This image is for a right hand latch. Notice the bevel on the striker, if this were a left hand latch the bevel would be on the closer side.

Expert Reply:

The point of view for left hand/right hand for this door latch is from inside of your camper. The # 37211215 would be screwed into the screen door on the outside on the left side (from the inside POV) and the bevel on the strike would allow the latch to retract as it's being pushed into the closed position.

When you look at the Door Latch for Amerimax RV Screen Doors - Right Hand # 37210765 the point of view is from the outside of the trailer and you can see the bevel in the handle will allow you to push it closed without have the handle depressed and but is flat on the other side to prevent it from opening.
