Question: Have Easy-Fit products been independently tested?

Answer: Yes, the Easy Fit "Ultimate" magnetic gate latch and hinges have been tested by an Australian NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities) testing laboratory, accredited to undertake testing of fencing components to the tough Australian Standards, for gate units. The Easy Fit "Ultimate" magnetic gate latch and hinges passed the strict conditions of testing in accordance with the Australian Standard AS2820 - 1993, appendix B & C. View the test report here.

Question: How much horizontal adjustment does the Easy Fit latch have to allow for
ground movement of the post?

Answer: We have two models, the MK 2 "Ultimate" has 17mm (2/3 of an inch) adjustment of its Striker, and the MK 3 has up to 50mm (1.96 inches) horizontal adjustment.

Question: Why is it that only Easy Fit put two magnets in their latches?

Answer: It is becasue Easy-Fit latches are used as a child safety latch for swimming pools, that we incorporate extra safety measures to better protect your most precious assests. The addition of a second rare earth magnet creates a stronger magnetic field to latch the striker. We also attach a warning sticker on the front of the latch, to bring it to the notice of adults not to key lock the gate while the gate may be open.

Question: Is there a reason why the spring in the Easy Fit self closing spring hinges
are not made of stainless steel?

Answer: Our constant testing of stainless steel springs showed us that because of the small diameter of the spring that they suffer from fatigue and breakage at around 4000 closures. By using special high grade spring steel we obtain an exceptionally greater rate of gate closures. Well in excess of any standards that we know of.
