The PDS® Top Lock fence slat provides an economical and attractive way to enhance any chain link fence. This design utilizes a top locking mechanism located near the top of the slats to ensure a clean, straight edge, further enhancing its appearance. With over 40 years of experience extruding this product and an exclusive, patented, locking design, you can be assured of the highest standards in quality—from the raw materials used in manufacturing to the finished product in your fence.
Top Lock slats are sold in bags which provide approximately 10 linear feet of coverage (each bag contains 82 individual slats). All slats are also approximately 2" shorter that the actual height of fence.
Easy installation, there is no need to kneel down! To install, simply insert the slats vertically from top to bottom, keeping the locking holes on top. Next, thread the flexible locking channel horizontally through the notched holes in the slats. No special tools are needed, but a pair of Fence Pliers come in handy to straighten any wire that is deformed or bent.
Note: The Top Lock Chain Link Fence Slat is designed to work with a fence that has a mesh size of 2" or larger. This means that they will typically work well with a 12 gauge, 11-1/2 gauge, 11 gauge, 9 gauge, 8 gauge, or 6 gauge chain link fence mesh. It is best to double check your mesh size before ordering.
DESIGN: Top Lock Slats are flat and tubular in shape, with circular, notched-out holes located near the top of the slat.
STANDARD HEIGHTS: 4', 5', 6', 7', and 8'. 10' and 12' available on request. If you have a fence that is higher than the measurements shown, you can always double a common height to accomplish the task (i.e. If you have a 10' high chain link fence, simply use (2) 5' slats).
SLAT LENGTH: 2" shorter than overall height of fence.

Here are some photos from a recent installation in Akron, OH featuring an outdoor chain link security fence with a pitched roof. Extra security and privacy is achieved with Lock-Top PVC Slats. Users gain access through a double chain link swing gate, hung with malleable industrial arm hinges, and secured with a robust DAC Industries DAC-4000 double gate latch, which eliminates the need for a drop rod.
