Problem with storm door.

[edgineered]

2. For the hinges to last 12+ years is pretty good.

When you do replace the door keep in mind that the hinges will last longer with a little lubrication. Maybe a drop of oil a few times a year as part of something you do as a routine, like when the time changes or sooner if they have a tendency to get dry. A few thoughts to consider - oil them before the winter freeze, use a door stop, a closer or similar method to prevent excess stress on the pins. As a general rule, it is not so much a problem of things getting wet that causes damage, it is the trapped water. If water puddles against the door drilling a weep hole along the bottom is suggested.

I'm sure your selection will be fine; the door is in good hands.
