Help identify this brand of door...please

11 years ago
I apologize in advance for the picture quality, but I am looking for some help to identify this brand of combination wood storm door on our 1940's colonial home that is underway of being restored. We have started on the outside this month, repairing all the wood clapboards and have gotten to where we are ready to remove and repair the storm doors on the balcony, front entry and back doors. The storm door has already been removed from the front entry so it any be seen in these pictures.

These are original 1940's or earlier wood combination storm doors in great working condition and all 5 doors still have both the 8 light glass insert and screen insert, however, one of the doors is missing 2 of the 4 screws that operate the locking mechanism that holds the inserts in each of the 4 corners. These screws turn a "plate" that slides into or out of a mortised groove to lock the inserts in place. In addition, one of the plates is missing. It looks very much like a door posted by RosemaryT,only I can't see the inside view to know for sure.

The windows are an Anderson Pressure Seal double hung window from the 40's and all original to this house of only now 2 owners. I was hoping the storm door might be an Anderson combination door but I have no idea...sooo....someone please help us or point is in a good direction. There are no markings on the doors that are visible but I will know for certain when we IR heat strip the doors down to bare wood this weekend. We have been searching the Internet for 2 weeks trying to find it and have looked at thousands of pictures by now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Our goal is to restore everything back to the original condition, so we are trying to keep it all authentic.

Thanks,
Chris
