We've got a left-hinge door, and my husband wants to install the storm
door
right-hinge. Here's a picture of our setup:

(It shows the old door and storm both of which were installed left-
hinge.)
It seems really inconvenient to me, and I'm trying to talk him out of
it
(although I expect to lose, as I have lost every damned point on our
current project.)
Does anybody have anything that I could use to persuade him?
Thanks,
Cindy Hamilton
Several factors go into making a decision on which way to mount a storm
door.
Prevailing winds. If winter winds will blow across and grab the door out of
your hand and smash it all to heck that is a really good reason to mount the
door backward.
If the handle on the screen door would conflict with the door handle that
would be a good reason to mount it backward also.
If none of the above applies then my opinion is that is a real stupid way to
hinge a storm door.
