How to make a storm door latch!

3. I'm confused

and glad I found this thread, because I have been looking at a Larson Tradewinds door because Lowe's (more on them in a minute) recommended it.

Are you saying you have to slam the door? Or does just pushing it closed work? I can see why the latter would be annoying but it wouldn't seem to endanger the glass?

I am now thinking this experience is why the Lowe's guy was trying to sell me a "wind chain."

I am bent out of shape about Lowe's because they sold me a $35 measuring the door thing, saying I'd get a refund if I bought the door from them and had them install it. Then they refused to give me the measurements, so I have to pay someone to do this again if I buy the door elsewhere. It apparently is not as simple as the door width and height.

All in all, Lowe's is not looking like a place with integrity, which I used to think they were.
