I know this will probably sound lazy, but everytime we go in and out of the screen door when camping, we have to side the plastic door back and forth to get to the door release. So I saw this little item and thought about how I could make my own version and decided that although I probably could, that I would spend more time trying to adapt things from my workshop than it would be worth. So I took the $5.69 plunge and made the purchase.
Like with everything that I do with our 19 year old rig, this item was designed for the push down version of the door latch, not the pull version that we have. So I did have to do a little adapting, but after thinking about it for a few minutes it was installed and works perfectly. If you think I am little crazy enjoying these kinds of projects, you can join my wife who shares your thinking, but next time someone uses the screen door, I am sure they will say Wow, that's a neat gadget, where did you get that? :-)

I hope that your week is off to a great start and get out and enjoy every minute of it.
Hmmm...wonder how this actually works? Looking at the photos I can't fix it in my head what this device does. Nice concept though.
ReplyDeleteWe had one of those that Jim installed on our previous rig and it was one of the best things ever. Now we have a clothes pin that does the same job but a little different. I love not having to slide that plastic part of the door to get in and out. Good job, sir.
ReplyDeleteMade the same thing with a piece of coat hanger and it works great, best part was it was Free. Be safe out there. Sam & Donna.
