ABSTRACT:
A latching assembly for the partition gate of livestock trailers allows for the partition gate to be opened from inside the trailer as well as outside the trailer. The outside opening device includes a handle in communication with a latch plate pivotally mounted inside the trailer and which is constantly biased toward a normal lock position adapted to block or retain the swinging edge member of the gate when in a closed position. By pulling on the handle, the plate is displaced toward the trailer wall, against the action of the biasing device, and allows the gate to swing open. An internal handle is rotatably pivotable about its mount on the gate so that when pulled downwardly, causes the latch plate which to be outwardly displaced, out of the way of the gate to allow the gate to swing open.
