Locinox FORTIMA-SD-K Magnetic Gate Latch Square Posts

Product Description

The LOCINOX FORTIMA-SD-K is a magnetic child-safe gate latch engineered for single-leaf gates mounted to square frame posts. It uses a patented internal leverage mechanism to deliver smooth, reliable operation while maintaining strong magnetic closure. The anodized aluminum housing and powder-coated components resist corrosion in extreme weather conditions across any climate. The latch is rekeyable to a Schlage-C key-in-knob cylinder, five-pin drilled for six-pin, allowing it to match existing keying on a site. Installation does not require specialized tooling and is compatible with metal, vinyl, and wooden gate materials.

The FORTIMA-SD-K is designed for single-leaf gate applications in residential and commercial settings including pool enclosures, parks, and fenced recreational areas. It is specifically configured for square frame posts and is available separately in a round-post version. The latch accommodates gate gaps from 10 millimeters up to 45 millimeters and provides full vertical adjustability along with 25 millimeters of horizontal adjustability. This range of adjustment makes it practical for new installations and retrofit work on existing gate frames. It is built to be compatible with most international code requirements applicable to pool and park perimeter gates.
