ABSTRACT:
A door, such as a storm door, including a body having an aperture therethrough for receiving at least one window element. The body has joined but spaced apart exterior and interior panels. The exterior panel has an integrally formed weep hole therethrough which intersects the aperture and thereby puts the aperture in fluid communication with an exterior surface of the exterior panel so as to allow moisture to drain from the aperture. The weep hole can be concealed in a recessed lower portion of a molding member which is integrally formed with the exterior panel. Thus, the weep hole is concealed from normal view and the attractiveness of the door is not compromised. Additional weep holes can be added as needed for proper drainage.
