You will need to replace the little latch thing.

Actually, you do not need to pull the surround apart to change the latch.

On the left of the door the hinge is a pin pushed into the left wall. Prise this out with a thin flat screw driver (don't lose it - it is very small). then grab the door and gently slide it out towards you. The door and some of the right wall assembly will slide out.

The hinge is a little Y shaped thing in the back of the right side bracket.

Cheers,

JG
