    If you just put the springs on from CW, it may just close but not latch. You need to twist the springs while screwing them in to make sure it closes and latches; a real pain in the a$$ to do, but works great.

    does it actually shut and latch the door or just brings the door closed kenbert?

    I installed the two spings to close the screen door and as an added benefit it also closes the regular door.
