Project 2653 – New Aluminum Security Storm Doors – 1993
Click on Photos to Enlarge
In our humble opinion, the most durable aluminum storm-door on the market is manufactured today by Truax Builder’s Supply (www.truaxnw.com). There are prettier storm doors, but none as durable.
These storm doors were formerly built by LBL, but the production tools, the extrusions and all rights were sold to Truax in the 1990’s as LBL moved entirely to Vinyl products.
Their “SX” versions of the two basic models (Model 70 full-lite and the model 60 self-storing) offer the advantage of an aluminum grill-grid insert as shown above, and also in photo #2.
They offer the best storm door lock we’ve ever come across. Lever handles and a keyed deadbolt tied together by means of a mortise-case lock. And you can get it in any color you like, as long as it’s black.
