Hello:
There is 'full-view Glass Aluminum Screen Storm Door at the front side of my house.
Recently, I noticed 'catch/hinge' does not shut tight that happens when closing the storm door from outside, however it's no problem when closing from inside the house.
My son tried to fix to 'shut-tight' jiggling a screw, however it's still the same result.
I'm concerned about this, because it might be 'wreck' storm door when gusty wind 50-60 hits
during windy days.
Is there a way to fix this issue, .... 'shut-tight' both from outside and inside?
Thanks for your advice and suggestion in advance.
First, figure out why the latch isn't latching. Is it because the door closer is closing the door too slowly? Is the latch sticking? Is the latch misaligned with the catch in the door frame?
When closing from the outside, is the main door closed? It could just be an adjustment of the piston and air resistance from the closed door. Note those storm door pistons have two settings, one for winter (usually all glass and one for summer with a screen). It's where you hook the piston to the storm door side. Look for two holes. I believe the inner one is for summer.
Hi, I am having trouble finding info on how to repair the framing on the large kitchen window in my home. It is single pane but has framing on the interior and exterior. The framing is damaged on exterior and interior. It's chipped in some areas and the paint is peeling off most of it.
I'm not sure what materials I'm working with or what materials are needed to repair it. On exterior, the chipped areas might be plaster, and the framing itself is wood. On interior the framing looks like it's just wood. I'm a new homeowner and haven't repaired something like this before. Any help/resources you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My husband is insistent we would have to bust up our tile floors to add a set of french doors with side lights to a finished uncased opening between our entryway and family room. I was wondering if there was a way to create and attach a threshold to the tile floor?
I'm trying to figure out the most cost effective way of installing the doors. We do not have the wall space the way the room is to do barn doors.
