    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    Howdy. Good job Handyman. A few years ago, I was buying new Larson storm doors wholesale for $86 and offering them installed on Craigslist for $199. I got a lot of business from homeowners; and not just from my storm door marketing honey trap. It was during that time, I decided how much easier it is when you install the same brand over and over. Now, I use the "same brand technique" on ceiling fans, disposals, locks, doors, faucets, toilets, etc. - The other day (Thursday) I had to buy a different brand set of glass shower doors to install. Sure enough, it took me twice as long as my regular Sterling brand. The excess, hidden profit, or loss, is how familiar are you with the brand, instructions, process and technique? - I think the Larson storm doors are still only $109 at Lowes. Anderson's are very expensive compared. -

    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.

    They don't come with safety springs. So when you remove the old door save the spring and hardware. You probably won't find a place to attach to the new door because they're paper-thin plastic. Suggest you hang the door opposite your prevailing wind, or else hold on tight while holding groceries, purse and a baby.

    This is true, but in my case it was dictated by my deck approach from my drive, and the swing of the inside door. I shy away from having opposing swing doors, Ex. (Storm opens from left and inside opens from right). Then you always feel like you're crawling into an opening to get to your inside door handle.

    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.
