need to replace the retainer strip on a storm door. I did not purchase the door but the material of this retainer strip is hard plastic. again not sure if this is due to the age of the door or if it was always a hard plastic.

Unfortunately, we aren't able to supply a match for this kind of retainer strip. Storm door manufacturers change their design all the time and it's difficult for companies like us to keep up.

With that in mind, I recommend going with a new 70-180 clip and 70-112 thumb screw. You can place these evenly around the door and they will serve the same purpose. This is how storm door manufacturers did it back in the day and we find it still works well.

Alternatively, you could just cut your existing strip into equal portions and distribute it similarly. You don't need the whole strip for it to function.
