    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.

    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.

    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

    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👍

    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.
