RV Designer Screen Door Latches: Amerimax vs Phillips, Left & Right
A broken RV screen-door latch is often straightforward to replace once you identify the correct family. RV Designer offers black latches for Amerimax and Phillips screen doors, with separate right- and left-hand part numbers. The four matching options are compared below.
Amerimax and Phillips are separate latch families
Amerimax-style screen door
The E285 is the right-hand version, and E287 is the left-hand version. Choose this pair only when the existing door uses the matching Amerimax-style assembly.
Phillips-style screen door
The E295 is right-hand, and E297 is left-hand. These are separately numbered parts for the Phillips-style screen door, not alternate colours of an Amerimax latch.

Check these details before buying
- Identify whether your RV screen door has an Amerimax- or Phillips-style latch. Compare the existing housing and striker, not just the colour.
- Choose the manufacturer-labelled right-hand or left-hand version that corresponds to the original assembly. If handing is uncertain, compare the existing lever orientation with the replacement photograph.
- Look at the position of the mounting holes, striker and operating lever so the new latch can align with the closing mechanism.
- Check the individual product listing for the latch, striker and required mounting fasteners before starting the repair.
- After installation, test that the screen door closes and releases smoothly without rubbing or requiring force.
Amerimax and Phillips are different door-hardware families. These part numbers describe a latch style and handing; they do not guarantee fit on every RV screen door.

Find the right latch for the repair
The right replacement must match the existing door's latch design and handedness. Open the numbered product card above to review its details; do not substitute a different family's latch based only on appearance.
