting bracket is used for both the CG-30 Gate Receiver and the CGS-346 End Cup. Since
the gate receiver is sized for the gate frame and the end cup is sized for the track size, they are often different sizes.
• CG-15M ➔ CG-30M and CGS-346M
• CG-15P ➔ CG-30P and CGS-346P
• CG-15G ➔ CG-30G and CGS-346G
For example, many configurations for the CGS-350.8P will have 1 each CGS-346P End Cup to catch the track and 1
each CG-30M Gate Receiver to catch the gate. So, you will need to quote:
• 1 ea CG-15P to match the CGS-346P End Cup
• 1 each CG-15M to match the CG-30M Gate Receiver

GETTING THE ACCESSORIES RIGHT
Application dependent accessories
Double Gates
• Typically, do not use a CG-30 Gate Receiver. Automated gates can NOT use the receiver because of UL325
safety rules
• The CGI-40-2IN Tension Bar Adaptor (turnbuckle) installed
in each leaf will make adjusting the gate much easier
• Only one End Cup per leaf
Long Gates
• Gates longer than 26 Ft should have two (2) Top Guide assemblies to make the gate more stable under wind
load conditions
