ABSTRACT:
A gate latching mechanism includes a frame with a handle pivotally attached thereto. A locking member is connected to the handle and moves with it during operating conditions. The frame further includes brackets connected to the fence posts and the frame respectively that guide and receive the locking member. The present invention further includes a spring mechanism within the locking member, which includes a spring connected to a pin. Such a spring is stretched when the locking member is open and reaches equilibrium when the locking member is closed. The present invention further includes a specialized bracket for connecting the handle to the frame so that it may be selectively pivoted as desired by a user.
