AccessLatch is a simple to install, no power/battery solution that enables Child Safety Gate Locks to be opened with the use of an MLAK key by people in wheelchairs or that are of short stature. They work with the Magnalatch range of products, providing an alternate key-operated base unit that allows the gate to be opened from a lower height whist remaining child-safe and compliant with self-latching requirements.
NOTE: The AccessLatch does not change the normal use of a MagnaLatch, it simply provides an additional way of opening a gate for people with disability at an accessible-height without compromising child safety.
