Abstract
A storm door with a turn-away handle that does not obstruct normal manipulation of the storm door. The storm door permits seasonal changing between a screen or window and routine window cleaning without obstruction by an elongated handle. The storm door incorporates an actuator that has a hub with a free moving internal cam to permit moving an elongated handle from over an opening of the storm door to a position along the frame of the storm door. The method of use includes proving a storm door with a turn-away handle, moving it to a position that does not obstruct a window and screen, and moving it to a position that retracts a live bolt into the storm door.
