Sliding Door Latch

$95.00

In stock

The sliding door latch is a two-way latch designed for sliding patio doors, serving as a safety measure to prevent young children from exiting. It can be disengaged** when children are not present, and is also intended to assist individuals with special needs, such as those with autism, sleepwalkers, and adults with dementia.
**Disangaging feature is not acceptable for pool safe regulation.

Our sliding door latch is suitable for use with sliding patio doors and can enhance pool safety. Depending on local regulations, doors and gates may be configured to act as safety barriers around pools or spas.

Pool Safety Door Latch

The sliding door latch is a crucial element in pool safety, providing essential security to prevent unauthorized access, particularly for young children and pets. Regular maintenance and inspections of the latch can help minimize the risk of accidents or drownings. Ensure the latch is functional, secured when not in use, and consider investing in a high-quality option for enhanced safety. 

Most state regulations require: 

  • Self-closing and self-latching gates or doors 
  • Prohibition of direct access from a house to the pool area 
  • Latch installation above 1.5 m from the ground 
  • Gates or doors must self-latch on the first swing 

If doors lack self-closing and latching features, the following rules apply: 

  • All residential pools and spas in Victoria deeper than 30 cm must have a safety barrier. 

Pool and spa owners are encouraged to use the safety checking tool developed by Life Saving Victoria. Common compliance issues include: 

  • Gates that don’t self-latch or self-close 
  • Climbable objects in the ‘non-climbable’ zone 
  • Excess space beneath the fence 
  • Misuse, such as propping the pool gate open

Color

Black, white
Attention please.
  • When you open the package, you will find one small screw next to the long screws.
  • Optionally, this screw should be carefully placed in the place marked with the arrow as in the side photo.
  • The aim here is to make the latches more suitable to the desired standards if they are to be used for pool safety.
  •  When this screw is inserted here, the ability to disable the latch when desired is eliminated.

LATCHback Installation Instructions:

Required tools: A Cordless Drill, 3/8” and 7/32” Drill Bits, and a Philips Screw Driver Please note: Once before drilling and screwing, check it several times then do the job. Remember, it’s your responsibility.
  • Slide the door in the closing direction, all the way.
  • Place the paper template (supplied) on the door at a minimum height of 150 cm from the ground.
  • Drill the door with 3/8″ drill bit for the middle hole. Use a 7/32″ drill bit for the other holes. (Before drilling with a large drill bit, a centering hole is first drilled with a small diameter drill bit.)
  • Extreme Caution– Make sure that the drill bits should not hit the glass behind.
  • Connect the two handles using the long screws provided. Make sure the inner handle (with deactivation button) is installed inside.
  • Slide the door in the closing direction; Manually adjust the striker and latch hook to best fit together. This process is vital for the efficient operation of the latch mechanism. Before screwing in, try a few times and decide on the position where the latch hook hooks easily and efficiently.
  • In this state, mark the screw locations for the strike/keeper and mount it.
  • Note: Latch spacers are used when the latch is too far from the keeper.
  • Please make the right choice; returns are not accepted.
To disable LATCHback, turn the lever to the left (counter clockwise) until you hear a click. Press the button in the lower left corner to reactivate LATCHback sliding door latch. This feature is not compliant with pool safety rules. Please read and apply the second paragraph above.
  • Disclaimer: The above checklist does not substitute for a pool inspection and is for educational purposes only.
