Lippert Components Screen Assist RV Screen Door Push Bar — Adjustable 26–30 in Full-Width Handle, Corrosion-Resistant Aluminium

The Lippert Screen Assist is a full-width, adjustable push bar that makes opening and protecting RV screen doors easier, even when your hands are full.

If you’ve ever juggled groceries, gear, or small kids while trying to open an RV screen door, this simple upgrade changes the game. The Screen Assist installs quickly on most RV screen doors and provides a stable, corrosion-resistant cross bar that reduces wear on the screen and simplifies exit and entry. It’s designed to work as a fixed push handle on most doors and to articulate with Lippert’s lever-style handles for a one-motion unlatch and push when paired with the compatible door.

How does the Screen Assist make leaving the RV easier?

The full-width push handle lets you open the screen door using your body or forearm, so groceries, pets, and cargo don’t slow you down. Instead of searching for a tiny latch, you simply press the bar and move through the doorway smoothly.

• Full-width handle spans door for easy shoulder or hip pressure
• Eliminates fumbling for small latch hardware
• Works hands-free when carrying items or managing children/pets

Will it protect my screen and last outdoors?

Yes—Lippert built the Screen Assist from corrosion-resistant aluminum and durable plastic to withstand repeated use and exposure to the elements. The cross bar takes the brunt of knocks and pushes, reducing stress directly on the screen fabric and latch points.

• Aluminum body resists rust in outdoor and marine environments
• Plastic components reduce friction and prolong moving parts
• Reinforces the door to minimize screen tears and latch damage

Is installation difficult and what door sizes fit?

Installation is designed to be straightforward and comes with all required mounting hardware and an interior closure latch. The length adjusts to accommodate the most common RV screen widths so you won’t need to modify your door frame.

• Adjustable length fits doors from 26" to 30"
• Includes mounting hardware and interior closure bar latch
• Fast, no-special-tools installation for most DIYers

How does it interact with doors that already have a lever-style handle?

When paired with a Lippert screen door that uses a lever-style handle, the Screen Assist links to the lever and functions as an articulating push bar. That means a single push both unlatches and opens the door, creating a seamless exit motion.

• Articulating connection works only with compatible Lippert lever-style doors
• Creates a single, coordinated unlatch-and-push action
• Maintains full-width push functionality on other door types as a fixed bar

Who is this for? The Screen Assist is ideal for RV owners who want a safer, more convenient entryway—campers who carry gear, families with small children, pet owners, and anyone wanting to reduce wear on their screen door. It’s also a practical upgrade for owners of older rigs who need a sturdy, weather-resistant handle replacement that installs quickly and improves everyday usability without major modifications.
