My front storm door didn't latch and was caught in high winds, resulting in the door frame/jamb being pulled and damaged. I'd like to repair it.
The piece of the door frame that the storm door was attached to is an odd shape. It's close to a 1×1 but narrower on one dimension and looks curved on the front. It looks like there might be similar pieces going around that window next to the door.
I'm wondering if it's standard, or I could expect to find it at a big box store?
It also looks like there was an additional shim piece or something on the lower part of the trim.

I am interested to note that piece of broken wood looks to have been attached using deck screws. Wood on the other side has nails which I think would be more typical for something like this.
I wonder if that piece was attached just to accept the storm door they had.
You could back into the project. First find a storm door that will fit the space, then determine what you need to accept the mounting. Remove the deck screwed broken piece and put up the new piece.
You will need to repaint the whole thing. Do that before you put up the storm door but after you have the new wood in place.
