DAC Industries Square Auto-Latch

Square Auto-Latch (AUTO-LATCH)

Protect small children from the dangers of your swimming pool and/ or hot tub with this child-resistant latch. The latch can not be opened by anyone who can not reach the top of the push rod. Latches available to fit many combinations of post sizes and gate frame sizes. Latch requires 3" gap between gate post and gate frame upright. Complete descriptions and prices below.

The pool-safe latch unit is made from shock resistant plastic. Latches are available in black only. Latches self-latch and may be padlocked on either side for further security. Latches allow gate to swing in both directions. Pool-safe latches are required in some areas and by the national BOCA code (check your local pool code for latch requirements). Auto-Latch for ornamental gates installs in minutes assuring safety for children and pets.

Ordering the correct size:

Measure the O.D. (outside diameter) of the gate frame and the gate post. Match these sizes to order below.

Operation:

To open: Push down on the top of the bar at the top of the gate. This will 'unlock' the fork type latch allowing it to swivel, so the gate can be swung in or out.

To close: Swing the gate closed and the fork type latch will swivel and lock into place. Can be used with automatic closing type gates.

NOTE: When installed properly, the auto-latch meets Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines for swimming pool latches.
