How To Install A Storm Door In 30 Minutes | THE HANDYMAN |

[@klmbuilders5385]

We installed two of those doors last week. I was shocked at how easy it was. Like you say, nothing like the old days!

[@juleswithnorthstar]

Would've been nicer if he had explained what he was doing as he was doing it.

[@nikolasdang5196]

He’s putting in a bathtub

[@Ryanwhits]

@@nikolasdang5196 the comment was valid but your response made my day. I’m still laughing as I type this.

[@juniorfontenelle8214]

True. I can't say I learned anything here.

[@michaelh7527]

Actually he is installing a flux capacitor to travel back in time to stop the events that led to the damage of the deck 🤣🤣

[@dreadheaddavid4207]

I agree the whole time I'm watching this I'm thinking is he at any point going to stop for a few seconds and kind of explain what he's doing and what he's pre-drilling but no so I don't understand how this helps anyone

[@nathangould2856]

I struggled tremendously to get the screw covers or weather stripping installed on the sides. The top piece went on easy. Finally I used a blow dryer on the side screw covers to make them more flexible, then I ran my flat head screwdriver blade down the groove for the "short leg" in order to open up the groove a little, and it finally snapped in place.

[@TheCookster64]

Definitely getting an Andersen to replace the crappy exterior door to my screened in porch after watching this. I LOVE how the door catch is built into the frame. That is priceless. I may replace my original one on the kitchen door after seeing this.

[@anthonynguyen9779]

Hahaha...I am glad YOU got it done under 45 min. In reality, it takes lots of planning/ figuring things out prior. And in construction, it ALWAYS takes longer than you think. I have been looking at how my back door was constructed and not yet able to figure how to install the screen door that I could get at the typical hardware stores.

[@facingfacts7830]

I hear ya…he made this look so simple but I really couldn’t tell what all his steps are since he just does it and says nothing. I can’t even figure out how to get the piece of crap door I have OFF... which looks welded on the hinges t0 a metal frame around the door. Having hired handymen in the past that were no better than I am, I’d love to be able to figure this out myself.

[@sikskillz2186]

cool, great job. its worked out good. surprised about the strike plate.

[@BigDaddyThrock]

So, shouldn’t the screen door swing into the railing?

[@Rlaplante73]

Nice job! Good overview and the product was well designed to make installation truly a DIY project.

[@Th3Pr0digalS0n]

Of course you can do it in 30 mins, the hinges were already attached. My door was reversable, so I had to pick a side then screw the hinge on. The whole install took me an hour and a half. But that was the very first storm door installation I had ever done, and I had to remove the old door first.

[@johng9207]

Not Bad Thanks

[@brendapboyd513]

Curious why you wouldn’t have right swing on storm door?

[@BlackKettleRanch]

What I would like to know is how to oops proof a storm door from not getting caught by high wind and broken down the hinges. Is there a stronger storm door that is not made of particle board?

[@chris76-01]

Yes, but difficult and expensive to acquire.

[@vzangelo13]

I am star following you about 2 week ago i like your video a lot i am 47 year old and will became a homeowner + a handyman and you are my mentor thanks am king a curios which state do you live

[@danielyoder1462]

Everyone keeps knocking the makita tools but we beat the snot put of ours at the shop and they keep on coming back for more

[@margaretward1180]

Does it need to be caulked? My husband said they do. Thank you

[@KookinwithKidTroy]

Thanks for posting this. You made it look so easy.

[@SRTJEEPER]

About to do this job myself here shortly 👍 thanks for the crash course

[@bob120579]

This isn't a "how to install a door", it's a "watch meinstall a door"

[@jimmyjackass1805]

Exactly How he has this many subscribers is beyond me. I have done a few back years ago and just wanted to refresh my old ass memory. So for me it did just that. However for someone looking for step by step this absolute garbage.

[@josepina180]

No words at all how to start 😢😮

[@BlackWat3rGTR]

I have an Andersen 3000 that was installed before we purchased the house. This storm door's latch and deadbolt is too far away at full lock to actually keep the door shut. How can i fix this?

[@defcon4477]

So how did you you the lock cause the latch like a door lock have to create a hole correct

[@dirtyhandscleanmon3y]

thanks for describing in detail every step, you really made be better understand what i was going to be doing. some how to videos are awful and don’t explain anything and just fast forward.

