locking door latch/snib tips

Hi, ! I think it's great that you are thinking of your client! I am not sure if her screen door can have a new door latch mechanism placed, but there are different locking mechanism options. One is a flip type lock that only requires one hand to flip the mechanism up or down. I will include a link to what I am describing, but please know that I am not recommending shopping from any vendor in particular.

Here's another version of a flip style lock -- https://www.google.com/shopping/product/1?hl=en&q=screen+door+locks&prds=epd:7982683374164907543,eto:7982683374164907543_0,pid:7982683374164907543&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwik9pC-tev9AhVGj4kEHWj2DQUQ9pwGCAU


And here's yet another style of the flip lock -- https://www.acehardware.com/departments/hardware/door-hardware/door-latches/5573860?store=11296&gclid=CjwKCAjwiOCgBhAgEiwAjv5whFaOxaNBOtlG-SM6EOcBgCf9DS703mva_oiZZxKOsHIqKpgGeFphaxoCcCUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds.


This is the only type of lock that I have personally used and found to be very easy to manipulate, but perhaps other community members will have some suggestions as well.


I hope this helps!

Sometimes, outside links don't work well, so you may have to copy and paste my link addresses into your search bar to view the results. Sorry about that, ! Best, Erin, RheumatoidArthritis.net Team Member.

Thanks for the suggestions. It's a security style door so the latch is a bit different. This is the style of latch. She can lock it with a key aid, but would prefer not to use the key when locking from the inside, for safety reasons.
