The product, in the report: EMCO/Andersen Fullview interchangeable screen storm door
EMCO/Andersen Fullview interchangeable screen storm door. The product in question has a removable full-size double pane insulated glass insert. This glass insert is very heavy - estimated at more than 30 lbs. It is inserted into the storm door frame from the inside of the door after removing the screen insert. In order swap the screen for the glass insert, a switch needs to be activated on the door so that the door handle lever can be moved into the full vertical position. This lever position disengages the mechanism that holds the insert (glass insert, or screen insert) in place. After inserting the heavy glass insert and returning the door handle to the horizontal position, the switch is supposed to re-engage to prevent the lever from moving into the release position, and the mechanism is supposed to retain the heavy glass insert. However, due to an unknown mechanical defect/failure, the door handle lever can be moved to the full upright and vertical position WITHOUT actuating the switch. This disengages the mechanism that retains the insert in the frame of the storm door, allowing the glass insert to free-fall into the house, potentially falling on people or pets inside the entryway. EMCO/Andersen has not acknowledged the significance this failure and will not provide replacement parts to address the defect that is causing the safety issue.
