Why Roofing Contractors and Framers Buy the RORS01 by the 10-Pack
Single roof anchors are an inventory headache. By the time you remember to reorder, you're already on the next job. The Frontline RORS01 in a 10-pack solves both sides of that problem: roofing contractors stock crew trucks so the next tear-off, re-roof, or repair job has anchors ready before sunrise. New-construction framers and GCs can buy enough for an entire production house, a multi-unit roof, or an addition in a single transaction.
At 1.4 lbs per anchor and just 3" × 11.4" × 1/2", ten anchors fit in a small toolbox. Twelve fasteners (Grip-Rite 3.5" exterior screws or 16D galvanized framing nails) install each anchor in minutes with no special tools. When the job is done, the anchor stays as a permanent tie-off point or comes off with the temporary roof system — reusable, your call.
Available Colors — Choose Your Finish
Same anchor, same certification, same 10-pack pricing. Pick the finish that matches your roof, blends with shingles, or color-codes your crew gear. Need to mix colors? Add a 10-pack of one color, then a 10-pack of another to your cart — combine as many as you need. The bulk discount stacks across colors.

The RORS01 is rated for residential roofs with a pitch of 0/12 to 4/12 (low-slope only). It cannot be used on pitches steeper than 4/12 or on standing-seam metal roofs.
For roof pitches above 4/12, you need a different anchor designed for steep-slope residential work. For standing-seam metal roofs, use a non-penetrating, clamp-on anchor such as the SSRA1. Not sure what applies to your project? Call us at 863-703-4522 before you buy.
Compliance & Certification
How to Install the Frontline RORS01 PitchFast Roof Anchor
The RORS01 installs in minutes with hand tools or a framing nailer. Follow the manufacturer's user manual for full instructions and always inspect the anchor before each use.
- Confirm Roof PitchVerify the roof pitch is between 0/12 and 4/12. Do not install on roofs steeper than 4/12 — the anchor is not rated for steeper pitches.
- Locate a Structural Wood TrussIdentify a wood truss, minimum 3.5" thick. The anchor must be installed directly over and into the truss, not into sheathing alone.
- Position the AnchorPlace the RORS01 with the connection point parallel to the user's path of travel and facing the fall hazard. The anchor must be positioned so the working angle stays within 15°.
- Drive 12 FastenersUse either (12) 3.5" Grip-Rite exterior screws or (12) 16D galvanized framing nails. A minimum of 8 fasteners must engage the structural wood truss; the remaining 4 may anchor into the sheathing.
- Inspect ConnectionsVerify all 12 fasteners are fully driven, the anchor sits flush, and there is no gap between the anchor base and the roof surface.
- Connect Fall ProtectionAttach a compatible self-retracting lanyard or shock-absorbing lanyard to the connection point. Confirm that total fall clearance below the work surface accounts for free fall (6 ft max), deceleration distance, harness stretch, and safety margin.
- Inspect Before Each UseBefore every shift and after any fall event, inspect the anchor, fasteners, and connection point for deformation, corrosion, or damage. Remove from service if any issue is found.
