And how are the hinges on THAT door configured?

Sliding patio door.

Okay, check the doors on every house on your block. Consider the majority
vote as some indicator of best practice.


Further, if you only use the front door infrequently, why bother
with a storm door?

To protect the 2-kilobuck fiberglass door that we just bought and
installed. There's no overhang of any kind.


If the door cost more than a couple hundred bucks, it will weather storms,
gunshots, meteor strikes, Halloween tricksters, home invaders, termites, a
blow-torch, SWAT team battering rams, and almost anything else nature, God,
ferocious animals, or humans can throw at it.

If you're still concerned, you can wrap it in aluminum foil.
