Does this depress the small existing latch, or does it replace the existing latch? The pictures and description do not make this clear. Thanks

It does neither. I mounted it about 6 inches above the latch. It works very well.

This bar fits across your screen door and is mostly used to hold onto while closing the door. It does not depress the existing latch.

I mounted it so it does not affect the latch on the screen door on my Dolphin. It is a great product.

No. The screen door cross bar does not replace any latch. This is on a bar that installs across the screen door.

The latch has two notches for the latching lever that runs horizontal. First one is normal operation. Second one slides it over and "Locks" it into the jamb of the latch that attaches to the post.. I think there is also a spot to throw a pad lock on there so that it can't be slid back out and unlocked.

I asked my daughter and she says that the latch seems strong with pretty rough play from her 4 year old so not sure if yours is defective. Those toys are usually very well made so may be worth a return to see. Hope this helps.

I was able to do it and I'm no handy man. I watched a youtube video on how to change a latch. Here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRuOxDnP5gE

I installed the latch, and it worked fine. If you install the latch correctly, it will not need to replace or tighten after pulling the handle for few times or more times. May be you did not put the cable correctly into the slot, that why it got off when you pull the handle for few times.

I purchased two of these latches. Went out and measured both of them and they both measure a 1 3/4" space for gate to latch into. Hope this helps.

No. You will need to use the lock from your original latch. The OEM lock is very easy to remove then install in this new latch.

This replacement handle should have no affect on the outside handle shape. My outside handle is a lever design. This replacement is simply to fix your broken latch so that it will 'catch' on the piece that is already installed on your door jam.

I use the top tether latch as well as the normal latch. It just seems like I can feel a difference in the stability/secureness by also using the tether.

I actually hadn't even noticed until I got your message and checked. The fit is a little loose but that does not appear to harm the functionality. The attachment is very secure--it is not as though the "looseness" is an indication of a poor fit. It may actually be part of the design--you want to be able to easily detach, empty, and reattach the bottom unit. IMHO a "tight" fit would more likely jam if there were any foreign articles or dirt in the way.

You till have to use the latch as before. The bar actually prevents people from pulling on the flimsy plastic slide cover and using it as the door closer. Check out this video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/QwjMmGZvj2oHope this helps.

Steve it does the window and the gate lock itself. Basically it moves two bars that connect to the latching mechanisms. As a note, if you look on the right side of the picture there looks like a big huge hold on that arm. Well there is a small piece on your existing one that will fit there. Do not throw out the old latch until you install this one completely.

It shouldn't fall out if the latches are working properly. It has to be an exact match for the battery it replaced.

One of the nicer models has a latch system. The one we purchased did not. It really doesn't impact our use at all. Britax says the latch system in the nicer one is only there to prevent the seat, if empty, from flying around during an accident. If the kid is in it and buckled, it won't move. Plus the buckle threads through the seat even when it is empty, which might prevent it moving anyway. We've loved it and highly recommend it.

The latch is adjustable, with the manual you should have no problem learning to adjust it as you 'll need as your child grows, we 're happy with it and have two.

My lock is parallel to the long side. It shouldn't make any difference as the latch is oriented parallel to the short side and the lock is low profile and shouldn't reduce the open flat area for storage.
