10" AquaLatch with Handle/Keeper (AQUA-10H)

Federal and local pool codes require self-latching gates for pool barriers to keep unauthorized people from entering the pool area. Unfortunately, every year hundreds of toddlers enter the pool area and drown. Magnetic gate latches have rapidly become the safety latch of choice. The AquaLatch™ magnetic gate latch meets all pool codes when properly installed. Give yourself peace of mind and protect your young ones with the AquaLatch™ magnetic gate latch!

How this latch works:

AquaLatch magnetic gate latch works as a pool safety latch when matched with self-closing hinges. When the gate closes, the magnetic striker pulls the latch pin securely into the striker. The gate cannot be forced open by a toddler with this system. The gate is opened by simply pulling up on the latch release knob on top. The latch can be locked with keys provided.

*NOTE: Most swimming pool codes require a latch on a gate protecting a swimming pool area be a minimum of 54" above the bottom of the gate in order to put it out of the reach of small children. Self-closing hinges are required on pool-safe applications. Standard gate posts on fences less than 5' high may need to be extended higher to allow the latch to be mounted higher. In many cases the latch can be mounted to extend above the posts to attain height required (Example). Check your local pool codes which may vary.
