Yes the screen is in a tight track the same one that the glass rides in. It is similar to a two track storm window that when you pull down the glass it is in front of the other window. So when it is pulled down for the screen you are looking through two pieces of glass. When the window is closed, in the up position, there is a split glass window. The door is a Larson now made by Pella. Because of all of the glass there are two door closer units one at top and bottom. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 10:17 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] getting lazy
it must be in a tight track to keep crawlies out? But where do you store the pane when not in use? Does that slide into a hollow in the door?
