Vented Storm Doors Available?

I was told (by a HD dude) that there is a storm door manufacturer that puts permanent vents at the top and bottom of one of their storm door models to provide "chimney-like" venting of the space between the "real" door and the storm door. (The door sales guy can't remember the manufacturer .... of course) My door faces South and the heat build-up warped the original fiberglass/plastic mouldings around the window panes in the entrance door.....I have since made wood mouldings up special and replaced the original moulding, and that works fine. I would really like to get rid of the intense heat in that space though.....the "full view" storm sash is really just for looks + I have film on it to prevent fading of the entrance door.

Anyone know of such a vented storm door? The only one I have been able to "Google Up" has a monster vent clear across the bottom (looks bad) and none at the top!

If I could round up some brass bezels, I believe I could drill and install several small, round, screened vents myself.....but I would need a few "courage pills" before taking a sawhole drill to a new door :o)

Ed, Consider the small round soffit vents.

Good question, and I've been wondering the same. I was looking at storms at Menard's and one of their people asked if they could help me. I posed your question, and he thought most of the screened units would work. I question his knowledge though. Plus if I posted it will give this thread a bump.
