HomeMy WebLinkAboutManualIn the time it takes to answer your door or phone,
a child can wander to your backyard and fall into
your pool. Layers of protection between your
home and the water can give you those critical
few seconds needed to re-establish contact when
a momentary lapse in supervision occurs.
Isolation fencing, which completely separates the
pool from the home, has been proven in numerous
studies to be the most effective barrier to keep
children away from a pool or other danger.
The Latch

means no
resistance
toclosure
•The latch should offer extensive vertical and
horizontal adjustment so It can be adjusted
after installation if needed, due to ground
shifting or children swinging on the gate.
*The latch bolt should not be able to be opened
using implements such as popsicle sticks,
pencils screwdrivers, etc
•The latch should not be able to be disengaged
by pulling, shaking or twisting the gate.
*The release knob should work independently of
the latch bolt,so that If the release mechanism
fails, the latch will still trigger shut
*The latch should be key lockable for added
security, and should not be able to be
locked in the open"position, as this could:
prevent safe latching.
