What’s included
- Measure and select the correct storm door size for the opening
- Install full-view, half-view and ventilating glass storm doors
- Mount hinge Z-bar, latch Z-bar and top and bottom expanders
- Fit and adjust the pneumatic or hydraulic door closer
- Install the latch and deadbolt hardware
- Seal the frame perimeter against the brick mold
How it works
Measure and prep
We measure the door opening height and width, determine the hinge side and check that the brick mold or casing is sound.
Install the frame and door
We screw the hinge and latch Z-bars to the frame, hang the door and fit the expanders for a snug seal top and bottom.
Adjust the closer
We set the closing speed so the door latches firmly without slamming and check the latch alignment from both sides.
Problems we fix
- Doors purchased without checking hinge side — left-hand and right-hand openings are not interchangeable
- Z-bar not plumb, causing the door to pull away from the frame at one corner
- Bottom expander trim too short, leaving a gap that defeats the purpose of the storm door
- Hydraulic closer set too fast that slams the door hard enough to stress the frame
Storm Door Installation in Columbia — FAQ
What is the standard storm door size?
32" and 36" wide are the most common. Height is almost always 80". We measure your exact opening before the job to confirm the right size.
How do I determine left or right hand on a storm door?
Face the door from outside. If the hinges are on the left, it's a left-hand door. We confirm this at the estimate so you buy the correct unit.
Does a storm door really help with energy efficiency?
Yes, particularly on older entry doors. The air space between the two doors acts as insulation, and a tight storm door dramatically reduces air infiltration.
Storm Door Installation across Columbia
Columbia's long, hot, humid summers are hard on homes — HVAC strain, swollen doors, deck and fence wear, and moisture around windows and caulk are all common. Older in-town neighborhoods bring hardwood floors, plaster and original millwork, while the Northeast and the Lake Murray side add newer builds with their own needs. Our pros are comfortable with both.
