If you are experiencing frequent snib breakages it could be a sign of an underlaying issue with your sliding or stacking door such as: 
  1. out-of-alignment rollers
  2. loose keepers
  3. problem with the lock body



Preventative Main​tenance

If your rollers, keepers and lockbody are all in good working condition but the snibs still break it could be due to the following:
  1. The tracks, keepers and rollers may need cleaning to help the locking rods move freely
  2. The snib is inadvertently being pulled or forced when the door is being opened, closed and locked, which over time can break the snib
