RV Screen Door Handle
A fix for the "Who left the slider panel open?" problem
Problem: The screen door design on most RV units requires one to slide open a slide panel to access the screen door latch from inside the camper. For small children and guests, this is awkward and requires the slider panel to be closed to keep the RV bugproof. Closing the slider panel is difficult on a swinging door and causes an unsafe situtation, especially for children.
Solution: Install the Steele Engineering screen door handle kit in the slider panel. The kit provides a screen door release on the inside of the slider panel which actuates the factory latch release on the outside of the slider panel. The installed handle looks like a door handle to most people and guests adapt to it quickly. During screen door mode (solid door latched open), the slider panel can remain closed. During solid door mode the slider panel can remain open. The kit does not interfere with any of the other door functions. Check out the photos to see the installed handle and the videos of our grandaughter's demonstration.

Over 170 satisfied owners (and a few old grouches) on our owners map.
Installation: The installation of the kit requires drilling a 5/8 inch diameter hole in the appropriate location in the panel and enlarging the hole to a 5/8 inch square shape. This can be accomplished with a sharp knife or a Dremel tool. The handle is then fastened in place with a clamp nut. More detailed instructions and template are included with the kit. Total installation time is less than 10 minutes.
Specs: The kit components are made of corrosion resistant plastic and stainless steel.
Application: The kit is compatible with a most travel trailers and fifth wheels. If there is any question, please give me a call. A picture or a couple of measurements will easily clear up any compatibility question. The pictures show the handle mounted on a Philips slider panel with a one inch offset. This is very common and is the default option on the "Buy Now" button. Other offsets can may require a special order at the same price.
Price: $15 plus $8 S&H. I will ship multiple units for the same shipping charge.
