The safety spring and chain

That spring hanging overhead to keep wind or an over-exuberant teen from pulling the door beyond the limit of the automatic closer. Make certain that it’s still connected. If it’s getting in your hair, then the small nail that’s supposed to hold up middle of it is missing or not connected. Also make sure that the bracket on the door jamb and the door are screwed into their respective places. If the screws on the door side are stripped out, then replace them with a slightly larger screw, or buy some machine bolts and nuts of the same diameter and run them through the security storm doors, placing the heads on the outside for a neater looking repair job. If your safety spring and chain is missing, most home improvement stores carry them for around ten dollars.
