Abstract
Disclosed herein is an improved gate latch for holding a gate locked with a fence. A striker component is adapted inside an elongated housing. The striker component has a first rod and a second rod, each passing through a spiral coil. A ring-shaped structure is also provided at one end of the second rod. Further, an engagement assembly is provided that has a lock cylinder and a retainer. The lock cylinder is operated using a key to move the retainer in and out of the ring-shaped structure. The retainer is received by the ring-shaped structure when the gate latch is in a locked position. A spring mechanism provided with the lock cylinder that allows the key to always come back to its lock position without getting stuck in any other position.
