Default Vented Storm Doors Available?

Thanks guys.....as I recall, the round soffit vents are even
screened so that should work well.........Ed S.

I was told (by a HD dude) that there is a storm door
manufacturer that puts permanent vents at the top and
bottom of one of their storm door models to provide
"chimney-like" venting of the space between the "real" door
and the storm door. (The door sales guy can't remember the
manufacturer .... of course) My door faces South and the
heat build-up warped the original fiberglass/plastic
mouldings around the window panes in the entrance
door.....I have since made wood mouldings up special and
replaced the original moulding, and that works fine. I
would really like to get rid of the intense heat in that
space though.....the "full view" storm sash is really just
for looks + I have film on it to prevent fading of the
entrance door.

Anyone know of such a vented storm door? The only one I
have been able to "Google Up" has a monster vent clear
across the bottom (looks bad) and none at the top!

If I could round up some brass bezels, I believe I could
drill and install several small, round, screened vents
myself.....but I would need a few "courage pills" before
taking a sawhole drill to a new door )
