• T-Bar Interlocking Design — Allows padlock access from both sides of the gate for convenience and security.
• Built-In Bolt Cutter Protection — Shields the padlock from tampering and cutting attempts.
• No Drop Rod Required — Eliminates ground sleeves and rod maintenance for a cleaner, more reliable setup.
• Maintains Fixed Alignment — Installs between tension bands to hold consistent latch height and positioning.
• Fits 2" Round Gate Frames — Designed for heavy-duty industrial chain link gate systems.
• Adjustable Gate Opening Range — Accommodates approximately 2" to 6" spacing between gate leaves.

The Fence-Loc FL200 Heavy Duty Permanent Double Drive Industrial Gate Latch from Cargo Protectors is a high-security solution designed to be permanently integrated into chain link gate systems during fabrication. Installed directly on the gate frame and positioned between the tension bands that secure the chain link fabric, the FL200 maintains a consistent height and alignment over time—eliminating shifting, sagging, or misalignment issues common with bolt-on latches.

This latch features a patented T-bar interlocking mechanism that captures both gate leaves and protects the padlock from bolt cutters, helping ensure the gate remains locked even if external fasteners are compromised. Unlike retrofit solutions such as the Fence-Loc FL100 Double Drive Gate Latch, the FL200 is built directly into the gate during fabrication, making it a more permanent and tamper-resistant option for high-security installations.

Why Choose the Fence-Loc FL200 Gate Latch?

• Permanent, Built-In Security — Cannot be easily removed or tampered with after installation.
• Consistent Alignment Over Time — Fixed between tension bands to prevent movement or sagging.
• Superior Security vs Bolt-On Latches — More secure than retrofit options like the FL100.
• No Ground Hardware Needed — Eliminates drop rods and ground sleeves.
• Dual-Sided Operation — Allows access from both sides of the gate.
• Heavy-Duty Industrial Performance — Designed for demanding commercial environments.

Specifications

Installation

1. Install the latch components during fabrication of the gate frame.
2. Position between the tension bands that secure the chain link fabric.
3. Ensure proper alignment so the T-bar mechanism engages smoothly.
4. Secure permanently as part of the gate assembly.
5. Use a padlock to secure the gate during operation.

Buying Guide: FL200 vs FL100 vs Strong Arm Latches

The Fence-Loc FL200 is the best choice for new gate builds where maximum durability and tamper resistance are required. Because it is permanently installed during fabrication, it provides long-term alignment and security advantages over retrofit solutions.

If you are working with an existing gate, the FL100 Fence-Loc latch is the preferred bolt-on alternative that offers similar security benefits with easier installation.

Compared to a strong arm latch, which is commonly used on lighter-duty or single gates, the FL200 provides significantly higher security. Strong arm latches rely on simple engagement and can become misaligned or easier to defeat over time, while the FL200 physically locks both gate leaves together and protects the padlock—making it ideal for industrial yards, storage facilities, and commercial properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
