Hi, I installed a new Pella storm door on my screened porch in spring 2019. I intentionally did not install a closer, because I wanted to give the door a year to settle in. Although the storm door is not explicitly an INSWING model, I installed it as an INSWING anyway. That was not easy, but the end result is good. Door is installed and works well.
I now need a CLOSER. The CLOSER must 'push' the door closed, not necessarily prevent the door from slamming. I need to install the CLOSER on the INTERIOR of the screen porch, to protect it the CLOSER (and the holes that I would drill in the door itself) from weather. This model on Amazon looks interesting B0747G27JH, but I am concerned about the force required by a human to open the door. My storm door is just a lightweight standard storm door.
Any tips? Would be happy to purchase from you and want to make sure I get the right stuff. Thank you for your time. -Gary

Thanks for reaching out to us. I'm not sure what kind of door you have, but you could possibly use our 40-077 along with our 40-006 inswing bracket. This bracket is necessary to convert a normal closer like the 40-077 to work with an inswing door. The installation can be a bit confusing so I recommend following the guide below. |
