Larson storm doors

Question

Our house is 25 years old. The storm/screen doors were purchased at Menards and are Larson. No model/serial numbers can be seen. Both windows and screens are held in place by full length/width plastic strips. Over time, they crack and are very difficult to insert. Do you have clips of some sort that are compatible with these doors that can be used in place of these strips? I can attach additional photos if necessary. Thank you.

I think we can help, but our solution is a little different. The problem with these long retainer strips is that every different door company changes the style that they use almost every year. This makes it next to impossible to keep up. As such, we suggest considering something like our 70-180 storm door clip and drilling a hole for a 33-020 screw. This is how storm door companies did it once upon a time, and we still find it to be an effective and simple solution.

The 70-180 ould need to be secured on the face of the door with a 33-020 screw. The end leg of the clip has a 1/2" reach and should press up against the screen or glass panel in the door holding it in place. I would suggest installing four or five on each side and maybe two at the top.
