Lockable, magnetic gate latch for pool, house and garden gates

June 7th, 2011
Splash Magazine

• Key lockable!

• Patented 'Lost Motion Technology' (same safety factor as  the ubiquitous 'Top Pull' model)

• Available in 3 styles

• Adjustable, vertically & horizontally

• No rust or binding

• Australian owned, designed and made

• Lifetime Warranty

The first MagnaLatch ever made, the ‘Side Pull’ model, has now been redesigned in a "key lockable" version.

Unlike earlier Side Pull latches, this one also incorporates D&D Technologies’ patented Lost Motion Technology, a zone of “free-play” that makes the top-selling MagnaLatch® Top Pull the world’s safest gate latch!

There are three models of this new latch: one is designed especially for metal or wood gates around homes and gardens, while two others are ideal for today’s popular glass gates with square or 50mm-round fence posts (e.g. swimming pools)

This latch comes with vertical and horizontal adjustment of up to 8mm, which makes installation easier and allows fine-tuning of the latching alignment well after installation.

Powered by the same super-strong "permanent magnets" as other MagnaLatch models, and being made from strong engineering polymers and stainless steel components, it is designed to provide a lifetime of service.

The inventor of MagnaLatch, D&D Technologies Pty Ltd, is a Sydney-based company that has gone on to design a comprehensive range of award-winning gate latches, locks, hinges and accessories. The company manufactures all its products in Australia to ensure the highest quality, and boasts two Australian Design Awards, and two Australian Design Marks. D&D exports its gate hardware around the world, with the MagnaLatch and TruClose Gate Hinges considered the industry standard for safety gates in the USA!

Like all of D&D Technologies’ innovative gate hardware products, the Lockable MagnaLatch ‘Side Pull’ model is backed by a Lifetime Warranty.

There are round-post adaptor kits and special stainless-steel mounting brackets that will be required for round-posted and glass gates respectively. For more information and availability for these and all D&D gate hardware products contact the D&D

Technologies Customer Service team on 1800 500 203 or (02) 9454 7800. Or email or visit D&D’s website
