How to Repair or Replace the Sliding Screen Door Latching Mechanism
A sliding screen door latch is designed to close the sliding screen door and I don’t want to say lock it, because it’s not a lock. It’s a latch. The latch strike is the part of the mechanism that holds the door in place when it’s closed. People mistakenly also call the strike plate the “latch” because it latches the door shut. These terms can be confusing.
Here’s how to fix it.
If you’ve got a broken sliding screen door latch or it’s just missing all together, then it’s time to get a new one. Be sure to buy it right here on the Best Custom Screens website.. You can replace the entire mechanism (which is usually pretty easy) or just replace the latch itself. You will need a cordless drill and a #2 Phillips bit.
Check the Strike Plates
- To check whether the strike plate is loose, remove it and try to close the door.
- If the strike plate is moving around or broken then you will need to replace it.
- However, if it’s loose then the door will not latch properly.
- You may need to adjust the height or rollers until the latch lines up correctly.
- Tighten one screw first and then when aligned tighten down the second screws.
- Test the latch and you’re all set.
If you find the track is worn out or causing issues, don’t forget to check out our sliding screen door track repair guide.
Test the Latch
If you’ve got a broken latch strike, there’s no need to panic. It’s easy to fix! First, remove the screws holding the latch in place. Then, pull the latch out of its hole. Next, slide the latch back into the hole. Finally, replace the screws.
