the curved latch is broken on 2 of our sliding screen doors. Is there a replacement part for this? We cannot find any markings of model number.

Thanks for posting! This piece resembles our 83-115 Pella latch. Check it out and let me know if you agree.

I watched the video. The current latch is spring-loaded to hold it in the locked position. Will the springs be kept in position when I remove the current latch?

In this picture, do you see how the inside part of the door is a different setup then you have shown in the instructional replacement video? Do you know how to replace the latch on this setup? Please advise

The spring is in a separate inside mechanism. As long as it isn't damaged, it should still work the same as before.
As for replacing the latch on your handle set, the procedure as the same as in our video. The only difference is that the screw on your inside handle is located under the circular Pella logo. You'll have to pop that off with a screwdriver.

The spring is located inside a small metal box that's sealed in the door itself. That metal box is unfortunately not sold separately to my knowledge, nor are any of its interior components (like the spring).
My recommendation is to contact a local Pella dealer and see if this is something they may be able to supply to you. However, note that Pella themselves will likely just try to sell you a new door.

As mentioned above, the screw is usually located under the round Pella logo. You need to pop that off with a screwdriver first. That will reveal the screw and allow you access.
