double hinged screen door
Has anyone ever installed a screen door with double acting hinges
(swings both ways) and managed to keep the bugs out? Is there a simple solution to the need to seal all edges, e.g. sweep all around as on the bottom? Is it just a crazy idea? |

If you reduce the size of the door so it can swing both ways you will let in insects. |

I get that. My question is if there's a sweep type seal (or anything I
haven't heard of) that has been proven to work in keeping that gap closed and the insects out. |
