Screen Door Opener

Would love one of these but my screen slide has a pretty good recess. Flat panel would hit door handle.

That came factory installed on our 2012 Laredo 5er, liked it until the wind on the last camping trip. It doesn't have a real way to grip the door so it kept blowing out of our hands. I have been tasked with correcting this, our last trailer had a curved piece on the door frame your fingers could grasp, I might try to make something similar.

I had a spare toilet tank handle, bent the rod cut it rounded the end,, used a box knife and made a square hole tightened the lock nut,,,,Works great and it's Chrome!! Looks good and was FREE!!!

I took my handle off. Hate the damn thing. I put one of those old style screen door rollers where the handle was, Left the handle catch in place. The roller rolls over and rests behind the catch. I have a CW/Wally push bar on the screen door, Just a push or pull to open. If we go out I slide the grab handle across the door in case the dog gets too pushy.
They were at Lowes/HD for about 2.00 in the cabinet knob section. They have a small nylon roller and metal base with spring and 2 screw holes.. last about 3 years and then a new one.

I like this idea because I don't want the handle either. Any chance you could post a pic of your installation?

Oh, I saw this one in an RV store for about $5 and chickened out on making one. It works well.

So well I figured I would never need to open that slider again and siliconed it shut! Dumb. Of course I need to slide it open in order to open the main door when it is closed. I used a utility knife to cut the silicone, being careful not to cut it off - now it is much more bug proof than before.

THANK YOU, Barney!

I got tired of having to open the little hatch to access the screen door so I tried this.

Looks good!
