Abstract: A gate latch comprises a tubular support and a latch member having a shaft portion mounted within the tubular support for rotation therein and a latch portion, extending axially outwardly from the shaft portion, having at least one peripheral projection extending axially outwardly from the shaft portion. Spacing defined by the at least one projection is such as to permit entry therein of a complemental gate locking bar extending from a complemental gate. The locking bar has a locking element at its free end to engage within the spacing defined by the at least one projection in order to lock the gate relative to the tubular support. A combination of the gate latch with the complemental gate locking bar and gate is also disclosed.

Abstract: A gate latch is described comprising a tubular support, a latch member having a shaft portion mounted within said tubular support for rotation therein and a latch portion extending axially outwardly from said shaft portion having at least two peripherally, substantially equispaced, projections extending axially outwardly from said shaft portion, said spacing being such as to permit entry between adjacent projections of a complemental gate locking bar extending from a complemental gate, said locking bar having locking means at its free end to engage one or other of said adjacent projections to lock the gate relative to said tubular support.A combination of the above gate latch and the complemental gate locking bar and gate described above is also disclosed.
