I have watched about 6 videos on how to install security screens-(researching for my upcoming project) this is the most comprehensive I’ve seen thus far. You addressed ALL of the issues I’m aware that I will be facing with sloped trim and tight clearance! What’s even better is you are installing the exact door I bought. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Hey that's great to hear. So glad I could help. I've installed 100s of these and often ran into tricky little issues, so I'm happy to share the knowledge. Thanks so much for watching.
Excellent video. I need to install one of these in my home also and the door you installed is the identical one I chose from Home Depot. I’ve never done this before but you made it look so easy. With all your fabulous installation tips I now have the confidence to install my own. Thank you so much.
That's great to hear. I've installed 100s of these and they're surprisingly tricky based on the surface, so I thought I'd share the tips I've learned along the way. Good luck and thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
Thanks for that note about using regular screws to line it up before using the permanent ones. I would have had a door that doesn't shut.
When you've screwed up as many times as I have, you learn these tricks. Thanks for watching
So correct I'm using the temporary screws first yeah I know what you mean once you've screwed up so many times you'll learn little tricks very cool

I’ve got a stucco border they put around my door frame I’m guessing just for aesthetic. I’m wondering should I take a multi tool n trim it out where screen gonna go or should I just get some extra long bolts to anchor screen down to frame? Any advice
It's hard for me to say without seeing it, but a multi tool isn't a good choice for that much material. I would try longer lag screws first. If that doesn't work, then use an angle grinder with a diamond cutoff wheel. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Thanks for video, and great tip for the leveling the outside frame with the composite shim.
Where do you get the shims? Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. The composite shims are available at Home Depot but you have to search for them as they don't keep them with the wood shims. I've also found them at larger regional hardware stores. Thanks for watching
I was looking to replace a couple of these with new metal doors. Unsure how the screws will come out or if i wont be able to re-use the same hole positions. Any suggestions?
If you buy the same type of door, the holes almost always line up with the old ones. However, You can always drill new holes and then use the procedures. In addition, the "security" screws are overrated. In 15 years of doing doors and fixing break-ins, I've NEVER seen a case where a thief brought tools and unscrewed something or removed hinge pins. It's too noisy and time consuming. Thieves smash windows, and use crow-bars. If you just use regular heavy duty construction lag screws, you'll have just as much "security." Thanks for watching.
Hi … thank you for this video I just bought the exact same door and was wondering does it matter if the house is a wood home? The concern is would the screws split the studs of the door frame?
It's unlikely that you'll split the studs. As a precaution, pre-drill them with something slightly smaller than the screws. All the best and thanks for watching.
@@askillthatpays thank you so much. Thanks for posting
What if my door measures 35 inches? What size screen door do I purchase?
36". I have a short that explains measuring doors here. Generally, whatever your actual door measures, round up. Thanks for watching.

Any Digital key locks you like for this gate ?

