| Q |
Have our products been independently tested? |
| A |
Yes, the Easy Fit "Ultimate" magnetic gate latch and hinges have
been tested by an Australian NATA 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

| Q |
How much horizontal adjustment does the Easy Fit latch have to
allow for ground movement of the post? |
| A |
We have two models, the MK 2 "Ultimate" has 17mm ( ) adjustment
of its Striker, and the MK 3 has up to 50mm ( ) horizontal adjustment. |

| Q |
Why is it that only Easy Fit put two magnets in their latches? |
| A |
It was suggested during our testing procedures that because our
latch is used as a child safety latch for swimming pools, that we
incorporate extra safety measures, the extra magnet creates a better
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. |

| Q |
Is there a reason why the spring in the Easy Fit self closing spring
hinges are not made of stainless steel? |
| A |
Our constant testing of stainless steel springs showed us that
because of the small diameter of our 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. |
