Prime-line MP164 Sliding Screen Door Acorn Latch Kit

Product Description

The PRIME-LINE MP164 is a surface-mount sliding screen door latch kit designed for Acorn-style screen doors. Constructed from diecast metal with a natural zinc finish, this spring-loaded latch body pulls outward to disengage the keeper fin on the door jamb, allowing the door to open. The non-handed design works on both left-hand and right-hand sliding screen doors. Mounting holes are spaced 1.25 inches on center. All necessary mounting hardware is included, making this a straightforward drop-in replacement or new installation for qualified installers and experienced DIYers.

This latch kit is suited for residential sliding screen door applications where the original Acorn-style latch hardware has worn, broken, or gone missing. It installs directly to the door face as a surface-mount unit without requiring mortising or special cutouts. The single-pack format is appropriate for a single door replacement. Installers should measure existing mounting hole spacing and compare overall latch dimensions before ordering to confirm fitment with the existing door and jamb configuration.

Verify smooth keeper fin engagement and disengage action after installation before returning the door to service.
