Symptoms & checks
The panel closes but will not latch
A latch that misses its keeper can make a working lock seem broken. Wear inside the lock, loose hardware or a panel sitting out of alignment can also prevent the door from securing properly.
What we check
We check how the panel closes, whether the latch engages the keeper and the condition of the lock before recommending alignment work or compatible replacement hardware.
Helpful to mention: Does the latch move normally but miss the keeper, or does the lock itself feel stuck?

Adjustment or compatible lock hardware
The condition of the lock and its contact with the keeper determine whether adjustment or replacement is appropriate. A patio panel that sits too low or closes out of alignment can stop a usable latch from engaging.
We assess the existing mechanism and mounting arrangement before choosing parts, then check closing and lock operation after the agreed repair.
