Premium Hinges and Latches for Glass Pool Fencing in Melbourne
When it comes to glass pool fencing and ensuring pool safety, every detail matters. While we often focus on the pool fence itself, it's the small yet essential components that form the foundation of a secure pool area. Pool gate hinges and latches, often overlooked, play a crucial role in maintaining that safety and durability. Whether you're planning to install a pool or are already a proud pool owner with a fence looking to maintain it, understanding the importance of these components is key.
Why are hinges and latches so Important?
Pool gate hinges and latches are the core of your glass pool fencing. The hinges allow the gate to open and close properly, while the latch ensures it stays securely closed, preventing children or pets from accessing the pool unsupervised. When these parts aren’t working properly, it can leave your pool vulnerable to accidents.
Aside from safety, these components also impact the look and longevity of your glass pool fence. Pool gate hinges and latches should be designed to endure harsh Aussie weather conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability for years.
What to look for when buying hinges and latches
When shopping for pool gate hinges and latches, there are a few key things to consider:
1. Safety Compliance: Ensure the products meet Australian standards, such as AS/NZS 1926.1-2012. This ensures your pool gate is secure and compliant with local regulations.
2. Durability: Since your glass pool gate is exposed to various conditions from all-day sun and wind to salty pool water splashes, it’s crucial to choose materials that resist corrosion. Stainless steel, especially 2205 Duplex Grade or 316 Stainless Steel, is ideal for ensuring longevity.
3. Smooth Operation: Pool gate hinges should allow for a smooth, controlled closing motion. Soft-close hinges are especially beneficial, as they gently close the gate without slamming, reducing wear and tear.
4. Security Features: Look for pool gate latches that are designed for secure closure and safety. Latches should be easy to operate but prevent unauthorised access, ensuring your pool area remains secure at all times.
