Storm Door Wedge (For Broken Hinge)

thingiverse

I small wedge you can add near a broken hinge to help your storm door close. I made this because in my house, the bottom hinge of the storm door was broken, and sometimes it would stick and stay open. To close the storm door, originally you would have to kick the bottom corner from the inside of the house. now with this wedge, you no longer have to kick it, the wedge adds that bit of extra distance needed, and the corners are rounded to help it close correctly. Both sides of the wedge are slightly different sizes, so you can flip it in either direction depending on the size of the door rail. You can pick from a 3mm, 3.5mm, or 4mm gap between the 2 sides of the wedge for a better grip. The one shown in the picture has a 4mm gap. The recommended size for a storm door is 3.5mm gap. The 3mm gap has Not been tested, and may require a hammer.
