Traveling with pets in your RV just got easier. The Lippert Screen Defender drops into the existing channels of your LCI screen door and creates a rigid aluminum barrier that stands up to paws, claws, and curious noses -- no drilling, no modifications, no ruined screens at the end of a long trip.
Screen doors on RV entry doors take a beating, especially when dogs or cats press against them repeatedly or try to push through. Replacement screens are an ongoing expense, and a torn screen can also invite insects and compromise your door seal. The Screen Defender is Lippert's purpose-built fix: a rigid aluminum screen panel sized to lock directly into the factory channels of LCI entry doors.
Because it uses the same aluminum extrusion materials as the LCI door frame itself, the Screen Defender matches the look and structural feel of your door. The black powder-coat finish blends with any LCI entry door color. Installation requires no tools for most applications -- the panel slides into the existing screen door channels and locks in place.
Slides directly into the factory screen door channel tracks on LCI entry doors -- no drilling or hardware required for installation.
Constructed from the same aluminum materials used in LCI door frames. Rigid enough to resist pet pressure without flexing or warping.
Black powder-coat finish matches LCI entry doors and resists scratches, UV exposure, and the outdoor conditions of full-time or weekend RV use.
Screen Defender is offered in multiple widths to match different LCI door rough opening sizes. This listing is for the 28-inch door width variant.
This Screen Defender (part 859793) is sized for LCI entry doors with a 28-inch rough opening width. The panel itself measures approximately 24.5 inches wide -- the listed size refers to the door's rough opening, not the panel dimension, so the protector fits correctly within the door channel without trimming.
The "28 inch" designation refers to your door's rough opening size, which is the standard way LCI sizes and labels its entry doors. The actual Screen Defender panel width is 24.5 inches. This is expected and intentional -- the panel is designed to fit within the channel on a 28-inch door, not to span the full rough opening edge-to-edge.
Lippert builds the Screen Defender from aluminum extrusion consistent with their door frame construction, giving it a rigid, rattle-free fit. The black powder-coat finish is applied over the aluminum for durability and UV resistance. At 3 lbs., the panel adds minimal weight to the door and does not affect door swing or latch function.
Backed by Lippert's limited 1-year manufacturer warranty. Designed and manufactured in the USA.
