Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Aug 24, 2013But being located so close to the door jamb I would think its some sort of a latch. Can you take a few photos of the door a bit further away and on the other side to get a better idea of how its mounted and where its located? Does it swing back and fourth, does it have pressure to push the round ball towards the white trim? What kind of door is it? Old cabinet or entrance style type?Helpful Reply

Josephine on Aug 25, 2013This is a rubber ball that swings to keep the screen door from slamming. When my brother and I were kids we raced in and out of the house constantly. These were on every screen door to help our mother maintain sanity.Helpful Reply
