Improvements made to the Lokk Latch Deluxe ensure easier installation

This article illustrates one reason I am proud to be a stocking D&D Technologies dealer. Back in 2007 the Lokk Latch Deluxe was unveiled as a replacement to the Lokk Latch Pro ( you can still purchase the Pro but it is a self-locking model ). The Deluxe matches the Pro feature for feature and has these added benefits:

• Vertical and Horizontal adjustment ( even after the latch is installed )


• A polymer push rod for easier fitting ( the polymer cuts easier than the old metal rod )


• Now fits up to a 6" thick post


• Fitting jig ensures proper alignment of the hole for the push rod


• One model works with ornamental ( square metal ), vinyl and wooden gates

With all of these added benefits and lower price we jumped on the bandwagon immediately. Now D&D has improved upon an already great product by reducing the installation time in half by adding the following features & improvements:

1. 2 different sized push rods included. Each scored with the sizes in 1/2 inch increments.


2. Easy to follow graphic instructions


3. The push rod now inserts 3/8" into the latch body instead of the old 3/16"


4. The new alignment guides ensure the latch body and the external access kit are centered in the pushrod hole.


5. The fitting jig now helps keep you from cutting the push rod too short.

With these improvements the Lokk Latch Deluxe is cemented firmly on our top sellers list, and for good reason :-)
