I had the same problem as most of you. On rough roads the latch at the bottom of the pocket door would work its way open, and the door would slide back and forth trying to destroy itself.

My solution was to shove the latch down, drill a small hole through the sliding metal strip and into the door right above the part you shove down with your finger. Now once the screw is inserted there, the latch doesn't open. It seems to take a fairly long screw to get a bite into the door wood (I think mine is about 2 inches).

So far no more problems in 2 years, other than remembering to screw the screw in or out as necessary.

Best of luck, Marty
