Important installation preparation
When using this latch on a child-resistant safety gate, always consult appropriate pool or
safety authorities in your area and install this latch in accordance with the local fence/
barrier regulations. A swimming pool gate must open outward, away from the pool, so this latch must be fitted to the OUTSIDE
of a pool gate. Tools required: Electric drill/cordless drill, drill bits and Phillips No. 2 screwdriver (hand & power).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
The maximum gap between gate frame and latch post must be between
2.
Determine the desired location of the latch on the fence post. Mark the point indicated by arrow 'L2' (see diagram). Place Mounting Bracket 'A' on
the post as shown and mark the center fixing hole. Using one of the 1" (25mm) wafer-head, self-drilling screws, fix the bracket to the post – through
the side fixing hole. Now install two more of these screws through the front of the bracket.
3.
To install Mounting Bracket 'B' measure up from Bracket 'A' 3
Place the Bracket 'B' so that the holes are centered on the marked line. Fix bracket using the same screws
as per Bracket 'A'. (NOTE: In some applications it may be necessary to add a spacer to clear a post
cap. Spacers S1, S2 & S3 are for this purpose and should be inserted behind the
mounting brackets during installation.)
4.
Take the main LATCH BODY 'C' and slide it down onto the
Mounting Bracket 'B', ensuring the rear track of the latch
slides over brackets 'B', then 'A'.
5.
Slide the Latch Body until the top of the lower molding (L1) is
flush with the top of Bracket 'A' (L2) – such that diagram arrow
'L1' aligns with arrow 'L2'. Take the single
sunk screw H and secure the Latch Body – DO NOT use a power or
cordless drill – to Bracket 'A'.
6.
The final part to be installed is the STRIKER BODY 'D'.
Note that the Striker Body slides on a dovetail track within the
Mounting Plate (P1, P2) and is operated by an internal adjust-
ment screw; NEVER use a powered drill to adjust this screw.
See Diagram 'E'. Locate the Striker Body assembly onto the post as
shown. Position the Striker Body to obtain a
between the lower part of the latch and the top of the Striker Body
as shown. Maintain this gap and fix two 1" (25mm) screws through
the two main holes of the Striker Body. The two, small (cylindrical)
dress plugs supplied should now be pressed into the screw holes.
7.
a) Open the gate and secure two more screws through the side
leg of the Mounting Plate. Note: If the width of the gate frame is 1
/ " (38mm) or greater, follow step b)...

b) With the gate open, adjust the Striker Body using the
screwdriver in the adjustment screw. Turn counter-clockwise until
the two holes are exposed, as in Diagram '(P2)'. Fix the two
remaining screws to secure the Mounting Plate.
8.
Use the screwdriver to adjust the Striker Body to align with the
Latch Body, as shown in Diagram 'E'. Open and close the gate to
check the latch operates correctly. Adjust as necessary at any time
after installation to ensure safe operation of the latch.
NOTE: Future vertical adjustment of the latch can be achieved by removing the screw 'H', sliding the
Latch Body up or down the post to obtain correct operational alignment, then inserting the screw into the
appropriate hole.
S wimming pool fences, gates and latches cannot substitute for adult supervision. If using this latch on a swimming pool gate, consult all
appropriate local authorities for safety requirements. The latch will operate properly only if installed and maintained
in accordance with these instructions.
MAINTENANCE: REMOVE KEY FROM LOCK AFTER USE. Regularly lubricate the key-lock part of this latch by spraying oil-based lubricant into
lock. Do not lubricate any other part of the latch. Ensure all screws or bolts are tightened firmly and that the release knob [F] and latching bolt
are kept free of sand, debris or ice which could impair the latch's performance.
