Hi there!

We can help but we'll need to see your hardware removed from the window, along with dimensions, to compare to our inventory. 

Thank you!

I've attached a picture of the door and part of the inserts that need to be replaced.
The door is at my vacation home, not where I am now so I can't measure it.
I think the strips are 65" but anything longer than that is OK as I'll cut them to length.

I see you're referring to your retainer strip. 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. So, what we suggest is to use a clip like our 70-180 and a screw like our 70-112 and distribute them evenly around the frame. This is how storm door companies did it back in the day and it still works fine with modern doors.

Thank you. Can I order them from you? How many will I need?

It depends on the size of the door but I would suggest installing four or five on each side and maybe two at the top, to start.
