Hi All,

Got a busted door latch on my sliding door. How do I fix it? I am assuming that there is a spring of some kind that keeps the latch in place and that its either broken or popped off the unit. Is this correct?

TIA

Lostboy, welcome to the forums. You will find we ask more questions than you do, so here goes: Do you know the manufacturer of the door, or could you post a picture of the latch on a site such as photobucket or others so we can see what you see. We may can tell what kind of latch it is or what will replace or fix it.
