is revolutionizing the reliability, safety and child resistance of swimming pool gates. The design is brilliantly simple. As the gate swings shut, a powerful "permanent" magnet draws the latch bolt into the housing, latching it securely. No amount of shaking, pulling or pushing will disengage the latch. Magna-Latch neither incurs any mechanical resistance to closure nor suffers the typical sticking, jamming or sagging of mechanical latches. The Magna-Latch will work on aluminum, steel, vinyl or wood fence materials. Plus, a new adjustable striker body easily compensates for wide gaps. The Side Pull Latch provides positive magnetic engagement of the bolt into the striker body. The horizontal release offers a less-obvious alternative to the lockable models. It can be used where safety is not an issue. Available in white or black. The Vertical Pull is a shorter version of the Top Pull. It carries all the same features and is suitable for most gate applications. It is also key-lockable in either black or white. NOTE: a 3-set Round Post Adaptor Kit is available for tubular mounting. The Top Pull model is the ideal latch for swimming pool gates. The latch release knob is designed to sit above the fence out of the reach of small children. It is key-lockable for added security. The release knob only lifts vertically. A protective shroud prevents the child from using a long object to manipulate the knob. Adjustable striker body adjusts for wide gaps and allows double face attachment for extra strength. NOTE: a 3-set Round Post Adaptor Kit is available for tubular mounting .
