Mine faces south-west with no overhang. Sometimes in the summer the
door gets too hot to the touch. It is a steel door and painted white.
It oxidizes badly. I use a light abrasive auto-body grit on it once a
year, wax, and buff with an electric auto-buffer. It is best to
remove the door and lay it on two saw horses to refinish it.
