| Abstract | A selectively operable gate latch having a pair of latch arms which are independently movable between raised and extended positions. The latch is normally secured to the gatepost, and the arms are spaced apart to receive the gate when both are extended. One long and two short locking pins are selectively utilized to lock either or both of the arms in either position, in order to provide four basic latch configurations. To lock the gate closed, the long pin is inserted through transverse openings in the arms that are aligned when both arms are extended. To provide a gate stop or gate bump to prevent opening and closing of the gate except on one side, the two short pins are used to lock the arms in opposite positions (one arm raised and the other extended). The fourth basic configuration permits the gate to swing freely, thus both arms are locked in their raised positions either by the long pin or by both short pins. |
