Problem with storm door.

[japple]

Years ago, my parents installed a solid glass storm door on the front doorway of the house. (Both Mom and Dad are gone now and the house is mine.) It held up for maybe 12 years, but the hinges finally gave way after several repairs and I had to have it removed. Is this a common problem for solid glass storm doors? Are they all created equal? What would be a good alternative? This doorway leads to a large screened porch and I like to keep it open during the day for the additional light and so I can see out into my yard. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