I haven't seen one yet that can be installed in these without modifying the door. They need a larger flat surface. I used to do welding and I'd weld a plate around the hole to make a flush surface. Without doing that, they don't install well and the guts are exposed to weather. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for clearly explaining the steps and mentioning what could go wrong 👍
I'm happy to help. I've screwed up many doors in my career so I try help others. Thanks for watching
12:21 - you mention when that final screw is in, it will usually just rub up against the edge of the door.
If that screw is too close to the edge, does it prevent the door from closing ? Or does the lip of the door close over the edge of the screw ?
Great question. The design always seems a little odd to me yet the doors have enough play in them that they manage to clear the screws. However, sometimes I've had to make the screw hole oval shaped to clear the door and other times have actually taken the angle grinder to the lip of the door. Thanks for watching.
10:07…… Hummhumm
I realize you only have one subscriber and don't actually make any videos, but I still appreciate that you take the time to watch my videos and comment. Thanks for watching.
I have an old security door and so I can't unscrew those screws to remove the old security door ? If so, any tips on how to remove the old door ? And with the previous holes from the old screws, qould I need to replace the door jamb ?
There are two options. First is to grind all heads off with an angle grinder, remove the frame, then use vice grips to remove the screws. Second option is to cut off an old 5/8" spade bit and grind it a little to it's like a large screw driver. Then use a cutoff wheel and grind a slot into the screw deep enough to accept the 5/8" spade bit. Then use the spade bit in a drill like a screwdriver to remove the screw. Good luck and thanks for watching
@@askillthatpays Thanks :)
My front door has stucco surrounding front door. I did an inspection cut on the stucco. I found behind the stucco is more concrete. Do the one-way screws provided work going into concrete?
No. There is typically some wood behind there somewhere because the stucco has to be allied to something. I would drill through the stucco til you find out how deep the wood is, and then get an appropriate length screw. Even though the screws that come with the kit aren't reversible, I don't always use them. In 15 years of doors, I've NEVER seen anybody unscrew a door to break in. They almost always use a crow bar. However, IF security is an issue, lag screws can be ground down once installed. Thanks for watching.
@@askillthatpays there is wood behind the concrete. So it in this Stucco, Concrete, then wood frame. What do you suggest I do?
Can you switch the door knob to be on the right side instead of left side?
Yes, if you go to 1:35 of the video it shows that the door can easily be reversed. Hope this helps and thanks for watching. I appreciate it
How are these doors secure, when I can cut the screen with tin snips? What else can you use for a security door?
It's difficult to cut with tin snips but I get your point. These types of doors come in different thickness and styles based on price. There are few doors, other than bank vaults, that are truly "secure." Doors and locks only keep out honest people. If someone wants to get in, they will. Security comes in layers, and products like this make it more difficult and less likely that a break in will occur because they increase the time necessary to do so. Thanks for watching.
Great job I have the locks and they slip on the metal surface besides double stick
Gonna use mag locks with bracket and 30 RFID control
The locks 40 50 for control blue tag combo battery push to exit better than these keys
I used tuff foam to adjust the shim was helpful
The tool that came with the door broke, know how to screw the bolts without the tool?
Depot and Lowes sell them in the screw section along with other security screws. The one that comes with the door is very low quality and the replacements are much better. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Did I miss something? You were going to show how to remove a security screw. While installing my security door, one of the security screws hit something solid about 2 inches in and I can't screw it in any further and I can't remove it with the bit. (of course!) I'm not a carpenter, just an old lady, 66 yrs young.
Arggg. that's frustrating. YOu've 3 options. Shear it off and drill a new hole or unscrew it with vice grips slowly. Lastly, cut a groove in the screw with an angle grinder and cutoff wheel to make a slot as though it's a big slotted screw. Then either use a large flat screwdriver or cut the point off an old 5/8" spade bit and put it in your drill and use that as a screwdriver. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Thanks for getting back to me. I researched the comments in your video later on. I tried cutting a groove into the head of the screw with my Dremel and it didn't work for me because my hands shake, so the slot was kind of sloppy. I discovered that I could buy extra security screws just like the ones I had so I used a womans method of fixing the problem. I took my hammer and banged the 2 inches of the screw sticking out to a 90 degree angle and unscrewed it with a vise grip wrench. TaDa!! The Security Door looks great and I feel more secure in my home. Thank you for you instructive video. It was better than the others I had watched going into this project.
My door doesn’t want to lock after install lock wat can I do?
There are a number of reasons for that. It could be hitting the lock on your other door. It could be misaligned up and down. It might not be closing far enough. It's a matter of loosening the screws holding the locks side piece in place and moving it however necessary to get it to line up. good luck and thanks for watching
Can a metal security door be painted?
Yes. I've done it with spray cans which came out splotchy and a rented spray gun which came out great. Thanks for watching
Is this the channel that used to be called “Mitt’s dad”?
That's correct. Still a few of the old videos available. Now focused on doors
@@askillthatpays You do excellent work, and are such a natural teacher-thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously! 🙏
that's very kind of you to say. I appreciate that and thanks for watching. @@MoPoppins
