Screen door replacement

Has anyone ever replaced the screen door on your Montana?

our stick at the latch point
and when closed - you see light between the door and the frame along the back side.

Whenever we have that problem, I lube the switch for the door light and it's all good again for about 6 months. We did replace the screen and window with tinted plexaglass, but I doubt that makes a difference.

X2 on lubing the light switch button. I use a dry silicone spray every few months on the button switch as well as the hinges. The screen door is also easy to adjust with a little old fashioned heavy persuasion, either a shoulder, or even a wood block and hammer with some caution.

I have to lub the switch all the time. I wonder if Keystone knows there are much better switchers out there? The auto industry used rocker type switches. I would change it out but I don't know how I would modify the hole? I just mat disconnect it all together.

Your screen door needs to be jacked back in by bending and pushing or lifting on the screen door until its straight ours was the same way when we got it home, also assuming that the frame is not jacked out of alignment, dose the main door close correctly? also you might have to tweak the hinges on the screen door.
