This is a screen door handle to replace the one whose finger hole is so narrow that it is difficult to use.

Description

PDF

This is a screen door handle which is a replacement/enhancement to the Prime-Line A 187 Black Plastic Hat Section Screen Door Handle and Latch.  My in-laws wanted a handle that had a larger finger hole as the existing one has a pretty small surface to grab onto when sliding the door open or closed. This design doubles the surface area making it much easier to use (in-law approved!) and adds a pocket section so that there should be absolutely no need to touch the actual screen.

There are three STL files, one for the inside door handle, one for the outside door handle and one for the latch mechanism. You will want to reuse the metal latch and screws from the original screen door handle kit. The latch model should snap into the inside door handle with a little bit of force.  Recommended to use PETG to avoid warping under the harsh sunlight.  Print with supports under the front handle ledge and under the latch model (sorry).
