Question:

How do I fix a metal screen door that no longer closes because the ground below the patio has shifted?

The lock is too low.

Answer:

If your problem is just with the latch and not with the door actually scraping the ground, then remove the plate on the inside door frame. Mark where the lock is now hitting and reattach the plate in the lower spot. If something is obstructing the door then you'll have to move the obstruction.
