Close fitting gate

摘要

A gate which hingedly fits closely between two spaced apart fence posts is provided. The gate has a hinge side member which extends directly adjacent a fence post. The hinge side member includes offset portions, each of which is displaced from the respective fence post by a gap. A hinge extends from the fence post across the gap of each offset portion to hingedly couple the gate to the fence post. The gate also has a latch side member which may be removably secured about another fence post. A sleeve having a gate latch coupled thereto is rotatably coupled about the latch member. The latch member has a slot extending therethrough and the sleeve has a notch extending therethrough. The sleeve may be rotated to a locking position on the latch side member where the notch is located over a portion at the slot. A rod extends inside of the latch side member. The rod has a cap end and a hooked end. The hooked end of the rod may be adjusted in the slot and notch by moving the cap end. The hooked end adjusts to lock and unlock the sleeve and the gate latch.
