This is the screen door that's installed on my 26' 73 Painted Desert (click through for larger pictures):

Is that a Birch screen door?

How is the latching mechanism supposed to work? Right now, it's just got a little springy wire gizmo that sort of squeezes into the door frame - you can see it off-center in the fourth picture. The wires are wearing into the frame, so I figure that can't be how it is supposed to work. I guess there is supposed to be some kind of roller in there?
