As luck what have it the screen door latch has failed. (using the true and tested bungee cord keeping closed method at this time) Two questions. 1. Looking for a direct replacement - can anyone direct me to a place? 2. Maybe an improved version not so easy to break part.
Thank you,
Glen

Replacement is here. Please note the fact it says Designer means it is really cheaply made. Amazon.com: RV Designer E285 Black Screen Door Latch: Automotive (https://www.amazon.com/RV-Designer-E285-Black-Screen/dp/B000BRJTZE)
I believe it is illegal to manufacture a durable product in the RV industry.

"...I believe it is illegal to manufacture a durable product in the RV industry..."
The simple fact that it is plastic has made me very cautious as to how I use this latch.
No slamming allowed.
I try my very best to bring the two doors together and gently activate the latch. That being said...Its time to get a back up.
Easy does it.

Done deal...mines on its way.

Thanks Jim. <sigh> I agree. I would have no problem paying more for an item if it I can get my money's worth.
Put the new latch on order.
Because we had cats, I installed a pair of screen door closure springs:
RV Screen Door Closer Kit - Camco (http://www.camco.net/product/rv-screen-door-closer-kit-10208/)
....which close the door hard and fast. No problems with the latch through several years now, so I think it is pretty sturdy. Consider it a sacrificial item that will break before you destroy the door by walking through it in a rush!
