sticking storm door pushbutton latch

I have a 2" thick steel storm door that needed the handle replaced (I bought a "National" pushbutton latch). When I tighten everything up, the button sticks so that when you push it in, it doesn't push back out. When it is assembled together (off the door), it works fine.... any ideas / tips /comments / suggestions?

Sounds like a faulty design. The bezels may be so flimsy that the slightest variation in tightening jams the button. Try other designs from better hardware stores. Go for a heavier, probably pricier assembly. Good luck.

Loosen the screws a bit, and try the latch. It should work.You may just have the latch slightly mis-aligned which is causing it to bind.
