Screen door closer to automatically close the screen door Do you have any suggestions of a tension latch or magnet catch? Thank you for your help. There is a latch/lock but not for when you are not outside. Everything works fine except when you close the screen or don't close it softly or bump it it will open. We just installed a new patio sliding door and screen. If I can put it back, please show or tell me how. Can you tell if it is broken or just needs to be put back in. I have attached a photo of the plastic piece. I found a plastic piece laying on the floor below. It should have a catch of some sort to keep it in place, but I think it fell out. Early summer it quit staying out of the way. I have a Pella sliding door with the screen on the inside. If you have no luck at the glass shops call or email and I will see if I can pick one up and mail it to you.

The 7/16' should work if you stuck a washer or two behind it. Many of Canada's biggest window companies are in Vaughan. I live in Vaughan, Ontario.Ī glass shop would be the best place to look, there have to be some in Vaughan. Where can I find the screen door latch as shown in the picture ? I have tried Home Depot but they don't have it.

I have a few different styles of screen door lock, call me or email at the numbers on the home page How and where can I find a lock replacement or fix it myself. I do not want to buy a complete new screen door. It slid into a small metal piece on the door frame. The door, where you slide it open, had a small latch inside that would go up and down to lock or unlock. It is an aluminum screen patio door 36 inches wide. I also have a screen lock that is broken.

If you can post a picture of the lock you have, I might be able to tell you if there are parts available for it. Hi Dena, I have a few different kinds of locks that you can mount on the screen door to take the place of the one thats broken.

We put the tip of the screwdriver in the circular outer part that turns the lock up and down into the door jam.Ĭan you tell us where we can get a replacement part or how to fix this so we don't have to do this everytime? Is this true? This sounds nuts! Is there a way to fix the locking portion? Right now we are using a screw driver everytime we need to get in and out of the door. My husband said he can't find the replacement part and he said that to fix it we would need to replace the whole door. We have a screen door and the locking mechanism is now broken. The string is spring loaded and pulls the door shut after its been opened It has a string which attaches to the door and a plastic housing which mounts to the jamb. One of the simplest ones works like a retractable leash. There are a number of different screen door closers that automatically close the door after its been used. We have tried using strong magnets but that doesn't work. Our only solution is to lock it but if we are outside, obviously this doesn't work so well! We were hoping to find a dual sided lock that can be accessed if we are in or out. We have a cat that needs to remain indoors- however- he loooves the outdoors and very easily can get our sliding screen door to slide open for him by pawing at the base opening.
