The MagnaLatch Safety Gate Latch has set the safety standards for gates around swimming pools, childcare centers, and other areas where safety is critical. After the simple installation your security gate will be secure and children will not be able to reach the child resistant knob to open the latch and enter potentially unsafe areas. For an extra level of security you can lock the latch with the provided key, or re-key the lock cylinder to match existing doors. A shorter 'Vertical Pull' model is ideal for use on front gates, pet gates, side gates and perimeter gates.
