Testimonial – SAFETY Certifier Mick Storch

In this article we hear from Mick Storch, Founder & Managing Director of Mackay Safety a trusted and comprehensive safety compliance service provider.

With over a decade of experience as a QLD Pool Safety Inspector, I've assessed and repaired countless pool fences and gates, encountering a wide variety of pool latches and hinges in the process. Based on this extensive background, I can confidently assert that D&D Technologies' latches and hinges surpass all others in terms of reliability, durability, and user-friendliness.

D&D Technologies distinguishes itself with its superior adjustability. Their MagnaLatch® pool safety latches allow for effortless vertical and horizontal adjustments, greatly simplifying the installation and maintenance process. This feature alone enables us to not only meet but exceed safety standards, setting a new benchmark for the industry.

What truly sets D&D Technologies apart is their innovative MagnaLatch® technology. As someone with a mechanical background, I particularly value the sophisticated, independent fail-safe mechanism D&D integrates into their MagnaLatch®. The MagnaLatch® safety gate latches are meticulously engineered for reliability, genuinely standing as the market's most dependable option. Additionally, D&D's TruClose® adjustable spring-type hinges are not only remarkably easy to adjust but also consistently reliable, making them the ideal choice for pool gates. The unparalleled reliability of TruClose® hinges further underscores the company's unwavering commitment to quality.

In summary, for anyone prioritising top-tier pool safety, my preference is to opt for D&D Technologies. Their unmatched design expertise, reliability, and ease of use are indeed without parallel in the pool safety equipment sector.