[@susanjspaulding]

*GREAT job* !!! You installed new door and now you're installing *NEW storm door* !!! Residual business is *FAB* !! #TheHandyman

[@andreamercer7853]

Where did you get the screen door that slides from top my wife wants one

[@strozyvoodoo5395]

It's party of the design of that particular model of door. They typically run another $100 over a "full view" and $150 more than a "standard."

[@joedevitto6113]

very nice looks pretty simple then than to hire someone then saves money too ~ Thanks for Sharing

[@wendydenney8864]

Explain how you measure the door... is that the inside opening?

[@mydamhouse]

Planning on getting that same setup. Now that I think about it, I help someone install one similar to this and it took a while to do it plus it was a Larson instead of Anderson. Thank you for the video.

[@cliffapool2238]

What tool is he using to drive in those screws....I have a drill??

[@TheHandyman1]

Impact driver. Not a drill

[@Jerzy-George]

Got the storm door up just in time! Stay safe dude.

[@Ronbo765]

I notice that the storm door is butt up against the threshold of the main door. I've seen some storm doors that don't even come close. Is this a best practice?

[@strozyvoodoo5395]

Depends on the angle of the threshold of the inside door. Sometimes you just don't have a choice unless you purchase both doors at the same time. It's not a problem though if the storm has a low profile sweep.

[@elaztekasolitario4269]

So how do you install it what are the steps to follow.....

[@I-Noses]

I just bought one of these storm doors and I'm going to try to put it in🎉

[@ethelryan257]

No strike plates. We had several customer complaints about that when they first dropped the strike plates

[@earlchristie6979]

Those 2 holes in the latch rail are to be filled with supplied color matched plugs. The "strike plate" is the latch rail. Nice job. Mine did not go as well.

[@stoneyj1a1]

the bs "latch rail" failed the next day for me. I have to keep it locked at all times now

what door did you have, brand etc - thx

[@loyaltoday1911]

Thank you very much señor That's my next project

[@KableGuyCGY]

I have this same door. Why does the handle flip up? I havent found what it does. Great video!

[@briansierzega]

KableGuyCGY Those handles are made to flip up so kids and pets can’t easily and accidentally pull down and get out.

[@forthelord77]

What kind of brand is this door

[@pennyfulmer7709]

Is this on models home

[@goodingwashington6099]

Thanks for posting this video. I am planning to use this for a green house :) This will be perfect. Thanks again

[@booostedtc]

Nice job are storm doors water poof if it was coming down like crazy could you have your main door open and no water leak in. Does the handle not latch or lock?

[@wendydenney8864]

Left hand swing.... is that from the inside or outside?

[@typonegatiff1254]

Is there a catch for the dead bolt that you were playing with?? I don’t see a catch for that either??

Thank you, Sir, you help me much!

Hey thank you, I agree with other comments, (as a social media guy) I would just add a voice over when editting ❤

[@bassinbillRC5300]

What should be the charge to remove/install this storm door?

[@zehragrassl642]

What brand of door did you use? Link? Thanks!

[@robertulmer5886]

That's a first for me ive never seen a door closer put on the bottom before ( obviously it is intended to be as it has pre drilled holes for mount )

[@mitchellleclere289]

What brand of door is this and where did you get it please? This is exactly what I am looking for, a pre-framed storm door that you slap in place, screw down, shim and adjust, and done. Thank you in advance.

[@polarbearsrus6980]

Thanks for sharing, going to pick mine up and try it.

I'm a 50 ish yr old woman, my Mom bought me a storm door that when I took it out of the box looks like I need to call builder to install☺ way to complicated for me so it's been a door stop 😂 but this one I think I can handle ,our CREATOR ALMIGHTY YAHWEH and MESSIAH KING YAHSHUA💝 Jesus's real Hebrew NAME that means YAHWEH SAVES💝 willing. Thank you so much for this dyi project you gave me hope ☺May ALMIGHTY YAHWEH please bless and keep you💝 now I just have to find one that has a key to lock it from the outside☺ this is so perfect for what I need☺thank you.

[@kevinmullen5008]

Do you need caulking between the metal and the wood ?

