Camco Screen door handle installation

Great mod that I also did years ago. Yes, any handle from a hardware store will also work for possibly less money. The bar across the whole door has been helpful to grab anywhere on with either hand.

Thanks to this thread by DB....I installed one, as well.

I put mine a little higher as I can reach it from inside but won't be tempted to use it as an assist bar to enter the trailer.... and I will get maximum air flow if I want to dry a towel.

Having a screen door handle is really a good thing to have but spending $11 seems a bit much to me. I guess if you want to use it as a towel rack too, then ok. I get that. But if all you want is a handle to close the screen door easily, just go to a hardware store and buy a handle for $3 and put in 2 screws and you're done.

If you get the white one, it's only about $8 and some change... might be a bit more affordable for ya..

I didn't know they made a white one. That looks good with the other white items on screen door.

Wish the posting software allowed a simple like button to be pushed to indicate agreement. $11 in the grand scheme of things doesn't sound unreasonable.

BTW, I also have one mounted on my door, don't remember how much I paid for it. I could go back and look, but I do know it was not the straw that broke the camel's back.

Seriously? You've got tens of thousands $$$$$ tied up in your rig but $11 is too much for a purpose designed screen door handle that includes all the parts necessary for an easy installation and in brushed nickel looks great, not like a ticky tacky DIY solution, and works even better? :h

The cost for this handle, which is much higher in Canada, didn't even cross my mind when I bought and installed mine. ;)
