Small Pulley

These pulleys are excellent. I use expanding/contracting bars across my sliding glass doors. They adjust to the correct length and lock into place, keeping the doors from being opened. When I want to use the doors, I lift the bars up like a drawbridge. My doors are plastic, so I installed both halves—the pivot and the bracket—using Sugru instead of drilling. I wasn’t sure if it would work, but there’s no weight on either of those—they just hold the bar in place—and the Sugru has worked really well for about five years. The problem is usability. Raising and lowering them can be awkward—they can shift, change length slightly, or get wedged into the side of the door. If you’re shorter or reaching from an angle, it’s especially hard to guide the bar into place. I tried just tossing it up in an arc—that did not work well. These completely fixed that. For reference, my sliding door opens by moving from right to left. One pulley is mounted horizontally on the upper left-hand corner of the door frame (the stationary side). The other pulley is mounted vertically on the inside upper left-hand corner of the sliding door. If you need a visual, if you open the door fully, the two pulleys would run into each other at the upper left-hand corner of the frame. Because of that, you need to install the vertical pulley on the sliding glass door about two inches lower than the horizontal pulley mounted on the frame. The rope runs in a right triangle, with the 90-degree corner at the upper left. The bar pivots on the left-hand side and rests in the bracket on the right-hand side. The rope is attached to the bar at the bracket end (right side), runs on a diagonal up to the horizontal pulley on the door frame, then across to the vertical pulley on the door, and then back down to the bracket. I installed a ring at that end to make it easier to pull, and I can hang the ring on the bracket when I’ve pulled the bar up so it’s not hanging on the floor. Now I just pull the ring, and the bar lifts smoothly in an arc and drops into place in the frame. I attached the pulleys with Sugru as well, because I still didn’t want to drill into the plastic. I wrapped the Sugru around both ends of each pulley and into the screw holes, pushing it through so it bonded with the Sugru on the backside. That basically creates a molded-through anchor—almost like a built-in rivet with end caps—so the pulley is locked in place rather than just stuck to the surface. The pulleys rotate very smoothly, so there’s very little resistance putting stress on the Sugru, and the way it’s wrapped and anchored holds them securely. Everything stays aligned, nothing binds, and the bar no longer shifts or gets stuck. Simple solution, works extremely well. My doors are a light beige/khaki, so mixing the white & grey Sugru matches very well (that was the hardest part!). I also added a decorative pull (I had some ceramic lighthouses I picked up on vacation in Britain 20 years ago—I got four of them but only have one ceiling fan—so I finally got to use a couple of them). Makes me very happy. I just have one left—I’ll find a home for it!

These are nice, multi-purpose wheels (SS, I believe) that I'm using on a system to raise and lower my sailboat mast. They help keep the winch cable routing in place so that used in conjunction with a gyn pole, I can easily raise and lower my sailboat mast with a winch I've attached at the trailer front, separte from the retrieval winch. Works great, nice product and very affordable price.

Appears to be good quality item

Worked for what need it for

These work really well. Nice size and good price.

Excelente

These pulleys seem WAY stronger and tougher than I was expecting. The plating is great, so they'd probably hold up well outside, with a little lubrication. The pulleys turn with almost no friction. Much better product than I was expecting!

Wrks, well made.

Good, robust construction

Funciona como esperas.

Amazing works well would buy again

worked great

I needed to raise a storage rack and secure it to my garage ceiling. I built the rack out of 1x3 rectangular tubing and 2x2 wire mesh. It weighed lightly over 200 pounds. I used these fixed pulleys to help run 2 part lines at 4 locations. Pulley wheels are a little small (not manufacturers fault) so resistance was higher than I wanted. They worked well.
