D&D Technologies
D&D Technologies is an Australian gate-hardware specialist best known for inventing the MagnaLatch®—a magnetic, child-safety gate latch that became a global go-to for pool and perimeter gate safety. The company was established in the late 1980s and built its reputation on solving the annoying real-world problems of gates: rust, sag, binding, and “why is this latch suddenly possessed?”
What they make
D&D’s range is essentially “everything that makes a gate behave”:
-
MagnaLatch® magnetic safety latches (including the MagnaLatch ALERT variants that combine a latch + alarm concept in one unit)
-
TruClose® self-closing hinges, built with engineering polymers + stainless components to avoid corrosion, staining, and sagging, and designed to be adjustable and installer-friendly
-
LokkLatch® gate latches/locks and other privacy/security gate hardware aimed at residential and light commercial perimeter security
They’re strongly associated with pool safety compliance and family safety messaging, but they also explicitly sell heavy-duty gate hardware for commercial, industrial, and automated gates.
Where they’re based / footprint
D&D lists operations in Frenchs Forest, NSW (Australia) and a US presence via D&D Technologies (USA) Inc. in Huntington Beach, California. Notably, their contact emails use the assaabloy.com domain, reflecting their current group ownership.
Ownership
As of 2 May 2024, ASSA ABLOY announced it had acquired D&D Technologies, adding it to the ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions brand portfolio.
Our range includes premium gate hardware from D&D Technologies, designed to provide reliable security and safety for home, garden, and pool gates.
This curated selection features:
- MagnaLatch® Magnetic Latches: Highly reliable magnetic gate latches, including standard and lockable Side Pull models, alongside the advanced Series 3 Top Pull latch with an integrated electronic alarm.
- LokkLatch® Gate Locks: Key-lockable gravity latches that remove the need for padlocks. We stock the single-sided locking latch and the LokkLatch Deluxe, which offers dual-sided key access and fits square posts up to 150mm.
- TruClose® Self-Closing Hinges: Tension-adjustable hinges to ensure gates close securely. Available in regular models (for gates up to 30kg) and heavy-duty versions (for gates up to 70kg), with options tailored for both wooden and metal gates.
Constructed from weather-resistant polymers and stainless steel, these components are easily adjustable to ensure smooth, long-lasting operation.
