Abstract: A self-closing gate incorporating a child-proof latch designed for constructing enclosures restricting accessibility thereto by small children. The self-closing gate comprises a gate, first and second vertically extending gate posts positioned at each side of the gate, and upper and lower gate hinges extending between the first gate post and one side of the gate. The upper and lower gate hinges are non-vertically aligned so as to provide a self-closing action to the gate. A gate latch extends between the second gate post and the opposite side of the gate, which by means of its design, restricts the gate to opening in one direction only, thus allowing access to the latch only by reaching over the gate.
