storm door
Outer entrance barrier
A storm door is a secondary outer door installed in front of an exterior entrance, providing extra insulation and protection from weather.
Storm doors typically have interchangeable glass and screen panels for seasonal adjustment: We switch the storm door to screens in summer.
They reduce drafts and can extend the life of the main door.
