ABSTRACT:
A latch with multiple locking means comprising first, second and third supporting bases for attaching to the surface of a door, gate or jamb. The latch is engaged and disengaged by pivoting a striker through interstices defined between the supporting bases and first and second stirrup members. The latch is locked from the inside by securing a padlock through a passage created by an aperture in a handle and an aperture in a first stirrup member. Additional means of locking the latch is provided by a winged unit attached to the end of the striker. The winged unit engages a double-pronged keeper and is padlocked thereto. The double-pronged keeper comprises two inclining prongs along which the striker slides. Located on an upper portion of the inclining prongs are notches in which the striker fails and is securely held. Another means for locking the latch is provided by a pin which passes through an aperture in the handle and a coninciding aperture in the first stirrup member. A pivoting assemblage and locking means are provided such that the latch is operated and locked from the outside. The latch is mounted on either the right or left side of a door or gate.
