Great video. I installed 3 of these in the past and it all looked familiar. Installing one now (11 years after this video in 2024) and it looks like the mounting design has changed dramatically on these....SO HAS THE PRICE! Just a note for anyone looking at this that the new Larson security type storm doors look like they mount slightly different. I'll likely take a video of that full install and post of course instead of just running my mouth on this guy's great video.
I have to install a storm door for a client tomorrow and I was terrified, until I watched your video. The last time I installed a storm door was about 30 years ago and it was a freaking nightmare. You've given me a level of confidence that I can actually get this done competently. Thank you.
What an amazing tutorial. I have had two contractors out to install my door, and they have failed tremendously. I knew all along that I could do it, but my shoulders are in bad shape. lifting the door is going to be a challenge, but with your video being so precise with each step, I know I will get it done! Thanks
One of the best videos. I like your candid comments. They're honest and real. You seem like just a regular guy, whose willing to tackle a job he's never done before. That's why I like your video. I can relate to you. I'm not a handyman by any means, but watching you do it has given me a little more confidence about doing it myself rather than spend $200 to have a pro do it. Thanks.
My Larson storm door has been growing impatient with me, standing by in the garage. Watching your excellent video has motivated me with added confidence; today is installation day!
Nicely done! Larson does have a video on their site but they don't show how to do the door handle install. Thanks for taking the time, the job doesn't look too difficult at all. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada!
Great video. Unless you are a builder/remodeler that installs these doors frequently I don’t think it can be installed in an hour. If this is the first home you have owned with PVC trim I’ll say now that you are gonna love it forever and ever amen. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for a really good tutorial video! I just brought home my Larson door and plan on installing it this weekend! Your video gave this 72 year old the confidence that I might actually get it done correctly! Thanks again! I'll check into your other videos! -bigeasy👍
Your videos are just awesome. Bought this door and it sat in the garage for 3 days before I gathered up the confidence to install it. Your video got me off my butt and onto that project. Turned out great. Thanks again.
Installing one of these doors today. It seems to be the strongest door available at the chain home improvement stores. The heavy glass was the selling point for me. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the video!
Wgat was good about your video is the fact that you go step by step and actually show basic steps, which alot of men dont they skip through things. Good sense of humor and because of you I am going to install my own door. Your front door is very nice, good creativity and color.
Yanks in Michigan are loving the videos. Especially love this one for the Larson door. It'll definitely help us with the one we're installing tomorrow. Appreciate the video help. Keep up the good work.
I watched at least 5 different Larson storm door videos and this guy explains and demonstrates better than any of those; even the Larson company videos! He needs to do video directions for all products like this!
I watched this video last year and now I'm watching it again because I'll be doing this in 2 weeks. I put my order in at Menards, so it will take 2 weeks to come in. Great video!
Great Video, I bought that same door a week ago and have been trying to psych myself into believing the EASY installation claim. It seems you proved it to be true. Great job! I may even try it myself! lol
You made it look easy! But seeing the install makes me feel more comfortable thinking about purchasing a Larson storm door for me home! Thank you for the instructions 😊
Thanks- gives me confidence that I can do this. Bought the Larson door this morning and will tackle after the heat of the day subsides. Been in the 90’s here in Michigan- go figure. Thanks again for the detailed video!
Glad to see that you have the same kinds of issues that I seem to be encountering on all of my jobs, for a while I thought I was Lone Survivor of repairs.
Great video. We have almost the same door, but it's a double door. The only thing I don't like, is the top drip edge. It was too short and water still gets in under it. We are going to install a Pemko rain drip edge, that comes out 2.5" and curves down better. Love your sense of humor and glad you didn't shatter it and cut your hand off!
Excellent instructional video. I would, however, like to point out two items of contention. You said your door only weighed 1200 pounds but mine was at least 1350!! Also my door was one that you could hang for either a left side hinge or a right side hinge, so the holes for the latch hardware needed to be drilled. Five holes...with template...no big deal. The instructions for the latch were very clear and installation went very well. People who can't read might have problems with it though!
Thanks, man, I gotta tackle mine this morning, I got a good idea of how this install goes thanks to you. Guys like you who take the time and trouble to help us out are invaluable.
