Securable cane bolt

The present invention is directed toward a bolt for securing a door or gate, and more particularly, toward a lockable bolt for securing a door or gate which bolt cannot be raised when the door or gate is closed. A securable cane bolt is provided that depends from the bottom of a gate or door and extends into the ground to hold the gate or door in a closed position. The securable cane bolt includes a hand-operated fastening member that prevents the bolt from being raised until the fastening member is released, which fastening member is covered and rendered inaccessible when a second gate is closed adjacent to the first gate.
