Install Andersen Storm Door

  • Andersen says their 3000 series storm door can be installed in 45 minutes. I'll show you how to install this storm door and lockset See if I get it done in 45 minutes! You can do this yourself and save a lot of money versus paying someone else to install your door. The Andersen 3000 storm door is heavy duty, built well and installs easily.
    Although not a requirement , most often storms doors are installed with the lockset on the same side of the opening as the entry door. You'll notice in this video , I install the storm door with the lockset on the opposite side as the entry door. There is a reason for this. The entry door installed by the builder is the wrong hand, it should have been a left hand door based on the way the front porch is built. It will be changed to a left hand door in the future. If I had installed a storm door with the handle on the same side as the existing entry door, we would exit the doorway into a wall unless the door was fully opened when walking out. Not convenient at all, so changing the entry door to the proper hand door will be the best solution.

    Great video. I pretty much just followed it for the entire install and it went great! Question for you... Did you have a plastic layer over the glass? Mine seems a bit dull or hazy, but for the life of me, I can't see any noticable plastic where I can peel. Mine has no plastic on the frame itself, but like I said, the glass just seems cloudy. If there is plastic on it, will it be impossible to peel off now that the window retainers are installed?

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  4 года назад +3

      Hi Mike, thank you for watching! Mine did not have any plastic film on the glass. I don't think the retainers touch the glass, so if there is a film on yours, I'd think you could peel it without removing the glass form the door.

    My boyfriend and his father installed the same door in black today 5/17/2020.. It took them about 1 1/2 hours due to the side top of the frame came a little bent and they had to straighten to align evenly with the other holes. I wanted to take it back to Home Depot to get another one. But you know men they figured out how to do it. 🤣😊 Your step by step instructions was on point. Your steps was much simplified than Home Depot in. I want to thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to make the step-by- step instructions. 👌🏽👍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I love my new door.😊

    I just installed the same door. I had issues with the door frame being too wide because it’s in a 160 year old farmhouse. I used trim strips to fill the space. One side was slightly shorter than the other side so I had to cut about 1/8” off one side of the storm door. I also had trouble lining up the dead bolt cylinder but sorted it out. Great product! Thanks for video.

      @@dwcoffey no problem.
      One question, on your door did you have any issues with the door latching? Despite doing everything correctly when installing mine, my door doesn’t like to shut if the main house door is closed behind it, almost like the air pressure trapped between the closing storm door is enough to not allow the door to latch, and so I have to push it closed.
      Another thing that’s weird, is that on my storm door, when it’s latched closed, it’s pretty solidly closed, but if you do much as breathe on the door handle (like moving it 1/16”) it’ll unlatch. Not sure if that’s just me, or if you experienced that as well.

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  2 года назад

      I have not had either of those problems. I'd try setting the closer cylinders to be a bit tighter, maybe they can overcome the trapped air between doors. The only thing for the latch I can think of is to check the alignment of the striker plate and the plunger.

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Год назад +1

      Thanks for watching, Andre! I agree, normally the hinges will be on the same side. I installed this one opposite because the entry door installed by the builder is the wrong hand, it should have been a left hand door based on the way the front porch is built. It will be changed to a left hand door in the future. If I had installed a storm door with the handle on the same side as the existing entry door, we would exit the doorway into a wall unless the door was fully opened when walking out. Not convenient at all, so changing the entry door to the proper hand door will be the best solution.