Really good job on this video. Just the right combination of narration and good camera work. I should have had one of these doors on my back door. I am inspired to put one on after I fix the jamb problems.
Thanks for the video. We just bought a house 3 months ago and I've been slowly going around replacing some things. The front screen door is next. It's falling apart. I figured it was easy as I thought to replace the door. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. I'll be sure to check out the rest of your vids.
Thanks for a great lesson! I am planning on installing a Larsen door this week, and know your tutorial will be a great help. I feel much more comfortable about taking on the project. Also, love your humor.
Since you work for Lowe's, do you think my 32 x 80 1/4 door opening would work for this? My home was just built last year by Lennar, so I can't imagine why the opening wouldn't be standard....
Thanks Feddie I appreciated the help from your video last night as I installed a Larson Storm door. Keep up the good videos. I always like the Tennessee engineering you throw in every once in a while. I almost have the courage up to start a Pole Building.
Hey Feddie, the ultimate ending to this video woulda been having you open the finished door and have the porch light come busting through the glass! Guaranteed viral!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! The door is up and it looks great! Before I started it my husband said I think we should call somebody I don't think you'll be able to do this. I laughed because I just got through putting down a mud and porcelain tile floor you could put a level to! Your video was so helpful I never even looked at the instructions. I had problem with the retainers-go figure the simplest things! I will take pic's and post tomorrow! Thanks again!!!
I like your style! My 30 year old Sears door is falling apart. Saw the Lowes flyer with Larson storm doors on sale. Didn't know anything about them, but YOU sold me on them. Gonna check out your other videos. BTW I live in the Great White North and that door looks like it will survive our winter.
Your video was very helpful. It was detailed and showed step by step install. I was needing to replace the latch assembly and could not figure how to remove the handles, until I watched your video! Thanks
Thanks for the video. I've got a broken neck vertebrae so I've been working on this project off and on all day as I can. Luckily I have someone to drill the holes up high for me. I'm about 3/4 of the way there and it's gonna get dark soon so I figured while I'm taking a break I'd watch videos so I know what to do when I get back out there. Yours is by far the best. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the compliments. I appreciate it. Yep, I've never taken myself too seriously. Other than discovering fire and inventing the wheel there's not much special about me. Ha! Just kidding. Hey, I'm diggin the FPV stuff over on your channel. I bought a bunch of gear for this three or four years ago but got busy on this house and never used it. Kinda got out of RC but you are giving me the bug again! I'm betting the technology has gotten even better since then. Good luck on your project!
I'm getting ready to install my Larson Screen Door and came across your video. It was very informative and you are a down to earth guy. thanks for your videos and attention to detail. Keep posting, looking forward to watching more of them. Frank
Really great video and very easy to follow too. I'm kinda like you and haven't installed one before. I bought the Larson's Tradewinds with glass and screens at Lowe's. Maybe now I can finish getting it put in. Its been sitting face-up on my front porch for a few days now. Instead of holes close to the top on each side, it has dimples but I suppose they probably are in the right spots. Anyway thanks a lot for the help.
I'm pretty handy around the house thanks to my Dad. I encourage my other girlfriends too. My neighbor lady bought a larson door with the retractable screen/window. after watching your video, I'll .ow try this on my own :-)
You have great videos. I am going to be doing door casings on my house like yours because of your videos. My Larson door just came in yesterday and I will putting it in tomorrow. The video was a great help. It is good to know the actual time instead of the time they say.
Man, I am glad it stopped raining so the video could be wrapped up. All kidding aside, great video and a thumbs up. I think Lowes charges about $285 for the door and they wanted $97 for installation. If it takes three hours or less, it is worth my time to install myself.
I had to sub because you got the calmest tone of voice. Now you made all my anxiety go away, I am going to put on a screen door. My front door gets a lot of sunlight so I have to consider that in purchasing the right screen door. #GirlPower💪
Thank you for your video. It was informative taking some of the fear away from my own storm door hanging project. Your videographer did a nice job as well. Thanks
Thanks for the demonstration. I am planning to put in one of those tomorrow. Generally, there is usually something that will go wrong when I install anything, but hopefully this is going to go as well as yours did.
Thanks...I'm trying to decide on a storm door....actually 2 storm doors on a manufactured home....Want to do this myself. The video and instruction was really helpfule.
