Last fall Dad and I replaced the back door. The new door was great to have in the winter, as the old one was falling apart and not at all weather tight. But I was left without a screen door to have air flow in the summer.
Luckily storm doors are very easy to install. The whole project took about 3 hours, which includes going to get the door. I went with the brown door, one they had the correct size and Rachel tells me I can paint it later if I really want to because I miss the purple.
The soft close came with the door, Dad also encouraged me to pick up a wind chain, I happily agreed.
My neighbor has an issue with her door when the wind caught it and slammed it into the railing. So now her door is bent and can't close. On winding nights I can hear it banging around, then I have to go make sure that the banging isn't coming from anything on the outside of my house, which is rather inconvenient for me.
With the damper the door can't open far enough to need the wind chain. So we skipped that step.
It was great to have the storm door for grilling last night.
