For swimming and other child safety gates, most safety standards specify the
following minimum height requirements above the finished ground/fixing surface:
1) latch release knob ‘F’ at minimum 54”-59” (1370-1500mm); 2) fence height of between 4’ & 6’ (1200 &
1820mm)
Always confirm these and other requirements with the appropriate pool or safety authorities in your area and install
this latch in accordance with the local fence/barrier codes and regulations. Also, pool gate must open outward, away from the
pool, so this latch must be fitted to the outside of a pool gate. Tools: Electric and cordless drills, drill bits, Phillips No. 2 screwdriver
(hand & powered types). Note: If mounting to steel or vinyl with aluminum or steel inserts, it is advisable to pre-drill the holes to
prevent screw breakage.
Swimming 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.
Do not lubricate the latch with petroleum-based lubricants at any time; use only powdered graphite.
Ensure all s
crews or bolts are tightened firmly and that the release knob [F] and latching bolt are kept free of sand, ice and other debris which could impair latch
performance. Grind or remove any protruding fasteners after installation.

Determine the location of the hole for Mounting Bracket ‘A’ by measuring up from the finished ground/fixing
surface…

Place Mounting Bracket ‘A’ on the post as shown, and, 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’ 13

” (340mm). Mark this point
and fix as ‘2’ above.
NOTE:
For 4 feet (1200mm) fences without an extra-high post, this measurement
should be 5” (125mm) for 54” (1370mm) knob height and 10” (250mm) for 59”
(1500mm) knob height.
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 bot-
tom of the latch aligns neatly with the
lower end of Bracket ‘A’ (see dashed
line ‘L’). Take the single

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). 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

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.

NOTICE DE MONTAGE
• Le système Magna Latch peut être utilisé sur les portillons des barrières de protection
de piscines privatives destinées à un usage familial ou collectif.
• Les barrières de protection de piscine sont destinées à limiter lʼaccès de la piscine à des enfants de moins de cinq ans.
• Il est recommandé dʼinstaller la barrière de protection à un mètre minimum du plan dʼeau. Pour les piscines privatives à
usage individuel, il est recommandé de ne pas installer la barrière trop loin du bassin afin de ne pas perdre lʼefficacité de la
barrière.
En matière de barrières de piscine et autres barrières de protection pour les enfants de moins de 5 ans, les normes
de sécurité spécifient entre autres :
1) une barrière d’une hauteur d’au moins 1100 mm (la hauteur minimale entre deux points d’appui doit
toujours être supérieure ou égale à 1100 mm)
2) un système de déverrouillage, en l’occurrence le bouton de déverrouillage, placé à
une hauteur supérieure à 1500 mm à partir du sol à l’extérieur de la zone
protégée.
Par ailleurs, lorsque le moyen d’accès choisi est
pivotant , l’ouverture doit se faire vers
l’extérieur de la piscine. De fait, la
serrure Magna-Latch doit être fixée sur
le côté extérieur de la barrière.
Il est impératif de demander confir-
mation de ces exigences et d’autres
normes éventuelles auprès des profes-
sionnels de la piscine et des autorités
en charge de l’équipement ou de la
sécurité de votre région et d’installer
cette serrure en parfaite conformité
avec les normes et les réglementations
len vigueur.
Outils : perceuse électrique ou sans
fil, mèches, tournevis Phillips No. 2
(manuel & électrique). Note : pour les
montants en acier de forte épaisseur, il
est conseillé d’effectuer un pré-perçage
des trous, afin d’éviter de briser les vis.
Procédure
d’installation
1.
L’écart entre le cadre du
portillon et le montant sur lequel
sera placée la serrure doit être
compris entre 10 mm et 37 mm, la
distance idéale étant de 19 mm.
2.
Marquer lʼemplacement du trou
nécessaire au montage de la patte
de fixation A à 1100 mm du sol fini
ou de la surface de fixation.
Visser la patte de fixation A sur
le côté du montant de la barrière
comme indiqué sur le schéma, à l’aide de l’une des vis autoperforantes à tête wafer 25 mm. Finir de fixer
la patte de fixation à l’aide de deux autres vis semblables sur la face avant du montant.
3.
Pour installer la patte de fixation B, tracer une ligne à 110 mm au-dessus de la patte de fixation A
(prendre pour repère la vis centrale de la patte de fixation A).
Positionner la patte de fixation B de manière à ce que les
trous soient centrés sur la ligne tracée, puis la fixer à l’aide du même type de vis que pour la patte de
