Hello,

Here are pics of the screen retainers on my storm door. I don't see any part numbers and don't know the brand.

Thanks for your help!

Hi there, Nathan.

Before I recommend anything, can you show me a photo of the end profile for this retainer? I will do my best to help from there.

Thank you!

Hello! Emily isn't here today but I'll do my best to help. The good news is that I recognize this retainer strip. The bad news is that we don't sell it: every door manufacturer makes these strips a different way and even the same company will change the design multiple times over the years. It makes it very difficult for companies like us to keep up.

That said, we do have an alternative solution that you can try. It works well and is something they used to do back in the day, before these strips became so popular. What you do is take a small clip like our 70-180 and install these at intermittent points around the insert using a thumb screw like our 70-112. they will serve the same function as the old retainer strips and in my opinion are a lot easier to swap out, once they're in use.
