What Brand of Gate Latch is installed on your Pool Fence Gate?
The quickest way to order a new gate key is to know which gate latch is installed on your pool fence gate. Use the quick finder above, or read the descriptions below and compare the photos. We offer replacement keys for every latch listed here.
D&D Technologies – Magna Latch
D&D Technologies makes several Magna Latch models:
Magna Latch – S2 Model
D&D’s S2 Gate Latch was offered up until 2018. If your pool fence was installed around that time or prior, you more than likely have this latch installed. The keyhole is located underneath the latch pull. This is a special key that cannot be duplicated and must be ordered every time. The keys are imprinted with the number #62462 on the back and D&D imprinted on the front. Latches were made in Black and White and all latches are keyed alike, so one S2 key fits every S2 latch.
Magna Latch – S3 Model
This is the latest model of D&D’s Gate Latches. This latch has the key lock on the front face of the gate latch. A red indicator on the front will also let you know if the latch is locked or unlocked. The keys for this latch can be duplicated by your local locksmith or hardware store. The keys look like your common household key. Latches are available in Black and White and all latches are keyed alike.
Magna Latch – Alert
Magna Latch Alert is the Alarm version of the S3 model. It sets off not only a loud beeping when opened, but also flashes yellow. The key lock is on the front of the latch and also has a red dot showing you when the gate latch is locked and unlocked. The key for this latch is the same as the S3 model and can be duplicated at your local hardware store or by a locksmith. All latches are keyed alike.
SafeTech Hardware
SafeTech has been in the pool safety & gate hardware business since 2016 and is another common latch alternative to D&D’s gate latch options.
TriLatch
TriLatch latches have the key lock on the bottom front face of the latch mechanism and the keys can be duplicated. However, there are two versions of the tri-latch and the keys are not interchangeable so you need to identify which latch you have in order to purchase the correct key. If you have a key to reference you can tell which version you have by using the identifier below.
SL-50-TRI-90L (Old Style)
If your installation was during 2023/24 or prior, you potentially may have a “90L” latch installed. You can identify your latch type by looking at your striker body for an alignment marker. If there is NO alignment marker, you have a “90L”.
SL-50-TRI-90 (New Style, introduced 2023/2024)
This latch was introduced later in 2023/2024. You can tell if you have a “90” latch if your striker body has an alignment marker (shown below). If you do not have an alignment marker, you have the previous latch, “90L”, installed.
