D&D Technologies ML3TPKA MagnaLatch Top Pull 20-inch Gate Latch, Magnetic Lock System, Professional-Grade Pool & Child Safety Gate Latch, Weather-Resistant Hardware, Any Square Gate Frame and Post

Excellent product, works great and was easy to install.

Love these latches. Easy to open gates and helps from small children being able to access the latch.

I custom fabricated my own deck gate to keep grandchild & grand-dog contained. I've already been harassed about having a "pool" latch on my deck. But... having seen D&D Technologies' MagnaLatch at most every vacation spot I've visited, how could one ignore the abuse those latches endure? Though heavy duty, I'm not excited about the latch being 95% plastic. I've seen photos on line where UV rays lighten their color over time. But hey, at least they won't rust! The snap-on screw cover gives it that final touch! I like the larger diameter self threading screws that were provided. To keep the brackets from wandering about my aluminum posts during installation, I clamped them into place. Using a 1/4" drill bit & the holes in the brackets as my template, I made a very shallow indentation in my post. This provided a recess for a much smaller drill bit, located in the exact center of each hole. The screws went in much easier than the instructions & the brackets never moved! I did not reply to the "Sturdiness" review because they've only been installed for a few days. I'm also paying close attention to what the great ball in the sky is gonna do to the finish. All in all, the latch came excellently packaged, all parts were there & it installed very easily. As a not-so-inexpensive latch, I figured the Aussies had some kind of on-line warranty registration?

Purchased these to replace the standard gate latch on new fencing around a pool. PROS Sturdy. Relatively easy to install. Puts latches out of reach of children. Lockable. CON After recent rainy weather that turned to below freezing temperatures, went out to do some maintenance around the pool. Could not get either latch open as they were frozen in the locked position. We're not talking 'cased in ice' here; just water that had gotten inside, no visible ice outside.

Used this to replace a failed lock on an existing gate. I installed easily and is working perfectly.

This was a good fit for my garden gate.

Excellent product. Works great and easy to install.

Good quality and easy to install
