Stop replacing torn screens every camping season. The Lippert Screen Defender drops into the existing channels of your LCI entry door screen frame, creating a durable aluminum barrier that keeps pets contained without blocking airflow or visibility. No drilling, no adhesives -- it locks in place using the channel your door already has.
Screen doors take a beating from pets pushing, scratching, and pressing against them. Replacement screens are an ongoing cost and hassle. The Screen Defender addresses the root problem by replacing the vulnerable mesh section with a rigid aluminum panel that matches the construction and finish of your LCI door frame.
This version -- part 859792, vendor part 72-9011 -- is sized for 26" LCI entry doors. The panel itself measures 22.5" wide to fit correctly within the door frame's rough opening. It is available in additional sizes for other door widths, so confirm your door's rough opening before ordering.
Slides directly into the screen door's built-in frame channels -- no tools, no fasteners, no modifications to your door required.
Built from the same aluminum used in LCI door frames. Resists bending, clawing, and impact far better than standard fiberglass or vinyl mesh screen.
Matches the standard LCI entry door aesthetic. Finish is corrosion-resistant and holds up to outdoor exposure and UV.
Manufactured domestically by Lippert (LCI) -- the same company that built your door -- ensuring fit and finish consistency.
The Screen Defender is designed exclusively for LCI (Lippert Components) entry doors. It is compatible with LCI doors installed on:
It does not fit aftermarket or non-LCI brand entry doors. If you are unsure whether your door is an LCI door, look for the Lippert or LCI logo on the door frame or check your RV's build sheet and door documentation.
Installation is straightforward and tool-free in most cases. The Screen Defender slides into the existing aluminum extrusion channels on the interior side of your LCI screen door frame, much the same way the original screen mesh was installed at the factory. No drilling, no cutting, and no adhesive is required. The panel locks into the channels and stays secure during travel.
The Screen Defender is not a kennel or containment system -- it protects the screen from damage and discourages casual pushing and scratching, but it is intended to be used while you are present. For full pet containment during unattended periods, use it in combination with other pet management solutions. The main door (solid panel) should be closed and latched when pets are left alone in the RV.
