Screen door panels

[mr.c]

I am hosting the GMC roundup in Albuq, but here goes a short version. I have
only two panels and the right panel on the inside has a lip that comes inside
so it can open when I want to open the door. The outer panel is set to that
the lip in on the right side so It will close when you are on the outside.
Thus the lips of the two panels go out from the door. Does that help.

Don't feel too bad. I was a over a year not knowing that all the panels
slide to the left. I only found out at Forest City after I saw other
screen doors with 3 panels. Now the rattles are gone and I can open and
close the door with ease. Before it was a hassle as I slid a panel
one way to unlock the door and the other way to open the door.

By they way I don't consider myself mechanically challenged.
