First off, I already did a search. found nothing.

So here we are, My screen door seems to be missing what ever was used to latch it close. So friends I need ideas on what I can do, Photos will help.
This is for a 1984 Winni Chieftain 26ft. 

Looks to be a OEM screen door and it good shape. Just nothing hinting to what ever was used to latch it close.

I think it is held closed with nothing more than a spring.

I have never met a screen door that can't be latched with an Airstream style latch, with minor or no modifications needed.  I used them on all of my rigs, my previous 2 and the one we have now, and they are simple, cheap, and effective.

I googled Airstream style latch and came up with a lot of different styles, please supply more info so I can find what you're speaking of

If it was like my last two, then it's a spring loaded roller... Same as used on some cupboard doors.. Like this..

This kind.  They work great and are easily configured and modified for just about any application.