I am getting ready to install a Larson storm door for my sister-n-law. I will be using your video to go by its a great video. You are pretty cool and down to earth. Thumbs up. Be blessed
Thanks man. I am Ok with following printed direction but watching your install made this so much easier. My wife thinks I am the ultimate handyman now. That goes a long way!
Thanks for watching! I guess by now your door is up and you are admiring the beauty of your work! There's no greater feeling than doing something yourself so I hope you are glowing in your skills. Please let me know how it turned out. If you want to send me some pics and some thoughts and comments on the job then I'll post it over on my website and make you famous. :-)
Great job making this video I just got the same door. After watching your video I install the door in about an hour and a half it went together perfectly thanks
Outstanding! You're welcome. I'm glad you are gonna to the plunge and do it. It will be fine and will turn out great. Take some pics along the way and send em to me and let me know how it turns out. Good luck!
Thank you for explaining as you go. I am a female and going to try by myself. lol. With your video and talking as you went.....I have no doubt that I can do this. Thank you! You made the directions make sense, if you will. :-)
So I just installed my 32X80 Larson door and went to close it to check swing and it is short. The door is only 31.5"? So the box stating 32" means that it may vary from 31.5" to 32"??? Help me to understand if you can. My opening is 32x80 and the old storm is 32x80. Now what do I do? I took it back down and put my old one back in. I only get one day off weekly and now as proud as I was of myself....I have nothing to show. ugh Advice? Suggestions? I didn't know that I had to open the box before I bought it to make sure that the door was a true 32". They won't take it back because I already drilled holes. Shame. Help?
Thanks! Great video. It follows the installation instructions pretty close so clarifies some of the harder to visualize steps. At least for me. I appreciate the help, glad you still have your hand
A nice job done by nice easy-going guy. He makes a big job seem like not a big deal. I bought a Larson door and plan to do the same. Hopefully, my door will go up as well and as easy as his. Thanks for tips.
Excellent video! I'm about to install a storm soon and wasn't sure what I'd be up against. You sure gave me an insight - and without the "I know everything" attitude you find so often on RUclips DIY'er videos. Thanks!
Thanks for the great feedback. I'm glad the video helped out. I try to make it easy to understand without all the "I'm awesome" overtones. Ha! Good luck on your project and lemme know how it turns out.
Great video! I just bought a Larson storm door and have been a little anxious about tackling it, but I feel a little more confident about it after watching your video. I'd rather you do it for me though!
Thanks for the compliment and for watching the video! You will do fine and end up with a great looking door. I'm sure of it! I'm glad the video has given you the confidence to take it on. I'd be glad to help out if I were nearby but if you run into a hiccup let me know and I'll help out any way I can.
Great video! just got a new entry door installed and will be putting a new Larson up in a few days. Your video sure helped understand the process. Thanks
my door was not the security door but everything you did helped me. my cheap larson door i had to remove a top and lower screws for the hinge to fit, but the hinge screws shored it fine thanks
Thanks for the video. I'm putting up one like this today, not so much to protect my entry door as it is so my dog can see outside without climbing to the back of the couch to look out the window, lol.
Thanks. It turned out fine with the exception of the strike plate. I had to use washers as shims behind the strike plate to get the door latch to hold and even with that the deadbolt latch won't latch because it doesn't line up right and I'll have to grind out part of the strike plate with a dremel.
The glass is difficult to slide up because you have to stick your fingers in the slot to press the tabs in. So I slipped some zipties in behind the tab and it makes it so much easier to open. Hope this helps.
FPV is really fun you should go for it. I really like it along with flying my rv helis also :-). I put the door up last night and it turned out great. I made it light on my self and installed the glass after I hung the door ;-). Thank u again for posting your video. Be blessed
Patrick from Spokane, Wa... Well this is funny, Im glad to see someone else is just as insane as I. I purchased exactly or very close to the same door w/ speak easy, only difference mine doesn't have the elaborate hinges showing. Finally installed it in my new house, took me 6 months to get around to it. Then "the storm Door" issue... I bought a Larson Signature in Black to match the teak door as much as possible. Black lantern porch light as well. I assume Im into the Black theme as my first impression to my home. If nothing else Kim Kardashian and I have black in common as a favorite color. Knowing full well even as the storm door is getting installed that it is going to detract from my teak door and its initial impact... Nothing can be done about it though. I noticed at the end of your video your completed installation which looks good... The Larson Signature has pretty good features when you consider its price, fortunately there was a sale for 15 to 20% off during the July 4th period 2017. If I still lived in California, I would say "Storm Door" what? Would have saved myself some money and cold winters...
