Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention include a gate latching device having a first unit and a second unit configured to be operatively coupled by a shaft. The first unit can include a first locking mechanism and a latching mechanism that includes a latch and second unit can include a second locking mechanism, and a latch displacement mechanism. One of the first and second locking mechanisms is a key-actuated lock and the other is a keyless lock. The locking mechanism having a keyless lock may further include a latch displacement inhibitor to provide a multiple step operation to unlock the keyless lock to prevent operation by a child. The latch displacement mechanism can be operated to open the latch. The operation of the latch displacement mechanism can be prevented if the latch is locked and/or if it is being inhibited by the latch displacement inhibitor having an inhibit position and an uninhibited position.
