Comments (2)If I understand this and you have not fixed it yet it there could be a few problems. Firstly, on the T-astrigal there should have been a weatherstrip applied onto the t-astrigal where the active door comes into contact when the door closes. Unfortunatly as time passes the weatherstrip retains a memory and doesnt have a bounce back to keep contact with the active door. This is taken care of by replacing the weatherstrip with a new one. This will Usually take care of 90% of any problems you might have with gaps and air leaks. If this is indeed the problem you should replace all the surrounding weatherstrip as well. Your local Home Depot or Lowes keeps it in stock....See MoreHELP! Front door/storm door problem
Comments (2)Hang one door the other way around (ie, hinge one door on one side of the frame and the other door on the other side?) Not such a PITA as you might think- it's just occurred to me our door is hinged like that and I've never given it a second thought....See MoreBefore you buy an EMCO storm door
Comments (2)Although they have their downsides, Larson door makes a nice aluminum extruded door. I'd stay away from the their "skinned" doors as I don't think they are not all that nice....See MoreAndersen Emco 400 storm door. Help with re-attachment of latch.
