What the devil is the screen door latch suppost

[IPM]

to look like? Mine has never had one since before I purchased it. Bought the InlandRV screen door to outer door latch parts, but they make no sense?!? Someone please give me a photo and I'll just fabricate something from local parts.

thanx,

I don't have the camera right now, but will try to post a picture of how it works/looks tonight as I had to do this.

With the screen door latched.

With the screen off the inner door.

That looks like a an aftermarket latch, like they sell at Inland RV. I still have the original latch, but my exterior latch catch is busted.

That is a standard Airstream door hold back latch. It is still used for that purpose on the exterior of my coach too.

The old 1 piece slide latch was NLA a few years back, so this is the current solution. The newer trailers have a different spacing on the doors and use a Ventline door latch with an integral latch to hold the screen door closed.

There is also a slide latch that is available but it requires you to move it into position in order to use it. This way the door is automatically latched.

I had bought that part(s) from inland last year but coulld not figure out what to do with it. Now I know! I don't have all the pieces.

mine is an aluminum slider that locks over a tab sticking out of the screen door. It works ok, but often slips out of the tab. Seems like it has been messed with along the way by someone.
