Thanks CRM for the measurement. I made a graphics file for the front and side decals. Now I just need to find a print shop to print them 🙂

One should not have to pay for their advertising, at least not that much!

Nice mod - I never thought about putting a bar on the closet door. Another thing that should be mentioned - The bar on the screen door is great for catching the entire door assembly in the event that the wind catches it. However, no matter how it is attached to the screen door the fact remains that the screen door itself is made from rather light weight aluminum. Anyone that places a bunch of weight on that door risks either the catch bar being ripped out of the mounting screws or brackets or (worse yet) the door frame becoming bent. I always try to tell people that are unfamiliar with this issue to please use the Oliver installed grab bars if they feel they need the extra support while entering/exiting the Ollie. Bill

Most likely, they may not have the big swoosh graphic files if they shopped those out to a specialist. If they did their graphics and decals in-house, then the person who used to do them must have left without any knowledge sharing. My assumption is that the folks at their headquarters don't have the graphics or computer skills to reproduce them... it's not hard, if you know how to recreate them 🙂 Maybe I should sell them the files they need to recreate them, but after seeing what they wanted to charge me, I'd be less inclined to do that.

Slight update. I'm waiting for a thermostat, but I also found the Dometic control box that Ron posted a bit cheaper on https://thervsurplus.com/search?q=Dometic™+OEM+3316230.700+(9600024570)&options[prefix]=last so I ordered one. We're going on a weekend trip and I don't think I'll have either of them hooked up, so maybe next week. Buttoned up the AC unit for now. Works great and it's quiet. I tried to power it with my Honda EU2000 generator, but it didn't turn on. Thought it might, but no bueno. PXL_20251028_001654190.mp4

First of all, credit to the Oliver owner that shared the installation of these on his screen door, great idea and product recommendation! I finally got around to adding a push bar to our screen door for ease in exiting and closing, and also resolved an ingress problem, as well. Although both installations offer support, my decision to mount one on the closet door as a grab handle when entering to help pull one’s self up and in, proved especially beneficial! Also, each can be used as a towel or clothing rack. Respective modifications were made for custom fitment, here’s a look at the final outcome:

Excellent points! I find the installed screen door crossbar most useful when opening and closing the combined door assembly; ease in pushing open from within rather than having hand on the actual door handle, and ease in closing for the same reason. It is definitely not designed for weight-bearing, but rather balance assist upon egress and ingress. On the other hand the installed closet door bar is solidly mounted, very sturdy, within easy reach and thus, provides a second grab bar, especially when entering. Previously I would reach out to the bath door frame and/or the counter edge at the microwave for that extra pull up and into. My wife however, being shorter and weaker always struggled upon entry and now, we both find this a viable solution for an easier and safer entry. When positioning the closet door grab bar, I made certain she approved the height more to her benefit than mine; she was elated with the outcome, especially since she has a bad shoulder. Happy wife ……..!

One big naked egg! I can only see doing that for those who want their own custom graphics, like many here have done. I only want our Oliver to look like what Oliver produced when it was new. Crazy for an organization to lose their own artwork!

Am glad I invested in this Ballymore Ladder. Makes this job so much easier and safer. A little pricy but considering an ER visit or worse, definitely worth it to me. I can also use it for access to a lot of garage ceiling racks.

@jd1923- Looks like you have the old style "Legacy Elite" graphic like mine had. To keep things original, I tried to get that one when I ordered my decals but they said that they were no longer available. Kind of glad they weren't since the newer style is much nicer, IMHO...

I believe it's a Scandvik. On ours the screw-on part cracked, likely from over-tightening. This is s good replacement: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AJVE86M/
