Claim Text:
1. A gate keeper for latching a movable gate, the gate keeper comprising: a gate latch constructed of a rigid length of material, the rigid length of material being bent such that the gate latch has a base region, an extending region, and a u-shaped region; and a connector which circumposes a T-post, wherein the connector retains the gate latch on the T-post between an adjacent pair of a plurality of studs arranged along an outer surface of the T-post, thereby permitting a relative position of the gate latch on the T-post to be varied, and the connector permits the gate latch to pivot on an axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the T-post, thereby allowing the gate latch to latch around a horizontal rail of the movable gate.
