Storm door wont stay open

by Wade

Question

The piece of metal you use to slide up the bar to prop the screen door open wont stay in place. It will appear to hold then walk itself down slowly to the closed position. Help! - Wade

Answer

The small triangular piece of metal that slides along the bar on the door closer needs to be replaced. There are repair kits at Home Depot or Loews that include this part. See also my Storm Door Hardware page
