For over 35 years, D&D Technologies has been the pioneer in designing and manufacturing gate hardware that protects families, pets, properties, and communities worldwide. Our products, from backyard pool gates to public parks and schools, are built on a unique core principle: security should never be an afterthought. It should be built in.
We often think of safety as something substantial, such as alarms, locks, or surveillance systems, but proper security begins with small, thoughtful details.
A well-designed hinge, a reliable latch, or a self-closing gate hardware system can make all the difference between peace of mind and potential risk.
That’s where D&D Technologies comes in. Each of our products is crafted not just for performance, but for protection. Whether it’s keeping children safe around pools, preventing pets from escaping, or securing high-traffic gates in public spaces, our mission is the same: to keep people safe without compromising on quality or design. With D&D, homeowners can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their loved ones and properties are secure.
Imagine this: a sunny afternoon, kids splashing in the backyard pool, pets playing on the lawn, friends gathering for a barbecue. It’s a familiar scene, but one that requires careful safety considerations.
That’s why D&D’s MagnaLatch® has become a global standard for child safety gates, especially around swimming pools. Its magnetic self-latching mechanism helps ensure that gates automatically lock after every use, reducing the risk of accidental access by children. The latch is key-lockable, weather-resistant, and adjustable, making it easy to install and dependable throughout the year.
In fact, MagnaLatch® is the world’s most trusted child safety gate latch, chosen by parents, pool installers, and safety inspectors worldwide. Many pool safety organizations even endorse it as part of comprehensive drowning prevention programs because when it comes to children’s safety, every second and every click matters.
Beyond pool gates, D&D Technologies offers a complete range of hardware solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial gate applications. Our products, such as TruClose® hinges and LokkLatch® locks, are designed to perform flawlessly in all conditions: heat, cold, humidity, and heavy use, providing you with reliable hardware for real-life applications that you can trust.
• TruClose® Hinges are engineered for self-closing reliability, meaning you’ll never have to worry about whether a gate was left open. They’re adjustable, rust-free, and made from UV-stabilized industrial-strength polymer, ensuring they stand the test of time, especially in coastal or high-humidity environments.
• LokkLatch® combines security and style, available in models for every need—from simple residential gates to commercial security applications. Each latch provides key-lockable convenience, durability, and a sleek design that complements any fence or gate.
For those who demand even more, our SureClose® hydraulic closers and Shut It® steel gate hinges provide commercial-grade strength and precision. From playgrounds to warehouses, D&D hardware delivers performance that professionals and property owners’ trust.
While many of our products are found in family homes, D&D Technologies is also proud to help protect public spaces, including schools, community centers, sports facilities, and commercial properties.
Our hardware helps ensure that gates in these settings close securely, preventing accidents, unauthorized access, and potential liability. The same quality that parents trust at home is relied upon by architects, contractors, and builders designing larger-scale safety. Community safety isn’t just about protecting property; it’s about protecting people.
At D&D, we work closely with safety organizations, such as the National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA), installers, and industry partners to promote educational initiatives, including Check Your Pool Gate Month. This initiative encourages homeowners to inspect their gates and hardware regularly.
A secure latch or hinge can only protect your family if it’s functioning correctly. That's why at D&D, we emphasize the importance of regular maintenance, inspections, and adjustments. These practices are key to long-term safety. Through campaigns, how-to videos, and safety resources, we empower our customers to take an active role in maintaining the safety of their homes and communities, fostering a sense of responsibility and proactivity.
That’s why we’ll continue to innovate, educate, and collaborate with partners who share our belief that a safer world begins with stronger gates.
Security isn’t just about hardware, it’s about people.
And together, we can keep them safe.
