Strips to hold screen/storm into door frame

Question

Plastic strips crack often. When we ordered the door we ordered extra strips from
AluminArt in Sandstone. I have the invoice and it is showing item number as
15522 and it was purchased in 2009. Wondering if the strips are still available.

Thanks for posting. I am afraid I can't cross-reference that data to anything in our database; however I am almost certain you won't be able to find this strip anyway. 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.
