The GL100 Ultra Security Gate Latch from Cargo Protectors is an extreme-duty solution engineered for maximum security on double drive chain link gates. Designed for industrial facilities, commercial properties, and high-risk access points, the GL100 provides a superior level of protection compared to standard gate latches. Its unique interlocking design secures both gate leaves together while shielding the padlock from tampering and bolt cutter attacks.
Unlike traditional double gate latches that rely on exposed locking points or drop rods, the GL100 eliminates ground engagement entirely while maintaining a highly secure connection. The latch is fully adjustable for gate openings from 3″ to 6″ and is compatible with both 2″ round gate frames and smaller 1-5/8″ frames using included spacers. This flexibility, combined with its heavy-duty construction, makes it one of the most robust and secure gate latching systems available for demanding applications.

Buying Guide: GL100 vs Fence-Loc Latches
The GL100 Ultra Security Latch is the best choice when maximum security is required for double drive gates. It is the heaviest-duty latch offered by Cargo Protectors and is designed for high-risk or high-value areas where tamper resistance is critical.
For standard industrial applications, the Fence-Loc FL100 provides excellent security with a simpler bolt-on installation and adjustable fit for most gate openings.
If you are fabricating a gate or want a permanent, non-removable solution, the Fence-Loc FL200 installs directly into the gate structure during fabrication and maintains consistent alignment over time.
Compared to both options, the GL100 provides the highest level of protection with a more robust design and enhanced padlock shielding, making it the preferred choice for high-security installations.
