Easy to install and works great

MagnaLatch Series 3 Magnetic by D&D Technologies: I added a gate to my existing fence so I can tow my rowboat into the lake and pull it out on a more direct path. I chose this gate latch because it looked like a solid unit that would close securely and conform to regulations. The installation was uncomplicated. I used a YouTube video for reference. As long as you are close to the installation position, installing the device is forgivable. There is no loud click of the gate when closing, butโ€ฆ

Installing Vinyl Fences: Works great

I haven't seen any feedback from people installing this on vinyl gates so I hope this helps someone like me who wants to know how it works on vinyl gates. TLDR; it works great! I bought this lock because my 2 year old figured out how to open the gate with a standard deadbolt. Once this is installed, there's no chance she'll be able to open it. I didn't put mine at the 59 inch mark precisely because there is no pool and also because it's safe at that height anyway. Replace the latch I hadโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Interval

Within an hour of installation my daughter grabbed a chair, climbed on it and opened the pool gate. I was very disappointed to find that simply lifting the handle up was enough to open the mechanism. There is absolutely nothing to make it difficult for children. the monkey could do it. When my daughter saw me doing it, it was game over. Of course it comes with a key, but now you have to remember to lock it when you're not around. You won't always remember that. ONCE THAT EVERYTHING WILL GOโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Large and bulky

Difficult to install and not confident in durability

I work at a nursery and turn thousands of screws building poultry houses. Even with the pilot hole drilled, the Phillips head on these screws will peel off like butter when inserted into the metal stud. Self-tapping screws with a similar profile are very difficult to find commercially. They should be stronger (larger diameter) and have a square or hex head. I spent a whole day not being able to screw in all the screws and adjust the trap. Every time I went into a good build, the Phillips wouldโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Almost never
