Gate multi-locking apparatus

Gate multi-locking apparatus comprising, in combination:

• a gate having a gate end and movable between an open position and a closed position;
• a first housing attached to said gate at or near said gate end and defining a first housing interior;
• a structural member adjacent to said gate end;
• a second housing attached to the structural member and defining a second housing interior;
• a rigid double-ended latch bar positioned externally of said first and second housings and extending therebetween to prevent movement of said gate from said closed position to said open position;
• a first latch bar support slidably supporting said latch bar externally of said first housing, extending into said first housing and having a distal end portion positioned within said first housing interior;
• first stabilizer structure defining a stabilizer structure opening located within said first housing interior engaging and stabilizing the distal end portion of said first latch bar support;
• a second latch bar support spaced from said first latch bar support slidably supporting said latch bar externally of said second housing, extending into said second housing and having a distal end portion positioned within said second housing interior, the distal end portions of said first and second latch bar supports defining latch bar support openings;
• second stabilizer structure defining a stabilizer structure opening located within said second housing interior engaging and stabilizing the distal end portion of said second latch bar support;
• a first lock member extending through the latch bar support opening of said first latch bar support and through the stabilizer structure opening of said first stabilizer structure locking said first latch bar support to said first housing to prevent said first latch bar support and said latch bar from being separated from said first housing;
• a second lock member extending through the latch bar support opening of said second latch bar support and through the stabilizer structure opening of said second stabilizer structure locking said second latch bar support to said second housing to prevent said second latch bar support and said latch bar from being separated from said second housing;
• and
• at least one padlock in the first housing interior releasably connected to said first lock member to selectively retain said first lock member in the latch bar support opening defined by said first latch bar support and in the stabilizer structure opening of said first stabilizer structure, and at least one padlock in the second housing interior releasably connected to said second lock member to selectively retain said second lock member in the latch bar support opening defined by said second latch bar support and in the stabilizer structure opening of said second stabilizer structure, removal of a padlock from either of said first and second lock members enabling complete removal of a lock member from a latch bar support opening and a stabilizer structure opening and separation of a latch bar support and latch bar from a housing whereby the latch bar will not prevent movement of said gate to said open position.
