RV Designer T525, Screen Door Latch, Trimark

I have been replacing my plastic handle every year. I am so glad to have the metal handle. Part of it is plastic but overall a much sturdier build . Didn't quite fit the holes but drilled others and repaired the old ones. I am pleased with the results

Our screen door latch broke while camping and I found this all metal replacement and had it shipped to the RV park's office. It came quickly, even though we were in the middle of nowhere. The handle and the housing are both metal. The part that connects to the door and the latch that connects to the door frame are plastic, but that is fine since they are not what breaks. On my door, and others that I have seen that broke, the part that breaks is the plastic housing that holds the handle and the small spring inside. Installation was easy although I did drill new holes. The old unit and the new unit had similar hole patterns, but the OEM unit was installed too low to catch on the latch correctly and so I drilled new, higher holes to correct that problem that had been there since day one with the plastic unit. One note: The catch that connects to the door and catches the screen door's latch (to keep them together when you open the outside door) was too short to reach the newly installed metal latch. I guess the spacing between my outer door and screen door was too far. So I simply used the original plastic catch and it worked fine, although I did have to adjust it slightly as the new metal latch was slightly higher than the old plastic one (probably because I drilled new holes and shifted it up to solve the problem of the screen door not always latching as noted above). Time will tell if it lasts longer than the plastic one, but this metal unit seems very solid, well built, and I am hoping for many years of good service from it.

Got this to replace the plastic door latch my grandson broke ('hey- that's not a handle - snap!"). The metal construction feels great and is very smooth to use. The latch grabs well too on the door frame latch plate. This is a quality upgrade, if your camper/RV utilizes a plastic latch. good stuff!

Works as it should.

After replacing the screen door latch a few times on my Montana 5th wheel, I finally purchased this as a replacement. Wish I would have done so earlier. It is a perfect replacement for the 285 r/h latch. It comes with all mounting hardware, although I didn't use it as it was a perfect match. All of the previous holes matched up and all I had to do was make sure the hardware was adjusted to this latch. Make sure when you install it, that the latch that holds the handle when the door is connected to the main door is adjusted properly, I didn't and when I shut the main door the screen door latch still caught and I had some difficulty opening the main door. Had to use a coat hanger to unlatch the screen handle. Not easy to do when the main door is closed. This is an all metal latch, the hardware that comes with it is plastic. I feel this latch will not fail as the plastic ones in the past. The hardware is the catch that it engages and the catch that holds the latch when connected to the main door. I only gave it 4 stars because of it's cost. If it never fails, then it will rate 5 stars.

This item was perfect. It fit the existing holes and I had it installed in a couple of minutes. I need one more soon.

Made in China. I don’t understand why a business would flat out lie about their products and think people are too stupid to read. I wish the state department would find them out of business. Thanks for wasting my time and giving me an errand.

This is a solid upgrade from the plastic latch that came on the door of my motorhome. Very happy with this purchase.

Installed easily in place of the plastic version which I have replaced several times. Time will tell if it holds up but the fact it is metal means it will not crack like the poorly designed original.

More heavy duty than the original flimsy one.

much better than plastic

Replaced the old plastic with this. Works like a charm!
