Looking to identify storm door window retaining strips

Question

Hi, I'm not sure who manufactured our storm door but the window retaining strips are starting to crack and separate.  If you carry these ones, I'll order them.  Hope the pictures are clear enough.  Thanks so much!  Al

Hi, Al.

I think that 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 would 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.
