Pella sliding screen door handle Replacement

Question

I need to replace your part # 83-115 latch in my pella sliding screen door handle. I saw your video on how to do it, but I have a different inside handle and I cannot tell how to remove it to take off the thumb latch and lock lever as per your video. My inside handle (inside plate as per yr video) is all wood and I cannot see how it can be removed. There are no visable screws holding it to the door frame. I have included a picture of it. Do you know how this handle is removed so I can follow your video to relace the latch 83-115?

Thanks for contacting us! This is actually a fairly common issue, but fortunately it has a fairly simple solution! Do you see the round gold Pella logo on the handle? The screw is underneath that. All you need to do is pry the logo off with a flat head screw driver. Let me know if this helps!
