18 years ago D&D Technologies introduced the revolutionary MagnaLatch magnetic gate latch to the fencing industry in Australia and NZ, bringing a new level of safety to hundreds of thousands of homes, yards and pool areas. Since then the product’s popularity has spread to North America and Europe.
The reliability of the latch’s strong permanent magnets and its cost-effective design made the MagnaLatch a critical choice for safety gates.
MagnaLatch’s patented magnetic latching mechanism eliminates any chance of mechanical jamming, making it a reliable choice for applications like pool gates and childcare centres.
The MagnaLatch range now includes a number of different designs.
The original Side Pull MagnaLatch model has been refined, now offering a stylish, slimline design for general-purpose gates around homes and gardens, and some safety gates.
This model can be adapted to suit the sleek lines of glass pool gates, with a special Glass Gate Hardware Kit allowing it to be easily fixed to 8mm toughened glass gates.
The flagship of the MagnaLatch range, the Top Pull model, offers good protection on swimming pool and other child safety gates.
Extending well above the fence, the Top Pull model protects against young children gaining entry into pool enclosures, helping to reduce the number of toddler drownings in backyard pools.
Based on the same technology as the Top Pull design, the Vertical Pull MagnaLatch (or Pet Latch) offers the same level of protection when mounted to taller gates.
The Vertical Pull MagnaLatch also functions well as a lockable latch on standard-sized fences, preventing pets from gaining access to dangerous roadways.
Built-in horizontal and vertical adjustment make installation and fine-tuning easy, so gates fitted with a MagnaLatch will continue to function without problem for many years.
All latches in the MagnaLatch range are made from strong, rust-free engineering polymers and stainless steel components.
