Accordion door latch removal
In the process of removing the accordion door latch.

Took out the two obvious screws, but it’s still firmly attached to the wall.

Is there another attachment that I need to undo or is this another example of Lazy Daze gluing it in place never to be removed?

I removed mine. The latch came off easily. No adhesive.

Can the "fat" part of the latch be pried off?  There may be a screw underneath.

It may have an adhesive strip holding to the wall, forcing it off may damage the plastic coating on the paneling.
You may want to use a product like Goof Off to soak behind the latch before attempting to remove it.