I think I have American Indian in me. When I need it to rain I don't have to do a rain dance, I just wash my car or start a project on the outside of my house. Works every time.
Sweet.. I am now going to install my storm door,,, You showed enough on the Video, that I probably would have been scratching my head without it.. Directions always seem not explain in as much detail, as you did... Now i can do this without Drawing blood from head Scratching!!! LOL Thank YOU.. ;)
Great video. I have the same door bought from Lowe's the installer was not good. Ended up having to buy another lock which I will be installing myself after your video. Extremely helpful
Of all the installation videos I've been watching for storm door installation, yours has been the easiest to follow by far!!! Thanks for posting it. BTW, love your accent!
Great video. I installed 3 of these in the past and it all looked familiar. Installing one now (11 years after this video in 2024) and it looks like the mounting design has changed dramatically on these....SO HAS THE PRICE! Just a note for anyone looking at this that the new Larson security type storm doors look like they mount slightly different. I'll likely take a video of that full install and post of course instead of just running my mouth on this guy's great video.

Tony Duplante Thanks for the compliments. Glad the video helped out. It's really not that complicated to do. You will do great on yours!

Great video. It’s still having an impact 11 years later.
Wgat was good about your video is the fact that you go step by step and actually show basic steps, which alot of men dont they skip through things. Good sense of humor and because of you I am going to install my own door. Your front door is very nice, good creativity and color.

Nice work and timely, my wife just asked me to replace the storm door on the back of our house. a Lowes trip is scheduled....Happy Wife, Happy Life.
+Charles Massey (Woodchucks1) Yes!!! Glad it helped out with the brownie points!
+Charles Massey (Woodchucks1) You are a smart man Charles Massey!
Great video. We have almost the same door, but it's a double door. The only thing I don't like, is the top drip edge. It was too short and water still gets in under it. We are going to install a Pemko rain drip edge, that comes out 2.5" and curves down better. Love your sense of humor and glad you didn't shatter it and cut your hand off!

You're right!...It does take more than 2hrs. and you will be done before sunset!!!
Great patience, info and video!!!
Thanks!!!
Great job. My door is sitting in the garage waiting on me to put it up. I may watch your video once more to boost my confidence before I start. :-)
Thanks for a great lesson! I am planning on installing a Larsen door this week, and know your tutorial will be a great help. I feel much more comfortable about taking on the project. Also, love your humor.
I'm a door installer for lowe's and I think you did and outstanding job thumbs up...

Thanks Feddie I appreciated the help from your video last night as I installed a Larson Storm door. Keep up the good videos. I always like the Tennessee engineering you throw in every once in a while. I almost have the courage up to start a Pole Building.
Hey Feddie, the ultimate ending to this video woulda been having you open the finished door and have the porch light come busting through the glass! Guaranteed viral!
+Dennis the Briqman Hahahaha. Yes!!!!
I finally found you again on You Tube, so that I can finish my door installation. Thank you so much for being soi helpful.

Michael Lackey I'm a little behind on responding to comments. Sorry about that. Hope your install turned out great!
Great video. I'm not afraid of the DYI but was bit fearful to give a try. Ready to go. Thanks for your step by step.

Thanks. I'll be installing my Larson storm door this week. I'm fired up and ready to go!!
Right on! Thanks for watching and good luck on your door!
Thanks man. I am Ok with following printed direction but watching your install made this so much easier. My wife thinks I am the ultimate handyman now. That goes a long way!
Charles Murphy Outstanding! Glad the video helped out!
"It's not gonna go that way. It never does." LOL. Great job. I'd work with you any day!

