I was looking for a screen door keeper / latch to go with my AGC Sliding Screen Door which was installed in October 2019.

I have attach photos of the screen door (which is missing a strike).

Hello, Matthew. We don't have an exact match for this screen door handle but it doesn't look super complex. We may be able to find a reasonable substitute. Before I recommend anything, can you tell me the distance between the two installation holes, center-to-center. Can you also tell me if there is an internal latch for this or if it's just an inner and outer pull?

Hello Tom,

Thank you for the Quick Response. I have a AGC Sliding Door and Screen.

The Screen Door Does have a cutout interior section in the middle, for an internal latch but there is no latch installed.

There actually was never a latch installed on the opposite frame, so I do not know what to say about the distance between the door and the frame, other than the set-in on the interior internal latch looks to be about a half-inch or so.

It sounds like someone installed a pull on your door but never bothered to put in a latch or keeper of any kind. That makes this a lot harder, since I'm not sure what exactly is going to work with your door. I can tell you, however, that we can only offer you a complete handle kit. We sell keepers separately but not latches, and without a latch a new keeper won't do you any good.

I suggest the 84-223. This looks like it at least installs the same way as what you have now, but look it over and see what you think. Given the circumstances I don't think it will be possible for us to make a confident suggestion.
