As the new year begins, it’s the perfect time to consider upgrading your gates and securing your outdoor spaces. Whether you’re a fence contractor, homeowner, architect, or designer, investing in high-quality gate hardware can elevate your property's functionality, safety, and style. We, as a leader in gate hardware innovation, offer products designed to meet the needs of a diverse audience. Let’s explore the top five gate hardware upgrades to kick off the year on the right note.
These hinges are not only perfect for gates surrounding pools, play areas, and other high-traffic zones where safety is a priority, but they also automatically close the gate after each use, helping to ensure no accidental access by children or pets. The simplicity of this upgrade is a reassurance that safety can be easily enhanced.
TruClose® Hinges are a standout choice. Known for their reliability and durability, TruClose® Hinges are made from advanced polymer materials, ensuring they won’t rust, bind, or sag over time. Plus, they’re adjustable, making installation straightforward and seamless.
When it comes to gate latches, security and ease of use are paramount. Magnetic gate latches offer both, combining smooth operation with robust locking mechanisms. They’re handy for securing residential gates, commercial properties, and pool enclosures.
Our MagnaLatch® Series is a trusted name in magnetic latches. Designed with child safety in mind, they are self-latching, easy to operate, and highly resistant to tampering. The MagnaLatch® Top Pull is ideal for pool gates, while the MagnaLatch® Side Pull works well for general applications.
Heavy-duty gates require hardware that can handle the load while maintaining smooth functionality. Upgrading to robust gate hinges ensures your gate remains aligned and operates efficiently, even with frequent use. The robustness of these hinges instills confidence in your choice of upgrade.
SureClose® Hinges are engineered for high-performance applications. These concealed hydraulic hinges offer self-closing functionality and are built to support heavy gates. They’re perfect for commercial properties, estates, and high-end residential projects.
Key-locking latches are a must for gates that require added security. These latches allow property owners to control who can access the area, making them ideal for both residential and commercial settings.
The LokkLatch® Series from D&D Technologies is a versatile choice, offering a range of options to suit your specific needs. The LokkLatch® DELUXE offers a strong, two-part design with reliable locking capability, while the LokkLatch® MAGNETIC adds sleek aesthetics and advanced magnetic technology. Both options are rust-proof and built to withstand the elements, empowering you with a variety of choices for your gate hardware.
Gate handles may seem minor, but they significantly affect your gate's overall usability and appearance. A high-quality handle enhances the gate’s aesthetic and ensures smooth operation.
D&D Technologies offers a range of gate handles that combine style with practicality. For example, the Gate Handle™ is ergonomic and easy to install on various gate types. Its durable construction allows it to withstand daily use while maintaining its appearance.
When upgrading your gate hardware, keep these factors in mind:
Material Selection: Opt for rust-resistant materials like stainless steel and advanced polymers to ensure longevity.
Weather Resistance: Ensure your hardware can withstand the specific climate conditions of your area.
Aesthetic Alignment: Choose hardware that complements the design of your gate and surrounding architecture.
Compliance: Verify that your gate hardware meets local safety and building codes, particularly for pool gates.
Starting the year with upgraded gate hardware is a smart move to improve safety, security, and style. Whether you’re a fence contractor looking to impress clients or a homeowner aiming to enhance your property, these five upgrades offer significant benefits: self-closing hinges, magnetic latches, heavy-duty hinges, key-locking latches, and stylish handles.
