Guardian 00510 Ridge-It Reusable Roof Anchor — Double D-Ring

A reusable roof anchor that serves both roof faces — Guardian 00510 Ridge-It

The point of a reusable roof anchor is that the tie-off outlives the job: the Guardian 00510 Ridge-It fastens into the framing at the ridge, shingles over, and leaves two rated D-rings on the roof — one serving each face — for every crew that follows. Eighteen inches of zinc-plated stainless steel, OSHA and ANSI compliant, and the reason the Ridge-It name has become shorthand for the leave-in-place ridge anchor in our ranked anchor guide.

Shoppers comparing guardian roof anchor options are usually choosing within this family: the single-ring 00500 RIDG-1 or this double-ring 00510. As a roof ridge anchor, the 00510’s second ring is the difference — two-sided ridge work without re-rigging.

Pros & cons

Specifications

What the Ridge-It is for

Roofs that get serviced more than once. Installing permanent roof anchor points at re-roofing time costs minutes; every solar, chimney, and gutter visit afterward ties off in seconds instead of improvising. The 00510 anchors that pattern in the anchor points collection, completes the A of the ABC system in the fall protection equipment guide, and pairs with a harness from the ranked harness guide and the jobsite loadout in the construction PPE checklist.

Building the system on this anchor

Either D-ring takes a Guardian VLA assembly or VL58 rope lifeline with rope grab — the pairings ranked in the vertical lifelines guide — or an SRL from the SRL collection where clearance runs tight. One-box starters live in the ranked kits guide, and self-connection gets easier with a D-ring extender.

How the 00510 compares

Against its stablemates: the 00500 RIDG-1 is the single-ring version for one-face work, the Pitch Pro 10540 is the temporary bracket that leaves at closeout, and the 250 clamp handles metal without penetration. Beyond Guardian, the Super Anchor RS-20 competes in the stainless leave-in class and the Peakworks bracket covers budget temporary work — all in the fall protection collection.

Safety note: an anchor is one component of a personal fall arrest system — its rating assumes correct installation into sound structure per Guardian’s instructions, and OSHA 1926.502 judges the installed system, not the part in the box. Work in line below the ring you are tied to, run the clearance math before choosing the connector, and retire every loaded component after an arrest.

Ordering FAQ

Is the Guardian 00510 Ridge-It in stock and ready to ship?
Yes — this listing is active and ships through Amazon. Open the linked listing for live price, availability, and delivery speed.

Why does the Ridge-It have two D-rings?
One serves each side of the ridge, so a worker can tie off and work either roof face without re-rigging — and the second ring is there when the job plan calls for repositioning. It is the practical difference from the single-ring Guardian 00500.

What is the Ridge-It made of?
Zinc-plated stainless steel, per Guardian’s listing — built to sit on a roof through weather for the long haul.

How does the 00510 install?
It fastens through the roof into structural framing at the ridge following Guardian’s fastener pattern — rafters or trusses, never sheathing alone. At 18 inches it spans framing at the peak.

Can I shingle over the Ridge-It and leave it?
Yes — that is the Ridge-It concept: install at re-roofing time, shingle over the base, and the D-rings remain as rated tie-off points for every later visit — solar, chimney, gutter, inspection.

Is this anchor reusable across jobs?
It is reusable in place: it stays on the roof serving repeat visits. It is not designed to be pulled and re-nailed house to house — for that pattern use a temporary bracket like the Pitch Pro.

What roofs does the Ridge-It suit?
Wood-framed pitched roofs — shingle-over-framing construction. Standing-seam metal takes a seam clamp instead, and concrete takes a drop-in concrete anchor.

What connects to the Ridge-It’s D-rings?
A vertical lifeline assembly with rope grab for down-slope work, an SRL when clearance is tight, or a lanyard where the math allows — all standard rated snap hooks and carabiners seat on the rings.

Can two workers tie off to one Ridge-It?
OSHA’s anchorage rule is per attached worker — 5,000 lb each or a qualified-person design. Do not put two workers on any anchor unless Guardian’s instructions for the installed configuration allow it.

Is the 00510 OSHA and ANSI compliant?
Guardian lists the Ridge-It as OSHA and ANSI compliant hardware; compliance of the installed anchorage still depends on correct installation into sound structure per the instructions.

How do I inspect the Ridge-It over its life?
Before each use: D-rings free of deformation or cracks, fasteners tight, plating free of heavy corrosion, flashing intact. After any fall arrest, the anchor retires with the rest of the loaded system.

Ridge-It or a roofing kit — which should I buy first?
They solve different halves: a roofing kit boxes the harness, lifeline, and a starter anchor for one worker; the Ridge-It is the anchor that stays behind. Roofs you will service again deserve both.

How do I reorder the 00510 for multiple roofs?
Reorder from this page — the listing and its linked Amazon ASIN stay constant, so outfitting the next roof takes seconds.
