Door Closer Leaves Hands Free Viewing in Doors & Windows In the past, in order to keep a screen door or storm door in the open position, you had to slide a washer along the shaft, which can be very awkward, especially when you are carrying a big load. In this new design, all you have to do is push a button and the door stays open in any position you want. If going in and out with a big load, just push the button to hold the door open, and then simply push on the door after your last load and it shuts behind you, automatically.

Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question The best answers are voted up and rise to the top I have a screen door that has a pneumatic brace that keeps the door open. It is currently stuck open and I'm trying to press the release mechanism, but I can't get it to release. Any ideas on how to get it to work?
I just utilized Tester101's method of opening the door further and it worked perfectly. Just open the door as wide as it'll go and the locking gizmo disengages. I've had screen doors that were propped open with the brace and when people try to swing it shut without thinking, they end up bending the little metal brace itself, not allowing it to close. You can usually bend it back with a little shove but it probably won't shut as smoothly as before. If the little metal piece that keeps it open is stuck, then maybe get some pliers and wiggle it some to try and get it to slide back down so you can close the door. If the bracket that attaches the closing device to the door has a number of settings where you can put a screw, thenDetach the bracket that attaches to the door itself. Then close the door a little bit and reattach the bracket so that there is a lot more slack to be able to open the door. Now you should be able to open the door wider and release the latching mechanism

Storm doors, perfect for adding extra home security and protection against bad weather, are easy to install. However, installing a storm door to an entry door with sidelights is slightly more complicated. Don’t attempt this project yourself before reading the article below. Step 1 – Take Measurements Measure the height and width of the entry door, as you will be building out the frame of the door to cover it in the following steps. The doorknob should be cleared by at least 1 inch, but the build-out should not extend past the overhang of the frame. Step 2 – Cut the Wood Transfer the measurements to the lumber and then cut them out. Cut out one for each side of the frame.
Each piece will be the height of the door and the same width as the frame. Cutting for the Knob Set the pieces in place, and check that there is adequate clearance for the knob. Measure the distance for the knob, and cut another two pieces until the doorknob is safely cleared. When you’re finished, sand down the rough edges of the cut wood for a clean look. Step 3 – Install the Frame Build-Out Apply construction adhesive to one piece of the wood you cut in the second step for each side of the frame, and then place the other piece on top. Once the glue is dry, install them to the frame. Screwing in the Frame Place the first piece of wood on the door frame directly on top of the frame. Make sure it is properly lined up, and screw it in place. Place several screws down the length of the build-out. Place the second side and install it in the same manner. Step 4 – Finish the Build-Out To make sure the build-out blends in with the rest of the frame, apply wood putty over the screw holes, spreading the putty to be flush with the wood.
Sand the putty flat once it’s dry. Painting the Build-Out and Frame Then, paint the build-out and the frame. Match the paint or stain color to the rest of the frame. Apply a second coat when the first is dry. Do not install the storm door until the paint or stain is dry. Step 5 – Install the Storm Door Now, you can install the storm door the same way as it would have been without the frame build-out. Install the hinges to the storm door, if they are not already in place, with the included screws. Then, set the storm door in place over the entry door. Set the hinges flush against the build-out. Place one wood screw in the top hole of the top hinge, and then screw it in place. Repeat with the bottom hole of the bottom hinge. Make sure the storm door is square and level, and then place the remaining screws.This Site Owned and Operated By "Sliding Glass Door Service and Parts LLC" Your Credit Card Will Show "Sliding Glass Door Service and Parts LLC" On Your Credit Card Statement
