Storm door beading

Question

This is plastic beading that goes around the inside edges of the glass pane in our storm door. It is designed to snap into a channel in the door frame, but can removed so that the glass can be replaced with a screen during warmer weather. (The beading then snaps back in to hold the screen in place.) Over the years most of the beading has cracked and failed, so I need to replace all of it (29 3/4" x 73 1/4" rectangle).

Hello,

In the last twenty-five years, storm door companies have found that designing plastic retainer strips instead of using an old fashion storm door clips and screw is less expensive. The problem is that every different door company and sometimes even the same company changes the retainer strip almost every year, making it impossible to stock them. We suggest using a 70-180 storm door clip and drilling a hole for a 33-020 screw. Take a look and see what you think.
