Our unit has a reinforcing metal bar that spans the latch bracket.

That looks like a great fix........I may just do that to mine, just for the heck of it. However, with our wood wood framing, it would be better to make the flat bar longer and install the screws in a straight line as apposed to side by side. I could use 3/16" flat bar ~4-6" long and 4-6 screws on each catch. 2, in the original holes and 1 or 2 on either side of the original holes. That thing would never be an issue again. That may be a good fix for "jferrarello" as well. Although that frame still needs to be checked for wood-rot.
