The mounting bracket is connected to a first fence portion while the latch bar is connected to the second fence portion. The faceplate is connected to the mounting bracket through the use of a fastener positioned within the faceplate's central aperture. The faceplate is capable of being rotated about the central aperture. The faceplate includes locking apertures for receiving padlocks. The faceplate, mounting bracket, and latch bar each include apertures for receiving the locking pin. The faceplate and the latch bar can each include a plurality of apertures for receiving the locking pin.

Abstract: An improved post comprising a continuous filament fiberglass reinforced resin rod, any hollow post or pipe, and a filler material. The filler material may be selected from a number of materials including, but not limited to, a high compressive strength material such as grout that comprises Portland cement, calcium sulphoaluminate, graded fine to powdery sand, and water or a rigid closed cell urethane foam. The method of installing said post comprising driving said rod into the surface of the ground; placing said post over said rod; and inserting said filler into the space between said rod and the inside of said post. The disclosed post is self-realigning because of the rebounding nature of the rod allowing the post to remain upright or return to plumb after being knocked out of vertical alignment by an outside force.
