The person with the most posts wins the ultimate pool safety gate hardware set; a MagnaLatch® ALERT and two TruClose® hinges, retail value of $240.
“We are on a mission to save lives,” says Jim Paterson, VP of Sales and Marketing, North & South America, D&D Technologies. “In the U.S., drowning is the number one cause of unintentional death for children between ages 1-4 and the second leading cause for those between the ages of 5-14. All the innovation, technology and passion that we put into manufacturing safety gate products are done with one intention in mind: protect children, protect loved ones.”
D&D Technologies Director of Marketing, Jackie Barrera, shares that “the Royal Life Saving Society – Australia recently released statistics showing that over the last 13 years in Australia, a large number of the drowning deaths in children aged 0-4 years were caused by a faulty pool gate or a gate being propped open. Although the U.S. currently does not collect such data, it clearly shows the importance of having a gate latch and self-closing hinges that properly work on a fence safeguarding a body of water.”
MagnaLatch ALERT and TruClose self-closing hinges work together to ensure the gate closes and latches properly. If the gate is opened or not securely latched, the ALERT will sound an alarm to notify adults of the vulnerable access point.
D&D revolutionized the world by the invention of the world’s first magnetic gate latch. David Doyle, founding father of D&D Technologies discovered neodymium magnets never lose power. He engineered and patented the world’s first magnetic safety latch. Since then, MagnaLatch® has become the number one child and pet safety pool gate latch in the world. Combined with TruClose®self-closing hinges, made out of engineering polymer, D&D offers one of the most reliable solutions for pool and spa gates.
