Hey Guys,

I'm trying to fix a storm door that now has a sag in it and is difficult to shut/keep shut.

So I understand this is revolving around the hinges, but I cannot get to them.

Can somebody with a little more knowledge please tell me wtf the middle bolts/screws are? I can loosen up the top and bottom, but this middle section is giving me problems. Is this some of tri-tip screw or bolt?

Did you try channelocks ? A lot of times they will work on such as that. Takes a couple minutes, though.

It's a security storm door. The special screws are used to deter a burglar from easily removing the screws to break into your house.
