Making Child Safety Gates Accessible to Everyone
Access Latch is a simple to install, no power/battery solution that enables pool/gate locks to be opened by people in wheelchairs with the use of an MLAK key
Access Latch works with the Magnalatch* range of products, providing an alternate key-operated base unit that allows the gate to be opened from lower height whist remaining child-safe and compliant with self-latching requirements.
Access Latch is typically installed to gates at:
- Preschools,
- Childcare centres,
- Community centres,
- Maternal child health centres,
- Swimming pools and aquatic centres and
- Playgrounds
Access Latch is 100% Australian made, from high-quality glass-filled Nylon with a UV dampener.
It has been designed to comply with AS 1428.1 (2009) – Design for access and mobility and AS 1926 – Safety barriers for swimming pools as there are no footholds for children’s feet.
The lock barrel is a standard PD barrel used for restricted access keys. The unit is keyed for an MLAK access key but can be rekeyed by a locksmith to meet other requirements.
