Rick I just checked out my screen door and what I found was that the little tab that is supposed to hold the door open needs to have the bent portion on the top If the bent piece is pointed down my door closes very easy but iif it is pointed up it holds just fine. If that does not help you can try to bend the tab inward a bit with a plyers. I think I would try this before I spent money on a new one. The good news is that if you brake or bend any thing trying to bend the tab then replacing it with a new one will not be that spendy or difficult.

What is the piece called that controls how fast/slow a storm door closes? In addition, you can push the metal piece back to hold the door open. My storm door on the patio closes fine at just about the right speed. However, I've recently noticed that it slips when I have the piece pushed back to hold it open? Is there an adjustment or something I can do to prevent the door from closing when I want it to stay open. To the best of my knowledge the screw at the end of the piece controls how fast the door closes.
