Abstract
A gate latch assembly selectively operable in a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration to secure a gate in a closed position to block or obstruct a portal in a fence or wall allowing any one of a plurality of users to independently unlock the gate latch assembly and open the gate having a latch frame including a gate latch pivotally coupled to the upper portion thereof movable between first or closed position and a second or open position, a lock tab support formed on the lower portion thereof to support a plurality of lock tabs corresponding to the plurality of users each selectively and independently vertically slideable on the latch frame and horizontally removable from the latch frame such that when the entire plurality of lock tabs is mounted on the latch frame the proximal portion of the gate latch engages the upper most lock tab to prevent movement of the gate latch from the closed position to the open position and when at least one of the plurality of lock tabs is removed from the latch frame a clearance is created between the proximal end of the gate latch and the upper most lock tab allowing the gate latch to be pivoted from the closed position to the open position to permit the gate to be opened.
