Looking for storm door replacement retainer strips

Home Owner from Minneapolis -- St. Paul, MN
Greetings:I'm looking to replace my storm door retainter strips. Unfortunately I cannot find any names, numbers, or markings on the storm door itself so I don't know the manufacturer. I uploaded photos of the retainer strips in the door and a broken piece separately. Happy to provide more information if needed--dimensions, etc. Thank you.

Hello,

We suggest using our 70-180 storm door clip and drilling a hole for the 33-020 screw. Over the years, storm door companies have started designing plastic retainer strips instead of using the old-fashioned storm door clips and screw. The problem is that every door company and even the same company changes the retainer strip almost every year, and it is next to impossible to stock all of them. With that being said, we find that using clips and screws work just as well, and are actually even easier to install. Take a look and see what you think.

Thank you for your response. Can you give me guidance on how I use these clips? How many do you need per door? Thanks again.

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.
