Description
The Quick Lock Latch addresses the frustration commonly associated with traditional spring-loaded safety latches used in mesh pool fences. Unlike its predecessor, which often complicates the process of connecting or disconnecting fence sections due to rotational issues and cover difficulties, the Quick Lock Latch simplifies this task to a few intuitive steps.
This innovative latch system comprises several components: a Quick Lock Latch Bracket, Quick Link, Eye Screw, Spacer, and Screw, all crafted from durable black anodized aluminum for both strength and aesthetic appeal.
Installation Process:
- Preparation: Identify the two poles intended for connection using the Quick Lock Latch.
- Attachment: Remove the top screw from each pole and insert the larger screw provided with the Quick Lock Latch through the middle hole on the right side of the latch bracket.
- Spacer Placement: Position the round spacer between the Quick Lock Latch and the pole.
- Secure Fixation: Tighten the large screw into the top hole of the pole on the right.
- Eye Screw Installation: Insert the eye screw into the top hole of the pole on the left and securely tighten until it bottoms out.
- Latch Closure: To close the Quick Lock Latch, pass the eye of the eye screw through the keyhole shape on the latch and then secure it by passing the quick link through the eye of the eye screw.
Adjustable Tension: The Quick Lock Latch offers the flexibility of three tension levels. By relocating the screw from the middle hole to either the right (for decreased tension) or left (for increased tension), users can fine-tune the tension of the fence at each connection point. This feature not only enhances safety but also ensures a tighter and more visually appealing installation.
Tips for Installation:
- Ensure the opening of the eye screw faces towards the three round holes on the Quick Lock Latch to prevent snagging.
- For enhanced security, consider substituting the quick link with a brass lock.
Compatibility and Upgrades: Existing pool fence installations can be easily upgraded to incorporate the Quick Lock Latch. Simply replace the existing spring-loaded latch while retaining the eye screw in place. Follow the standard installation procedure, adjusting tension as required using any of the three attachment holes.
