Gothic arch storm doors, built to the point.
D.W. Ross is an Arch Angle dealer in Cleveland, and Arch Angle builds storm doors to a Gothic point: two curves, struck from opposite sides, that meet at the top of the opening.

The shape people get told no on.
A Gothic arch is two arcs, not one curve. In an aluminum storm door the frame changes bend direction at the point, so it has to be stretch-bent or it kinks.
Arch Angle builds the storm door to the point, so a Gothic entry is not left behind a rectangle.
