THE IMPORTANCE OF CHILD GATE SAFETY

HINGES

• Self-closing hinges should be easily tension-adjustable, before and after installation

 • Tough, reliable hinges made from rust-free polymer and stainless steel components

 • Hinges are guaranteed against rust, binding, sagging or staining

LATCHES

• Quality tested, magnetic mechanism that will not fail with use or released by pushing, pulling or shaking

• Release knob works independently of the latch bolt  (i.e. latch will engage at all times)  

• Latch cannot be key locked in the “open” position

COMPLIANCE

• Gate should open outwards, away from the pool

• Latch release knob at least 1500mm above ground level

• Gate must be self-closing and self-latching

• Gate complies with all Australian Standards for pools
