To fix a broken screen door handle latch, you can try the following steps:
Just "pop" off the Pella Badge with a knife or something ( it is on there with a sticky material) Underneath you will find a Phillips screw that releases the wooden handle. This allows access to the square spline to fall out. Then simply wiggle the broken latch out an reinstall the new one. The broken latch refused to come out until I removed the screen protector from the outside of the screen door. Then it worked like a charm.
The door handle may not latch properly due to a misalignment of the latch mechanism, a worn-out latch, or a loose connection between the handle and the latch.
To unlock a screen door, look for a latch or lock mechanism on the door handle. Turn the knob or slide the latch to the unlocked position. If there is a keyhole, use the appropriate key to unlock the door. If you are unsure how to unlock the screen door, consult the manufacturer's instructions or seek assistance from a professional locksmith.
You have to take the inside handle apart to activate the latch manually. If you can't do it from the handle area you have to remove the inside door panel.

To fix a door with a broken handle on the outside that won’t open from the inside, first, check if the latch is stuck. Try using a flathead screwdriver to manually turn the latch from the inside if there's a visible slot. If that doesn’t work, remove the door handle and lock mechanism to inspect for any broken parts. Replace any damaged components or the entire handle set as needed, then reassemble the door.
