ABSTRACT:
In a gate or similar closure suitable for temporary and quick installation across a passageway comprised of a vertical barrier, frame, and pivotable gate within the frame, a locking apparatus is provided which allows quick and easy width changes of the closure within various widths of passageways. The locking apparatus does not require disassembly from the closure in order to change the width of the passage. The locking apparatus includes rail engaging hooks which wrap substantially circumferentially around the rails of the vertical barrier. The closure is braced in the passageway and locked into position by conventional clamp screws being tightened against the side walls of the passageway, thus forcing the rails into slots defined by the hooks.
