#KEEP SCREEN ON SCREEN DOOR HOW TO#

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.

Can you tell us where we can get a replacement part or how to fix this so we don't have to do this everytime? Thanks, Dena Answer 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. 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. Question Hi, 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 Screen Door Lock Broken. 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.

Any ideas? 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.
