A gate latch of the type including a latch bar mounted for movement with a hinged gate and a latch bracket secured to a stationary gate post disposed for engagement with the latch bar when the gate is in a closed position includes an elongated wire cable having a first end secured to a pivotal latch lever mounted in the latch bracket. The pivotal latch lever includes a recess for partially surrounding the latch bar in a latched position. A second end of the cable extends through a bore in the gate post and is secured to an enlarged handle for manual tensioning of the cable to move the pivotal latch lever to an unlatched position. A pair of bushings are disposed in opposite outer end portions of the bore formed through the gate post and include exposed radially extending abutment flanges. A coil compression spring surrounds the elongated cable and includes a first end in abutment with one of the gate post bushings and a second opposite end in abutment with a crimping sleeve securing the cable to the pivotal latch lever. The coil spring biases the latch lever into a latched position. In use, an individual grasps the handle secured to the end of the cable and moves the latch lever to the unlatched position against the bias of the coil spring.
