to relieve the pressure issue of closing on a closed interior door. That would probably come at the cost of R value, but I'd rather the door latched.

I lost a screen door to a damn "trim your trees" grifter and a wind strong enough to rip the wind chain loose. I saw the leaflets stuck into neighbor's doors.

No... Thor_MN Mar 2015 #8

Venting is fine Digit Mar 2015 #9

Again, no. Why would one set the door to close with the air resistance when one has removed it? Thor_MN Mar 2015 #10
