Disclosed is a gate latch assembly comprising a gate latch cable including a pull loop on a first end of the cable, and a fitting on a second end of the cable, opposite the first end. In certain embodiments, the fitting is made from a zinc, zinc alloy, and/or aluminum which is die cast onto the second end of the cable and is configured to engage a gate latch and to maintain an alignment with a gate latch and/or pull loop such that a pull force on the cable is at an optimal alignment with the moment arm of the gate lock hook. In some embodiments, the end of the cable onto which the fitting material is die cast may be frayed.
