Abstract

A latch assembly for recreational vehicle doors in which a closure door and a screen door are hinged about common axes includes a latch bolt which is adapted for mounting on a vertical stile of the screen door and is movable into engagement with a keeper plate. A latch bolt retainer is mounted on an inside surface of the prime closure door. The latch bolt retainer has portions which cooperate with the latch bolt on the screen door such that when the prime closure door is closed against the screen door, the retainer captures the latch bolt on the screen door and retracts it from the keeper and retains the latch bolt in a retracted position. The capturing movement is accompanied by alignment movement of the screen door latch bolt with respect to the retainer so that the screen door is held in a predetermined aligned position in the retainer.
