In an improved child security fence system or pool gate, pole adapters are used for locking together two panels of the fence or pool gate. The pole adaptors are inserted into the support poles of two adjacent fence panels. The two panels are then attached to one another by a lock that bridges the two pole adaptors. The pole adaptors and the lock all have holes drilled through them that align with each other when assembled. Tension clips are positioned inside each pole adaptor so that dimples or tabs extend from the clips and through the aligned holes. In order to disengage the lock, the dimples or tabs from the clips must be simultaneously depressed at four points of the locking assembly.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A system for securely locking together at least first and second adjacent fence panels, the first and second fence panels having adjacent end posts, said system comprising:first and second adapters fixedly connected to a top end of each adjacent end post;a lock element having first and second cup members fixedly connected to each other via a bridge member, said first and second cup members being formed to slidably fit over said first and second adapters when the first and second fence panels are aligned with each other so as to fixedly maintain the first and second panels in alignment with each other; andfirst and second resilient locking elements operatively mounted within said first and second adapters, respectively, so as to resiliently lock said first and second adapters with said first and second cup members, respectively.
