Fairly easy to Install
First, there is no instructions with this item. However, its pretty simple to install. Make sure that you measure the screen size and mark and measure the center brace (just to make sure its centered). I had to pre-drill the holes in the screen. Even with pre-drilling the screen, the screws that were included, were crap. the heads of the screws broke off and I had to removed the threaded portion out of the hole. (difficult) The screws cannot be very long or they will go all the way through the screen door. They only supplied 4 screws, 8 screws are needed. Once installed and all screwed in place, the handle does increase the stability of the screen door and give you a handle to grab to close the screen. All in all, I would buy it again.

You will need a drill, drill bits and better quality screws!
The screws that came with it were only the exact amount and they were very poor and quality and snapped the second they got any torque on them...I wish I would have read a review like the one I'm writing so that I could have avoided making extra holes in my brand new RV!The plastic on the mounts is very cheap as well and will crack very easy!These very small plastic mounts are what is supposed to move the entire door with the screen as well and shut the door as well. Anybody that lives in an RV knows that the door is a very tight fit and has to be shut somewhat firmly to close all the way...Now I have four extra holes in my screen door that I had to cover with black electrical tape so that it didn't look so horrible!I really hope and pray that the whole thing doesn't just fall apart one day because it's pretty flimsy to begin with considering what it's supposed to achieve!

Low cost upgrade for your RV.
This inexpensive upgrade was well worth the time and money. The handle gave greatly needed sturdiness and rigidity. I found the install to be quite easy as I have many years of experience doing this sort of thing. The install could be difficult for someone not experienced with tools. I used a small light duty cordless screwdriver for drilling holes with a 1/8" drill bit with a 1/4" hex shank. Since I was installing screws into aluminum I opted to use a manual screwdriver to avoid over tightening the screws and stripping out the pilot holes. After getting the alignment right I used electrical tape to hold the center plastic portion in place as I drilled the final holes. Was a very smooth and clean install. Take your time and don't feel intimidated. Just do it!

Easy to install
This worked very well for our purposes. It was easy to install, however make sure when you are installing it, you line it up so that it isn't blocking the door latch and lock.

This is a must have for every RV screen door.
Easy install and very sturdy. I've put one of these on the screen door for every RV I've owned, if it didn't already come with one installed.

Use Camco instead
For the price you are better off with the Camco, I've used before and it is easier to install. The screws provided are cheap and the heads sheer off when trying to tighten them. I used a vise grip to back out the threaded shaft and replace them with new screws.

Adds strength
RV screen doors are absolutely essential, but they usually of flimsy construction. This handle reinforces the whole frame so that you don't have to be so careful opening and closing it.

Not one I would recommend.
This is the second handrail I have installed and the hardest one. The screws supplied cheap and will not self tap into metal frame. Camco is better deal and you will not have to pre drill holes.
