I’m the Storm Door Guy and for the last 12 years I have been installing storm, security, and screen doors day in and day out. It’s what I do, what I know, and what I love. Some people think it’s weird, but thousands of customers have told me I am really good at it! With over 14,000 installations under my belt, I have either seen, caused, or fixed almost everything that can go wrong with them. I have put this website together in hopes of giving you all the information you need about them. From choosing the right one for your particular application, to properly measuring, installing, and sometimes fixing them. I’ve got owners manuals, installation instructions, how-to videos, and more. So where do you begin when looking for a door. Well, first ask yourself, “What do I want it to do?” Do you want security? Next, consider the price, material, size, hinging, and style. Storm door prices range between $100-$300 for standard sizes, and $300-$500 for custom door sizes.
Door installation costs range anywhere from $98 for a basic, single door install to over $300 for a french door installation. Screen doors are made from either metal, wood, vinyl/plastic, or some combination thereof. The cheaper ones use vinyl/plastic and may or may not have a wood core for added rigidity and insulation. The more expensive doors are made from extruded aluminum (“extruded” just means “shaped and hollow“). Standard widths are 30 inches, 32 inches, and 36 inches. Standard heights range from 80-81 inches and 96 inches (for 8′ feet tall custom doors). Look for other problem areas like is a porch light in the way? If so, simply go to your local hardware store or visit Kichler Lighting online and replace it. One of the most important questions to think about is, “Which way will it open?” If you are ordering from a retailer make sure that the salesperson is crystal clear on this. After all, in the world of doors, handing is everything. Now we get to some industry jargon.
