In addition to providing protection, storm doors permit you to let fresh air into your home without losing any security or protection. Sunshine Contracting offers the Anderson 3000 and 4000 series storm doors. Anderson storm doors have set themselves apart from the competition by providing a number of features that are easy to use and necessary for proper function. Anderson offers the “Quick Change Glass/Insect Screen System.” In just seconds, anyone can switch between a full glass and full screen door. Even better, the screens that are used feature TruScene technology. These screens offer fifty percent more clarity than conventional insect screens. Another simple and functional feature of an Anderson storm door is the simple push button door stay. A single button on the retractable door closer can be pressed which will allow the door to stay open without hassle.

Meet Lee and Seu and learn about how your doors are replaced. Andersen 3000 Series Storm Door The 3000 Series of Andersen storm doors are available in nine distinct models. Most of these models feature the forty-five minute Andersen Easy Install, which can be completed with the most basic tools. Most of the 3000 Series doors are full view doors, meaning that the view is not impeded by any dividers or half screens. Four of the models, however, feature self-storing capability. These options feature retractable insect screens that can slide into the door frame and out of view. These doors also offer the option of TruScene retractable screens, which provide greater clarity than a common insect screen. The 3000 Series of Andersen storm doors also offer a choice of three glass types: clear, etched, and decorative. All options provide energy efficiency and style. Andersen 4000 Series Storm Door The 4000 Series of Andersen storm doors are available in three models, all of which are full view.
Full view means that the glass or screen is a single piece and ensures that the interior view is not impeded by any dividers. All of these doors also feature push-button door stay. The 4000 Series Fullview with laminated safety glass provides increased security. The glass is impact resistant and all of these storm doors feature a 3-point locking system with keyed deadbolt. A more energy efficient option is the 4000 Series Fullview with thermal insulating glass. This dual pane glass door helps keep in the heat or the cold, depending on the season. These doors also feature Andersen’s quick change glass/insect screen system. The 4000 Series Fullview with clear glass also offers the quick change glass/screen system. Andersen Storm Door Hardware Options Sunshine Contracting also offers storm doors made by ProVia.Retractable screen doors work the same way as spring-tension window shades. A spring inside of a roll is turned to create tension that allows you to open and close the screen door with ease.
These doors are often custom made to fit your doorway. When the mesh or screen of your retractable screen door becomes severely frayed or ripped, you will need to replace it with a new one. Inspect your retractable screen door. If it closes by pulling the handle all the way to the sill, you will need to remove the tracks from the screen housing to replace the screen. Remove the screws on the retractable screen door housing with a screwdriver and take the retractable screen door and its housing off the wall. Set the screws on masking tape to hold them together and avoid losing them. Remove the screws from the top and bottom track housing, if necessary. Pull the tracks off of the housing. Set the retractable screen door onto a flat, soft surface, such as a carpeted floor. Remove the screws on the right end cap of the retractable screen housing, which may be marked R. Pull off the right end cap. Remove the screws from the left pull handle end cap -- opposite the right or R end cap position on the retractable screen housing -- with a screwdriver.
Remove the left pull handle end cap. Gently slide the pull handle off the old retractable screen end spline. Remove the old screen roll from the housing. Remove the plastic gear or ball bearing from the end of the screen roll and take out the ball bearing by grasping it with needle-nose pliers and pulling it off the pin on the end of the screen door roll. If your screen roll does not have plastic gear or a ball bearing on the round pin end, you can skip this step. Insert the plastic gear or ball bearing from the old retractable screen door onto the round pin end of the new retractable screen door roll, if necessary. Look for the square-shaped tension pin on the end of the new screen door roll. Set the left end of the screen door housing against a wall to prevent it from shifting while you install the new retractable screen door roll. Insert the square tension pin into the slot on the interior of the left end cap while tilting up the opposite end of the retractable screen door roll. Turn the retractable screen door roll nine times in a clockwise direction to wind up the spring located in the interior of the retractable screen door and create tension in the roll.
Insert the R or right end cap onto the screen housing and the round pin on the end of the retractable screen door roll. Attach the right end cap with one screw to the housing to loosely hold it in place. Peel off the tape, holding the end of the screen door onto the retractable screen door roll. Unwind 18 inches of the screen door off the roll. Wrap the screen door end around the housing twice and set the housing flat on your work surface to hold the screen in place around the housing. Attach the second screw of the R or right end cap with a screwdriver to firmly secure it to the housing. Slide the pull handle onto the spline located on the free end of the retractable screen door. Insert the left pull handle end cap onto the pull handle and attach it with screws. Unwind the wrapped screen housing and check that it is between the flange on the edge of the right end cap and the side edge of the housing. If it is not, gently move the screen door edge over to slide it into position. Slide the bead of the screen track, if you removed it, through the notch on the back of the pull handle and screen housing.
