ABSTRACT:
A positive gate latch having a striker bar and two vertical catch members held in place by two sleeves secured to a base. When the catch members are down, the striker bar (often referred to as a gate tongue) cannot move in either direction. The catch members are attached to an operating bar, allowing passage when activated from either direction. The gate latch may be locked in three separate positions, allowing passage in only one direction or may be locked allowing no passage in either direction. The latch is designed primarily for use on tubular structures, such as chain link fence.
