ABSTRACT:
A gate latch is provided for locking a hingeably mounted gate to a latch post. A gate latch is mounted to either the gate or post by a mounting means. The mounting means extends from a lock housing having a locking means disposed therein. Extending from the housing is an oarlock means. The oarlock means is pivotal between a first locked position and a second unlocked position. The locking means automatically locks the oarlock means in the first locked position when the oarlock pivots from the second position to the first position. Also provided is a key lock means normally biased to a locked position which may be used to unlock the oarlock from the first lock position and permit the pivotal movement of the oarlock between the first and second positions.
