Description

Magnetic Child-Safety Latch for Pool Gates

The D&D MagnaLatch® Series 3 Top Pull is a magnetic, key-lockable safety latch designed for swimming pool gates and other areas where child safety is important. Its elevated top-pull release helps position the opening mechanism out of reach of young children, while magnetic latching technology provides reliable engagement when the gate closes.

The Series 3 model includes a visible Locked/Unlocked indicator, a six-pin rekeyable lock, and vertical and horizontal alignment indicators that make installation and future adjustments easier. If the gate shifts or sags over time, the latch can be realigned to maintain proper operation.

Durable, Adjustable Design

Constructed from engineering-grade polymers and stainless-steel components, the MagnaLatch is designed for reliable outdoor use and performance in extreme climates. According to D&D Technologies, the Series 3 has been tested through two million operating cycles and is 50% stronger than previous models.

Key features include:

  • Magnetic self-latching technology
  • Elevated, child-resistant top-pull release
  • Visible Locked/Unlocked indicator
  • Six-pin key-lockable security
  • Rekeyable by a locksmith to match compatible household locks
  • Vertical and horizontal adjustment
  • Alignment marks that indicate when adjustment is needed
  • Engineering-grade polymer and stainless-steel construction

Gate Compatibility

This model is designed for square gate frames and square posts measuring at least 1 inch wide. It is compatible with most aluminum, steel, ornamental iron, wood, and vinyl gates.

  • Ideal gate-to-post gap: approximately 3/4 inch
  • Recommended approximate maximum gate size: 3 feet wide × 5 feet high
  • Mounting style: Screw-on
  • Color: Black
  • Manufacturer model: ML3TPKA

A separate adapter kit is required for compatible round-post or chain-link gate installations.

Important Installation Information

The MagnaLatch automatically engages after the gate closes, but it does not pull the gate closed. Pool gates require properly installed and adjusted self-closing hinges, which are sold separately.

The MagnaLatch is designed for pool and child-safety gate applications, but the complete gate installation must satisfy all applicable local requirements. Gate height, latch position, opening direction, clearances, and self-closing operation can all affect compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the MagnaLatch make my gate self-closing?

No. The MagnaLatch automatically engages and secures the gate after it closes, but it does not pull the gate closed. Properly installed and adjusted self-closing hinges are required separately.

Can the MagnaLatch be installed on either side of the gate?

Yes. The MagnaLatch Series 3 can be configured for a left- or right-swinging gate. For a pool barrier, the gate should pull open toward you and away from the pool—not push inward toward the pool area. The latch height, gate direction, and complete installation must comply with applicable local pool-barrier requirements.

Can the lock be rekeyed to match my house key?

The MagnaLatch Series 3 has a six-pin lock cylinder that can be rekeyed by a locksmith to match certain compatible household door locks. Compatibility depends on your existing key and lock type, so confirm with a locksmith before having it rekeyed.

The latch includes two Series 3 keys, and additional S3 replacement keys are available separately. Be sure to select Series 3 keys: older Series 2 MagnaLatches use a different lock configuration located underneath the latch body, while the Series 3 lock is front-facing.

Is the MagnaLatch pool-code compliant?

Yes, the MagnaLatch Series 3 is designed for swimming pool and child-safety gate applications and meets applicable pool-gate standards when properly installed. Final compliance depends on the complete gate system—including latch height and location, gate opening direction, gate and fence height, clearances, and properly operating self-closing hinges. Always install the latch and gate in accordance with applicable local pool-barrier codes.
