How do I measure for a replacement storm door?
To be precise, take three different measurements for each dimension – top, middle, and bottom for width and left, center, and right for height. Make sure you’re measuring from where the storm door will sit, not where your front door already is. For height, measure from the bottom of the threshold to the top.
Can you replace just a storm door?
Nearly every storm door sold is reversible. That is, you can install it with the hinge on either side. You typically mount storm doors to the exterior door trim using “Z-bars.” The hinge-side Z-bar may already be screwed to the door (ours was), or you may have to mount it once you determine the door swing direction.
