Pella Screen Door Latch
Hello! This looks to be a match for our 85-016 Pella screen door strike kit. Look it over and let me know what you think.
Please note that the individual components of this kit are not sold separately. Pella only supplies these as one complete assembly.
I think I see what you mean. We unfortunately don't have official Pella instructions for these, but in my experience it just screws to the door. The plastic piece should also go in that top slot. The images below should show you what I mean, I pulled these from an older customer discussion.
I suppose it's possible that the plastic piece can work in a lower position but I've never tried it myself. Perhaps the original installers had to make an on-the-fly adjustment to get it to work. Or, they installed it wrong. I really can't say unfortunately. All I can tell you is that I always install this with the plastic piece in the top slot, as shown below.
