Gate latch system

A gate latch method, comprising:

• applying a pull force on a cable coupled to a lock hook of a gate latch for pulling the lock hook to an open position, the lock hook including a hole disposed within a top planar portion of the lock hook,
• wherein the lock hook is coupled to the cable via a fitting, the fitting being attached to the cable and releasably engaged through the hole in the lock hook, and wherein the fitting comprises:
• a first traverse segment snuggly engaged through the hole in the lock hook and in a general cross alignment to the cable,
• a first longitudinal segment extending continuously from an outer end of the first traverse segment towards the cable, the first longitudinal segment being in general alignment with the cable, the first longitudinal segment further including an internal wall configured to align against an external surface of an inner side segment of the lock hook, the inner side segment of the lock hook being adjacent the hole in the lock hook, and
• wherein the fitting is configured to maintain the cable in perpendicular alignment to an axis of rotation of the lock hook, the fitting further comprising a second traverse segment extending continuously from an end of the first longitudinal segment opposite the first traverse segment, the second traverse segment further extending inwards to form a slot together with the first traverse segment and the first longitudinal segment, wherein the inner side segment of the lock hook is captured within the slot.