Thanks! Great video. It follows the installation instructions pretty close so clarifies some of the harder to visualize steps. At least for me. I appreciate the help, glad you still have your hand
A nice job done by nice easy-going guy. He makes a big job seem like not a big deal. I bought a Larson door and plan to do the same. Hopefully, my door will go up as well and as easy as his. Thanks for tips.
+Steven Gotch Thanks for watching and commenting, Steven. Good luck on your!
Excellent video! I'm about to install a storm soon and wasn't sure what I'd be up against. You sure gave me an insight - and without the "I know everything" attitude you find so often on RUclips DIY'er videos. Thanks!
Thanks for the great feedback. I'm glad the video helped out. I try to make it easy to understand without all the "I'm awesome" overtones. Ha! Good luck on your project and lemme know how it turns out.
Absolutely loved your video! Thank you so much as we are installing two of these in the next week and the experience tips are BIG!
I need to put one in as soon as we get some nice weather here in upstate NY.Thanks for the info.
Robert Muir Thanks for watching. Glad the vid helped out.
Great video! I just bought a Larson storm door and have been a little anxious about tackling it, but I feel a little more confident about it after watching your video. I'd rather you do it for me though!
Thanks for the compliment and for watching the video! You will do fine and end up with a great looking door. I'm sure of it! I'm glad the video has given you the confidence to take it on. I'd be glad to help out if I were nearby but if you run into a hiccup let me know and I'll help out any way I can.
Great video! just got a new entry door installed and will be putting a new Larson up in a few days. Your video sure helped understand the process. Thanks
Great video. Helpful. Will be installing three Larsen Secure doors this week, so thanks for the help. PS wife was thoroughly entertained.
my door was not the security door but everything you did helped me. my cheap larson door i had to remove a top and lower screws for the hinge to fit, but the hinge screws shored it fine thanks
Thanks, great video, very informative, comprehensive DIY instructions. I will refer to it again when my new storm door is delivered. Thanks again
Thanks for the video. I will be tackling my storm door project with confidence this weekend.
Larson ought to hire you to do their installation videos. Excellent work!
Ha! They probably have smarter and better looking folks than me to do their marketing. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for the video. I'm putting up one like this today, not so much to protect my entry door as it is so my dog can see outside without climbing to the back of the couch to look out the window, lol.
+Rebel9668 Hope it turned out great!
Thanks. It turned out fine with the exception of the strike plate. I had to use washers as shims behind the strike plate to get the door latch to hold and even with that the deadbolt latch won't latch because it doesn't line up right and I'll have to grind out part of the strike plate with a dremel.
The glass is difficult to slide up because you have to stick your fingers in the slot to press the tabs in. So I slipped some zipties in behind the tab and it makes it so much easier to open. Hope this helps.
Was going to have it installed, just saved $129.00 dollars.
A great detailed video. I had to replace the exact same door. I did not install the original however your video was extremely helpful. Thanks.
+broham2910 Cool. Glad it helped out!
FPV is really fun you should go for it. I really like it along with flying my rv helis also :-). I put the door up last night and it turned out great. I made it light on my self and installed the glass after I hung the door ;-). Thank u again for posting your video. Be blessed
Getting ready to install my first storm door this weekend. Thanks for the great video!
Patrick from Spokane, Wa... Well this is funny, Im glad to see someone else is just as insane as I. I purchased exactly or very close to the same door w/ speak easy, only difference mine doesn't have the elaborate hinges showing. Finally installed it in my new house, took me 6 months to get around to it. Then "the storm Door" issue...
I bought a Larson Signature in Black to match the teak door as much as possible. Black lantern porch light as well. I assume Im into the Black theme as my first impression to my home. If nothing else Kim Kardashian and I have black in common as a favorite color.
Knowing full well even as the storm door is getting installed that it is going to detract from my teak door and its initial impact... Nothing can be done about it though.
I noticed at the end of your video your completed installation which looks good...
The Larson Signature has pretty good features when you consider its price, fortunately there was a sale for 15 to 20% off during the July 4th period 2017.
If I still lived in California, I would say "Storm Door" what? Would have saved myself some money and cold winters...
I think I have American Indian in me. When I need it to rain I don't have to do a rain dance, I just wash my car or start a project on the outside of my house. Works every time.
Just installed one video was very helpful even nine years later
Getting ready to tackle my first storm door ! Appreciate you showing the way.
