TL;DR: In this article, a storm door lock is presented where a clamp is secured to an associated screen-door type closure member and a slidable rod mounted with an abutment surface for actuation by a user with a pivoted lever at the other end of said rod for canting about a piston rod associated with a door closure.
Abstract: A storm door lock apparatus is set forth wherein a clamp is secured to an associated screen-door type closure member that further secures a slidable rod mounted with an abutment surface for actuation by a user with a pivoted lever at the other end of said rod for canting about a piston rod associated with a door closure. Additionally, a generally "L" shaped link is securable to the abutment member for allowing engagement and access by a user.

TL;DR: In this paper, an entrance door night-light contained within an enclosure that is mounted to the head of an entrance doorway between the storm door and the entrance door is used to project light onto the door handle and lockset area.
Abstract: An entrance door night-light contained within an enclosure that is mounted to the head of an entrance doorway between the storm door and the entrance door. The enclosure is positioned to project light onto the doorhandle and lockset area. The enclosure contains a lamp, powered by a DC voltage source, a momentary switch that makes contact with the storm door and is used to switch the lamp on when the storm door is opened, and a photocell used to keep the lamp off during daylight, even when the storm door is open.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hold-open apparatus for controlling the position of a door is presented, which can maintain a door in a predetermined open position, such as about 45° to about 100° in relation to a closed position.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a hold-open apparatus for controlling the position of a door, preferably a screen door or storm door. The apparatus is used in conjunction with a piston assembly and can maintain a door in a predetermined open position, such as about 45° to about 100° in relation to a closed position. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus can automatically lock and/or unlock when the door reaches predetermined positions. The apparatus advantageously can be retrofitted to existing door assemblies.

TL;DR: In this paper, a U-shaped Z-bar, a reinforcing element insertable between one leg of the Z-Bar and the door jamb, and a door hingedly connected to the U-Bar is used to prevent the door from moving from an open position toward a closed position until the latching assembly has been intentionally released.
Abstract: A storm door assembly which includes a U-shaped Z-bar, a reinforcing element insertable between one leg of the Z-bar and the door jamb, and a door hingedly connected to the Z-bar. The door includes a top rail, bottom rail, side rails and a center mullion. A return spring assembly is enclosed and hidden within one or more of the top or bottom rails or the center mullion, each of which is hollow. A sliding latching assembly is provided on one of the side rails of the door, and is slidingly movable to a position of cooperation with a portion of the return spring assembly to prevent the door from moving from an open position toward a closed position until the latching assembly has been intentionally released.
