Recommended Pool Safety Hardware
Before installing your pool fence and gate, check your local pool and building codes to ensure the fence, gate and hardware are all in compliance. We also recommend reading through the US CPSC Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Pools. Remember, there is no single action that can prevent all pool and spa related drownings, but each pool safety step in coordination with the others can significantly reduce the risk of drowning and near-drowning accidents.

Pool Safety Gate Latches
Safety gate latches are an effective solution for preventing children from accessing pool areas when adult supervision is not possible. The opening mechanism is located out of reach and a magnetic latch ensures gates shut completely every time they are closed. The systems can also be locked/unlocked with a key.
Self-Closing Gate Hinges
Self-closing gate hinges are another effective tool to ensure gates close every time they are opened. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends all gates around pools be self-closing. Multiple varieties of self-closing hinges are offered by Nationwide Industries™.

Door, Window and Water Alarms
Pool, door and gate alarms add an extra layer of safety to swimming pools. Door alarms are recommended for homes that have doors that open direct to a pool area. In some states, they are required. Reference state laws and local codes for requirements and recommendations.
