Description
Safetech Magnetic Side Pull Gate Latch – SLG-150K
The Safetech SLG-150K is a compact keyless magnetic side-pull gate latch designed to provide reliable self-latching operation with a clean, simple and unobtrusive appearance.
Particularly well suited to glass pool gates, the SLG-150K uses Safetech’s magnetic self-latching system to securely engage the latch as the gate returns to the closed position.
Unlike Safetech’s tall top-pull pool gate latches, the SLG-150K uses a compact side-pull release mechanism, making it an excellent option where the gate and surrounding barrier configuration allows a side-pull latch installation.
Manufactured from durable engineered polymers and rust-resistant stainless-steel components, the SLG-150K is designed for long-term outdoor use and can be installed on aluminium, glass, steel, timber and vinyl gate systems.
🧲 Magnetic Self-Latching System
The SLG-150K uses Safetech’s magnetic self-latching mechanism.
As the gate returns to the closed position, the magnetic mechanism draws the latch into engagement with the striker.
This provides reliable automatic latching when the gate, hinges and latch are correctly installed and aligned.
↔️ Side-Pull Operation
Rather than using the tall top-pull arrangement found on Safetech’s SL-50 series, the SLG-150K uses a compact side-pull release.
This provides a clean and convenient opening mechanism while keeping the overall latch installation compact.
The side-pull design is particularly attractive on modern aluminium and glass gate systems where bulky gate hardware can detract from the appearance of the installation.
🔓 Keyless Design
The SLG-150K is a keyless gate latch.
There is no key cylinder or key-operated locking mechanism incorporated into the latch.
This provides simple everyday operation without the need to carry, store or maintain gate keys.
🏊 Perfect for Glass Pool Gates
Safetech specifically identifies the SLG-150K as being ideal for glass pool gate installations.
Its compact construction and clean appearance complement frameless and semi-frameless glass fencing systems while providing reliable magnetic self-latching operation.
The latch can also be used with compatible gates manufactured from other materials.
🪟 Ideal for Modern Glass Fencing
The compact design makes the SLG-150K particularly suitable for modern glass fencing installations where maintaining a clean and minimal appearance is important.
Rather than using a large vertical latch body, the side-pull design keeps the gate hardware relatively discreet.
Typical applications include:
- Glass pool gates
- Frameless glass fencing
- Semi-frameless glass fencing
- Modern residential pool areas
- Architectural pedestrian gates
🇦🇺 Independently Tested to Australian Standards
Safetech states that the SLG-150K has been independently tested to Australian Standards.
This makes it suitable for compatible pool gate applications when correctly installed as part of a compliant pool barrier system.
Pool barrier compliance depends on the complete gate, latch, hinge, fence and surrounding barrier installation.
🔧 Fast & Easy Installation
Safetech describes the SLG-150K as one of the quickest and simplest latches in its range to install.
Only four screws are required to securely attach the side-pull latch to a compatible gate installation.
The simple mounting arrangement helps reduce installation time while still providing secure and reliable gate latching.
↔️ Horizontal Adjustment
The SLG-150K provides horizontal adjustment to assist with accurate alignment between the latch and striker.
This allows the installer to compensate for minor variations in:
- Gate-to-post spacing
- Gate alignment
- Hinge positioning
- Installation tolerances
- Gate construction
Correct horizontal alignment helps ensure reliable magnetic engagement.
↕️ Vertical Adjustment
The SLG-150K also provides vertical adjustment.
This allows the latch and striker to be fine-tuned after installation so the magnetic mechanism aligns correctly as the gate closes.
The combination of horizontal and vertical adjustment provides useful installation flexibility across different gate configurations.
🎯 Easy Alignment
Correct alignment between the latch and striker is essential for reliable magnetic self-latching operation.
The SLG-150K’s horizontal and vertical adjustment allows the installer to accurately position the components after mounting.
Once adjusted, the gate should be repeatedly tested to confirm that the latch consistently engages whenever the gate closes.
🚪 Reliable Automatic Latching
The magnetic mechanism is designed to securely latch the gate whenever it returns to the correct closed position.
When combined with correctly selected self-closing gate hinges, the SLG-150K can form part of a complete self-closing and self-latching gate system.
This is particularly important for swimming pool gate applications.
🔗 Ideal with Self-Closing Gate Hinges
The SLG-150K can be combined with suitable Safetech self-closing hinges where automatic gate closing is required.
Compatible hinge types may include suitable:
- TopKLIK adjustable-tension hinges
- AlfaHinge fixed-tension hinges
- AlfaWide fixed-tension hinges
- CoilKLIK self-aligning adjustable hinges
- MegaKLIK heavy-duty adjustable hinges
The correct hinge model should be selected according to the gate weight, dimensions, construction and required closing performance.
🧱 Engineered Polymer Construction
The SLG-150K incorporates durable engineered polymer components.
The polymer construction provides excellent resistance to outdoor exposure while avoiding many of the corrosion problems associated with conventional unprotected steel gate hardware.
This makes the latch particularly well suited to outdoor pool and pedestrian gate installations.
🔩 Rust-Resistant Stainless-Steel Components
Safetech combines the engineered polymer body with rust-resistant stainless-steel components.
This combination provides a durable gate latch system suitable for external applications where the hardware may be continually exposed to weather and moisture.
🌦️ Corrosion-Resistant Design
Corrosion resistance is particularly important around swimming pools and other exposed outdoor environments.
The SLG-150K’s combination of engineered polymer and rust-resistant stainless-steel components provides a practical alternative to conventional unprotected metal gate latches.
🏠 Suitable for Multiple Gate Materials
Safetech specifies the SLG-150K for use with a wide range of gate and fence materials.
Suitable applications include:
- Aluminium gates
- Glass pool gates
- Steel gates
- Timber gates
- Vinyl gates
This makes the SLG-150K a versatile solution for both new installations and compatible replacement applications.
🖤 Clean Black Finish
The SLG-150K is supplied in a black finish.
The compact black latch complements common black aluminium pool fencing while also providing a discreet appearance when used with glass, timber, steel and vinyl gate systems.
🏡 Residential Applications
The SLG-150K is suitable for a variety of residential gate installations.
Typical applications include:
- Swimming pool gates
- Glass pool fencing
- Pedestrian gates
- Side access gates
- Garden gates
- Aluminium gates
- Timber gates
- Steel gates
- Vinyl gates
The correct installation configuration should always be confirmed where the gate forms part of a regulated safety barrier.

⚠️ Please Note
The SLG-150K is a keyless magnetic side-pull latch and does not incorporate a key-operated locking mechanism.
Safetech specifically identifies the SLG-150K as suitable for glass pool gates and states that the product has been independently tested to Australian Standards.
Where the SLG-150K is installed as part of a swimming-pool barrier, the complete installation must comply with the applicable Australian Standards and local pool-safety requirements.
Pool barrier compliance depends on the complete gate, latch, hinges, fence and surrounding barrier installation and not the latch alone.
Side-pull latch suitability depends on the construction and configuration of the gate and surrounding barrier. The release mechanism must be positioned and installed in accordance with the applicable requirements for the particular installation.
Correct magnetic alignment is essential for reliable operation.
After installation, repeatedly test the gate to confirm that it reliably self-closes and that the magnetic latch securely engages without manual assistance.
