Charlie:
Kerry in Cypress has an eight-year-old storm door, professionally installed.
Tom:
That’s the way to go.
Charlie:
Recently, when unlocked, he can push it with one finger and it opens. He doesn’t see excessive wear, but is there anything he can do to keep it closed when he pushes on it, like the dog will lean on it and the thing pops open?
Podcast: Play in new window
Tom:
Hire a professional. I’m sorry. That has to be readjusted. The lock’s not working, so the door’s gone out of square or something.
Charlie:
I don’t think the professionally-installed door was professionally installed if it’s not staying latched.
Tom:
If the house shifted or something.
Charlie:
If that’s the case, then it has to be rehung by, maybe even the same professional, if he did a good job at the beginning.
Tom:
Call the professionals.
Charlie:
Yeah.