[@new_and_tasty6500]

Caulking where the frame meets the wood is recommended. Source: I watch my installer DAP up storm doors almost every weekday

Want to try to install one myself. Wish you woulda explained "step by step."

[@LisaJanette]

Decent vid, just one curious question.....why would u have the door swing against the flow of the deck? That part makes no sense. We're switching our our partly for that reason. And they're soooo ugly.

[@tango4628]

Why is the hydraulic pump on the bottom? Usually on top so you don't kick it

[@MrKillerRC]

Mine has 2. At top and bottom.

[@MinkasMessages]

So you can’t lock it?

[@fyahhype]

What’s the name of this door ? Can you provide a link to it

[@jeffm.2119]

Looks like andersen 3000 at home depot

[@ST-xg3gy]

How do you tighten and secure the handle?

[@stoneyj1a1]

yeah, I had a real problem with that too. it would not go in correctly at first, you really have to fumble around with it. Then the spring isn't very springy and it gets stuck. And then you are able to twist the handle vertical once its in. Very unsettlling. We keep it locked at all times now.

Man getting ready to do 3 of these in a few minutes. Sitting here at customers waiting. Asked if i could hold off for few minutes. He’s getting his kids to school. Anyway, i told him 1.5 hrs a door estimated. Lololol but we will see if he got the correct doors, he wants two of them on a French door so i have to build out the jam on two.

[@rantano1]

I know that we have to pay extra for handles ,but what about installing screws to the opening frame?

[@LvisPazley1]

Just watched the video. Nice job! My wife wants to know about your entry door. Where was it purchased? I'm curious as to what model of Anderson storm door that is. Thanks!

Bottom weatherstrip pre-installed too? Very different from the bad old days....

[@TheHandyman1]

I did adjust it before leaving. Just loosen 2 screws and slide it down or up.

[@homemadefood7197]

Howmuch do you charge to install that door ?

[@3rdshifter642]

So when it says "left hand swing" i'm guessing that means from the inside going out?

[@strozyvoodoo5395]

It just means the side the handle is on. It's actually opposite the way the door actually swings.

[@CM-fm9rg]

Which model door was that.? And also great job

The storm door and main door open the wrong way according to how the porch is designed. Aren't the plants always in the way of the door entry?

Can you secure the door? And does it come with a key?

What is this door called

[@Albert-bo7rr]

It used to be you had to dig that header rail out of the box first off and give it a good test fit making sure it wasn't too snug before even attempting anything else

What kind of tool belt is that ? I’ve been looking for one like that size , thanks in advance for your reply and great video

[@peterunderhill]

I recommend this one highly... Don't have to swamp an actual belt. I use it for fine trim work and light wood working stuff... And especially wood tasks where I need a drill around.

Can u do work in san Francisco.

[@samgriffin6221]

Sooooo how much you charge????

[@gichiguy007]

Just asking, Wouldn't a storm door swinging the other way have been a better idea?

[@williamc.5325]

In my mind, if it were on the other side, and storms were bad enough to catch the door, it would slam into the side of the porch there. With it up this way, the hinges should stop it from hitting the house, and if it’s bad enough winds it’ll just rip off anyway.

[@jasonsmith5196]

Storms doors almost always should open towards the outside and be opposite swing of entry door. I say almost always because there are always some strange circumstances but he definitely installed it correctly.

[@johnmilner6419]

No door uses the door as a latch, friend. You need to build up the outside trim to make room for a real deadbolt or latch strike. It's an easy job; cost < $100.🙂

How much did you charge them? DFW texas probably around $200 for a storm.

Was there a hole for the lock to go into?

Looks easy! I need 2. How much was it?

[@strozyvoodoo5395]

Usually $300-350 depending on where and when you get it.

[@Freedom_004]

First 👍🏻 nice video 👍🏻👊🏻

[@fotinigavrilis537]

Is it because the video is reversed that on my end it looks like a right hand door and not a left?

[@tomcordio173]

I’ve installed three of these doors. I noticed that you didn’t plug the two holes on the latch side jamb near the latch. In the hardware package, there are plastic plugs that are to be pushed into each of the two holes. They’re not functional, but simply cosmetic.

[@TheHandyman1]

After i went back and looked at the directions looking for a latch I found that the holes are for 2 plugs.
