Inside screen door latch needed

[awellis3]

Our guest tried to close the entry door by grabbing the plastic paddle push lever on the screen door and it snapped off. I've searched everywhere Google would take me and all I've found are the outside latches. Nary a mate on the inside have I discovered.
The outside section appears to be an RV Designer. Their website showed no inside latches. CW, Amazon, E-Bay, E-Trailer, Dyer's all nada.
Any ideas?

Wright --
I can't help you with sourcing the screen door handle. However, I worried about having someone try to close the door by grabbing that handle and snapping it off. That's why I installed the door grab bar shown below:

What piece broke? Can you show a picture?

Wright -- I did some research. It looks like the screen door is manufactured by Dexter Door Products. The door is (on my 2706WS) a Series 5050 Radius Corner Upgraded Screen Door. I suggest you call Dexter Door Products at 574-848-4491 and see if they can sell you the handle. If you can procure one, come back on here with the info. I believe broken handles on this door are going to be common.

ependydad -- If you click on the picture in my message above yours, you can see the plastic screen door handle on the right side. This is a different style handle than I've seen on the LCI doors. It is double sided, through the door, so that there is a handle on both the inside and outside of the screen door. The advantage is, you can open the screen door from the inside without having to slide the handle access door to the side. Unfortunately, it also provides a tempting handle to grab to close the door. It's plastic and not durable enough to be a grab handle.

Thanks for the effort. I looked at your pic. That's not my door and not my inside handle.
My trailer is in storage. I'll try to get to it soon and remove the old part. I'll take a pic of the bedroom door (still intact) for the overall set up.

hello,
do a ebay search for: Forest River 10-19225A Double RV Screen Door Lever Latch - Left Hand
looks very similar to yours.

Would this thread apply to you?

Thanks for the lead, but that isn't close. My outside is a regular latch as seen on every site I've looked at. The inside is a push "paddle," not a lever. It operates the outside latch via a lift pin that goes through the door and into the back of the outside latch to operate it.
I'll try for a pic tomorrow.

still looking for a replacement for our screen door latch ...nothing is out here for the set used on the 2013 microlites :-( Not an item I can even go get the RV part junkyards to check for me either.... duct tape is our friend

I also had the screen door handle break.I never did like to slide the small access door to get to the handle so I just removed it and put magnets on the doors along with a grab bar.Works great and now I can exit or enter without sliding that aggravating little door.

I found a source for RV parts that has screen door parts.

Pacific RV Parts, prvparts.com

[Life Without Whine]

still does not have the one needed... I need someone to dig in to the back room & come up on a box of the ones for 2013-2014 models... we broke the outside lever but it has to attach to the inside paddle thru the center piece & all the center pieces do not have a run thru the door ability ... & that is what is missing.... always looking

We broke the little plastic angle in the bottom corner of our door. Could not find a replacement anywhere FR wanted me to buy the whole screen door for $125. Found a suitable replacement that we modified to work. You will probably need to do the same. Home Depot was our solution.

I had the same problem with the screen door handle on our GT MH and I found a replacement as a part at an RV dealer. Bought 2 so I have an extra. I also bought the grab bar and installed it, works great.
