This is a great solution for protecting the upper portion of your door screen from excited dog paws. Mounts easily and provides a rigid handle that can be used when closing the door.

My new storm door has the screen at the bottom, which is a liability in our house. This was just enough to remedy that, without going through the poor appearance, expense and maintenance of one of those grate type screen protectors. This looks good, works well.

I spent 2 days fixing my broken screen door and decided I needed a push bar to keep the screen from getting damaged again. The door I have is wood frame with aluminum insert that everyone always pushed on, it broke out the screws, broke the wood, pushed out the screen...after fixing I attached this and it worked great, but I noticed catching the door with 'the rump' when closing (automatic spring), so I bought another bar to put lower and works great. The only thing I don't like is it makes an awful rattling noise when the metal clanks on each other. I applied some silicone between the pieces and it helped. Looks a bit tacky, but works great, bought another for my other door, so far they have held up great!

Used this on my screen door to keep my grandkids from pushing on the screen to open the door (they previously pushed the screen out of the frame ). Since installing no more issues with pushing on the screen. I think it looks better than the standard screen protectors that cover the entire lower part of the screen door.

We bought these after buying our new hybrid travel trailer. The screens are perfect height for a 120lb Bernese Mountain Dog, just perfect. haha I looked online...Camco has a scroll pattern and a old hillbilly cooking grate style available. Neither are my taste. We looked at Ace Hardware and a few other stores too and had almost resigned to rigging up something. Then i found these. Bought two and called the dog to the door and watched where her excited and her normal pawing spots were. Put one of these in each spot. Not only does it make the door visible to her(screens are invisible demons for her to thwart) but it also adds some structure and push areas that are safe. I'm going to add some pictures of it all, buy them and use as you please. Heck, don't be afraid to purchase two! We also purchased for the people in the camper a Camco 42186 White Screen Door Cross Bar. That was just for me because I hate fiddling with the door handles.

The push bar I ordered took about 2 weeks to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. I pulled the ends apart to make it long enough to fit the screen door on our house, 30" wide. There are no directions supplied, but it's really obvious how to do the installation. The bar comes with 4 self-tapping philips head screws. I tried putting the screws in by hand, but the aluminum was too hard to start without a guide hole. I used a 1/8" bit to drill one guide hole on the top right and got that screwed in. I then leveled it off, drilled the top left and got that screw in. Total installation time, less than 5 minutes. It's robust and the white color matches our screen door. I'm happy that I don't feel we're going to push the screen in each time we use the door.

We like this push bar, as we can pull the screen door shut with no problems. It also keeps people from pushing on the screen when going out. On our 2017 5th wheel, the door is much wider then our 2016 travel trailer was so we couldnt use the same single handle push bar. This works great for the bigger door

I think this was made for use on trailer or camper screen doors, but I bought it and installed it on my front screen door, after getting tired of replacing the screen. Everyone opens the door and holds it open by pressing against the screen, and eventually the screen tears or falls off. This adjustable push bar worked perfectly, easy to install and sturdy. It looks pretty good, too. No more screen repairs.

I installed this on a regular house sized screen door. It's a full view door with removable windows, and I have replaced the screen on it twice in one year because people insist on pushing on the screen as the windows are out for the summer and fall. There is a flimsy aluminum cross bar on the screen part but it is not meant to be pushed on either and has begun to bend alarmingly in the middle. I figured I would put this on the door to prevent that little bar from breaking in half and me from breaking other peoples necks. So far so good....

Excellent looking quality when installed on RV door. Preferred this "three bar" look/style over the other single bar handle that is available. Like other reviewers have mentioned, there is little space between bar and screen door. This did not create any problem when using. Would recommend this product.
