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.
