Screen door inside latch

For anyone considering buying the Lippert slide. Be aware that all screen doors are not the same size and Lippert does not list the size of the panel. It will only fit my door after being rotated 90 degrees and then filing the door handle. Also as I said in an earlier post the plastic is so distorted you could get a headache looking through it. The idea is great but the implementation sucks.

I don't ever use my screen door, i just have it set that it opens with the main door.

Our new rig has the Lippert one. A nice change from the old white style. Not sure which is best, having the clear panel to see through or the gizmo that you push down to open the screen door.

I got tired of messing with the sliding panel in order to open the screen door. I put a small steel plate on the door edge and 4 small rare earth magnets on the jamb. Holds the door closed and is easily pushed open. I also filed the nub off the end of the latch so it is now a handle to pull from outside.

How do you open the main door without sliding the panel open?

We still have to slide the panel when inside with both doors closed, but that usually is first thing in the morning. The rest of the time, the screen door is the only one used. This set up is very convenient when going in and out during the day, especially if you have a beer in each hand.

Watch out for the Lippert latch. I bought one and while it works, after some adjustments, the panel is so distorted I get a headache looking through it.

Lippert makes one. I ordered it from my dealer and replaced the plain-Jane panel.

It's what we have, works great.
