Mater makes locks??? I just thought he was the world's fastest backward driver. Shows what I know.

I don't know what brand the lock is but will look when I get home.

The one I got is as shown below. Mine is the TL9 that is said to work on gates from 87-96. But our gates are so close to those that many have swapped them, so I'm thinking it'll work.

Ahhhhhh! Cross-purposes. I was taking about a lock to keep the gate from opening, and you were talking about one to keep it from being removed. That one looks good for that.

Yeah, I figured we were thinking two different things. I'm just not sure if the Master Lock one, will work or not.
