Dear Sirs:
As you can see by the attached photos I need to replace a broken screen door latch from a Pella Screen door. Although in fact I have 5 broken latches that need replacing. I believe your part # 83-155 will work. My problem is how to get the latch mechanism off. My screens were installed in 1999 and I believe they are the Architecture series. I tried popping off the Pella seal to no avail, in fact I peeled off the whole appliqu

Hello! To remove the handle from the door, you will first need to pop off the circular Pella logo on the inside handle. That actually obscured the single installation screw that holds it in. Once that screw is out, firmly pull the handle out of the door. You can also watch the video below, which features a different style handle but goes over the same basic method of removal.

Yes! That round Pella logo can be removed, which will expose the screw underneath.

Is there a spring involved in the Pella 83-122 latch mechanism? I've replace the latch numerous times but now the latch itself is fine but it doesn't "spring" closed any longer.

There is a spring involved, but it's a separate part. Specifically, there's a little metal box built inside the door that contains the spring mechanism.

The bad news is that this box cannot be replaced to my knowledge. It's built solidly into the door. If it can be replaced, you will need to contact Pella directly to see if it's something that they can supply to you directly. Otherwise your only option may be to buy a new door (or find an old door you can take it from).
