A gate locking device in combination with a first pipe of a gate closure of a chain link fence, the fence is of the type having a support framework with an overlay of interwoven wire, the fence having an opening defined by a pipework frame with a gate mounted hingeably therein at one side for closing said opening, the frame including said first and a second pipe, said device comprising:
- (a) a collar formed by a front piece and a back piece clamped to a first pipe opposite the hinged connection of said gate;
- (b) a lock member fixed to a face of one of said front piece and said back piece, said lock member having a lock bar translatable in a line perpendicular to said face;
- (c) an oar lock hingeably attached to said collar, movable between a first position where said gate is unlocked and a second position where said oarlock receives a second pipe, adjacent to said first pipe when said gate is in a closed position, within a forked shape portion of said oarlock to prevent relative movement of said first and second pipe in a direction perpendicular to the plane of said gate and thereby prevent opening said gate;
- and
- (d) a plate portion of said oarlock defining a locking opening for receiving said lock bar when said oarlock is moved to the second position and said lock bar is moved to a locking position to thereby prevent hinged movement of said oarlock and lock the gate.
