Abstract
A push button-knob gate latch assembly comprising of: a knob handle, a Center bar (striker); and a gate latch assembly to be mounted to a fence/gate. The push button knob handle is mounted on the exterior of the stationary fence (on the wood post) and includes three round rods and other simple mechanical components which extend through the fence post and connect to the latching device which is secured to the inside of the fence (on the wood post). Pressing the push-button knob moves the center rod and pulls on the closed latch releasing the locking mechanism and freeing the center bar or the striker. Due to its special design, the gate latch locks down on the center bar every time the gate is pushed to a close position and assures a secure closed position.
