Identify RV Designer Screen Door Latches: E285, E287, E295 & E297
The most useful clues on a loose RV screen-door latch are the design of its operating handle, the striker and the way it sits on the door. RV Designer makes two pairs in this group: Amerimax E285/E287 and Phillips E295/E297. Each has its own right- and left-hand version.
Amerimax or Phillips? Check both designs
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.
The four manufacturer numbers
| MPN | Door hardware style | Manufacturer hand | Colour |
|---|---|---|---|
| E285 | Amerimax | Right-hand | Black |
| E287 | Amerimax | Left-hand | Black |
| E295 | Phillips | Right-hand | Black |
| E297 | Phillips | Left-hand | Black |
What to examine on a replacement latch
- Compare the actual handle, latch body and striker against the matching Amerimax or Phillips family before deciding from the part number alone.
- Confirm the left- or right-hand designation on the original package or exact replacement listing. Hinge position can be described differently between brands.
- Examine the plastic lever and base for cracking or distortion; confirm that the latch moves freely and the striker can engage positively.
- Check the screw locations and whether the original mounting holes are sound. Avoid forcing a different latch into a mismatched opening.
- Review the item listing for included striker, screws and condition. UsedRVParts viewing and pickup in Kelowna are by appointment.
A similar black latch is not proof of interchangeability. If the original door brand is unknown, compare the mechanism, mounting points and manufacturer number before installation.
