SWIMMING POOL ACCESS
Doors and Gates that access a pool or spa area must remain closed at all times – except when you are entering or exiting the Pool or Spa area.
To satisfy the Swimming Pool Regulations in your particular State you must check with your local Council or obtain a copy of the current regulations from your State building authority so you understand what is allowed.
POOL SELF CLOSING SLIDING DOORS
Where regulations allow, Sliding Doors can be fitted with hydraulic sliding door closers and self latching devices to suit your doors.

For Sliding Doors to be suitable for our systems, the door must be operating with minimal friction when closing. Once installed, the Door Closing System will make your Doors heavier to operate. Maximum opening of your Doors will need to be restricted to approximately 1100mm for system to work. It is possible to put closers on Double Doors where doors meet in the middle but with Stacker or Bifold Doors you can only have the last closing door as an active door (the other moveable leaves must be fixed permanently).
POOL SWING DOORS
- Depending on council regulations, doors and gates can be set up to act as a safety barrier to your Pool or Spa.
- Doors that open onto a pool or spa area require a good quality Door Closer to reliably control the Door and ensure it closes into a Self Latching Device which must be located at 1500 mm from the highest floor surface.
French Door, fitted with an architectural Slide arm Door Closer, painted to match door color. Typical set up for this type of Double Door is to lock one door off permanently and fit the closer to the remaining active door.
Door closers can be fitted to ether PUSH SIDE (as left) or PULL SIDE (as below left) or INVERTED (push side shown below right) of doors i.e. the inside or outside depending on the type of door frames you have, whether you have curtains or blinds in place or unusual brick reveals or limited height above the doors.
Self Latching Devices can be installed on both timber or aluminium doors. These need to be installed at 1500mm.
