I'm a female DIY homeowner and rely on KZread a lot. I don't have Dad around to help me take things on anymore. This is the one and only video on KZread with a proper step-by-step for installing these storm doors. After weeding through a bunch of garbage, I was worried I wasn't going to find one. Your editing is perfect and makes it easy to follow. This video has everything you want and need in an instructional video. No nonsense. Thank you for doing this one, Fixer. You have a new fan here.
Excellent video. No screwing around, gets directly to the point yet still very comprehensive. Great job!
Thank you so gosh darn much for this video. I put up one of these doors about five years ago as the wind took my previous one. I remember it being one of the most stressful and difficult things I ever had to do as a home owner. When my most recent one was broken, I figured I would just sell my house. Unfortunately i need my house so i started researching doors. I settled on this one thinking that i could just pop the hinge on and keep all the other stuff from the last door, right where it is. I was wrong lol. This door sat in my living room for two weeks. Contractors wanted $250 at least to come and put it up. You saved me $250 that i can now spend on stupid stuff and that just means the world to me. Seriously though, you made the entire process easy to follow, way better than the instructions, and I managed to get it up and looking better than my last one. Thank you so very gosh darn much.
Man it's amazing how you have a video for literally everything that is also currently wrong with my old house. You are just the best. I also appreciate that it's just you. Makes me more confident that my not-very-handy partner and I can do it together.
Finished installing the emco300. At 76, I had to do alot of pre-planning. Four hours once I started. Biggest problem I had was those clear shims. Darn things had a way to disappear twice. Overall follow the instructions watch your video and you can’t go wrong. Thanks for making these videoes
I saw a couple of videos but yours is definitely the best. It made the task less intimidating . Been waiting for my installer for way too long. He will be surprised next week as I'll do it myself! Thank you for all the details on this video!
I’ve done a lot of things in construction over the years but a storm door has not been one of them. I was able to successfully install my first storm door after watching your video. Appreciate the info here. Keep doing what you do. JC

wow, I can now see all the mistakes my installer did to my screen door, now I can reverse his mistakes. Thank You fixer.
Your instructions are fantastic. I’ve been trying to install my storm door for a solid week, still leaning on side of house. Think I can now do it today. Thanks….
Very good job on the instillation, you made it look so easy! My front storm door got busted a couple nights ago and I had to pick up a new storm door so this is my project for today! I expect things to go easier after watching your video!
Excellent instructional video! Removed my old door tonight, and plan to install this exact same door tomorrow morning. Keep up the good work!
Nice video. My first time installing a storm door.
Liked because I was watching a different storm door video and my wife recommended this one. (Same door). Watched it once, thought, yeah, I'm good. After 7 or 8 more skip aheads, yeah, I needed the video for a few parts. Thanks for helping this first timer!

Yep! Those wives know!!
We just finished ours up. Took about 3 hours because we were missing parts and had to go back to Home Depot. It was definitely a lot easier having seen it first hand. Thanks for these; subscribed!
Very good job my friend. You make it look simple. Thanks a lot for the awesome video. Steve
About to install a storm door this is got to be the best tutorial I've seen. Appreciate the tips along the way to do a cleaner more professional job. 👍
This was the only video to install this brand of door that was clear and thorough and helped SO much with my door install. Thank you!
Usually I dont give the time of day on a video that isn't exactly like what I have, but you did such a great job showing how and what you was doing I watched almost the whole video..... I have the cheaper 100 series, it starts out similar but I can see that you have a much better door when you get to the latch and how the screen works. So after watching several videos on storm door installs and for anyone that has this 400 series I highly recommend your video, it's by far the best how-to video on YT👍
Thank you for a wonderful experience of hanging this door. I liked the way you took it step by step. The hardest thing for me was getting the screw covers on. All most messed up the hole appearance of the outside of the door.
Probably the most comprehensive and well explained video I have watched. Thanks for that!
I had no idea there were so many pieces and steps involved. Where I live nobody has storm doors, we have screen doors and they have like three pieces total and you can install them with your eyes closed and drunk.
I purchased two new storm doors (different brand/models from the one you showed here) and planning to install them this weekend. This will be my first time doing it and hope all goes well! By the way, I just notice how nice and smooth your hands are (for a handyman :-). Thanks for sharing and great video!
What a perfect job installing the door.. Unfortunately my door was not put in well or even close to your install. A half inch gap between frame and door, gaps all around. Door slammed and glass window dropped and smashed inside. Now I know what to expect for a correct install.
Very helpful. I followed the steps and installed my storm door right away. Thank you so much!!
Thanks for taking your time and providing the perfect amount of detail.
Thanks for sharing this important information about step by step guide. Others tried to give information but they don't give the time to explain like you did. Gotta say that you're a great teacher. 😃😃😃
Thank you for a very informative video, helping my sister install two doors for the first time and this truly helped us! 😊❤
Thanks! Got my door installed correctly thanks to your thorough, step-by-step instructions and explanations. :)
Thank you SO very much!!! The directions that came with my storm door were impossible to follow!! I am so very grateful for your video. Perfect! You are my hero today!
I watched this entire video and paid almost no attention to the directions for my storm door, and it looks amazing and functions perfectly. Thanks man!
Perfect demonstration! Im good at 99% of what you did, but I am glad that my daughters have a great place to go to when im not available for them. Thank you.

Great video and no ridiculous music and not too wordy .thank you
Excellent step by step…very clear to even neophytes. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial. The part that made me feel better was watching the strip go on that covers all the outer screws. I know it sounds weird, but I have a double wide house that the outside of the storm door has like a hundred hex head chrome screws in it that show, and it has always bothered me. I am fixing to replace my front door and storm door, and was very worried that it would be the same.
Great video brother, thanks for the patience you have to take us trough the process, thanks again
Great video! I have to replace my storm door before winter gets here and this gave me a lot of confidence.
Another great video. You are easy to watch and listen to.
This is very helpful. Thanks so much again !
Awesome! Great video an helped a lot with installing my first screen door! Thanks for taking the time to make a video to help others like me!

Hey, Mary! I do not have a video on a gas water heater. Thinking about teaming up with a plumber to make videos like that in the future. Stay tuned!
Man, GREAT video! I can't tell you how much I appreciate the explanation behind each step! I'm redoing one I jacked up a few years ago...

Thank u for ur video, installed mine without problems.
That was really a great video! Very detailed. Planning to put in a couple of storm doors at my house and was going to hire someone to put them in for me. After seeing your video, I have decided that I can really do this myself and save myself some money at the same time. Will be looking for more of your videos. Thanks!
