D&D Technologies invented magnetic safety gate latches in the early 1990s. MagnaLatch® Safety Gate Latches are the safest and most trusted gate latches on the market. The Australian-designed-and-made MagnaLatch® Vertical Pull gate latch is the ideal gate latch for use on pool, front, pet, side and perimeter gates. It is smaller than the MagnaLatch Top Pull version, so it may be more suitable for taller pool gates. Its innovative, magnetically triggered latching makes it highly reliable, as it greatly reduces the chances of jamming or sticking during closure. Mounted correctly it will close first time, every time, and installation is quick and easy. Made from hi-tech engineering polymers and stainless-steel componentry, MagnaLatch® Gate Latches are suitable for mounting to most gates and gate materials. This "Series 3" model of MagnaLatch® features a new, visible locked and unlocked indicator, rekeyable security lock (can be rekeyed by a locksmith to match doors), vertical and horizontal alignment indicators, and much more. It's been tested to 2 million cycles and it's 50% stronger than previous models.
