  • I'm a female DIY homeowner and rely on KZhead a lot. I don't have Dad around to help me take things on anymore. This is the one and only video on KZhead with a proper step-by-step for installing these storm doors. After weeding through a bunch of garbage, I was worried I wasn't going to find one. Your editing is perfect and makes it easy to follow. This video has everything you want and need in an instructional video. No nonsense. Thank you for doing this one, Fixer. You have a new fan here.

  • Excellent & comprehensive 👍About the only thing I would have added, _taping the template front & back_ for drilling the holes for the handle and lock...no big deal as should be self explanatory...I would recommend your video to anyone looking to install their own storm door 👍If your purchasing your door from like, Home Depot / Lowe's, I recommend NOT using their so-called expert installation...you can do this, it's just a little "door science" and basic common tools & this video 😛

  • Thank you so gosh darn much for this video. I put up one of these doors about five years ago as the wind took my previous one. I remember it being one of the most stressful and difficult things I ever had to do as a home owner. When my most recent one was broken, I figured I would just sell my house. Unfortunately i need my house so i started researching doors. I settled on this one thinking that i could just pop the hinge on and keep all the other stuff from the last door, right where it is. I was wrong lol. This door sat in my living room for two weeks. Contractors wanted $250 at least to come and put it up. You saved me $250 that i can now spend on stupid stuff and that just means the world to me. Seriously though, you made the entire process easy to follow, way better than the instructions, and I managed to get it up and looking better than my last one. Thank you so very gosh darn much.

  • Usually I dont give the time of day on a video that isn't exactly like what I have, but you did such a great job showing how and what you was doing I watched almost the whole video..... I have the cheaper 100 series, it starts out similar but I can see that you have a much better door when you get to the latch and how the screen works. So after watching several videos on storm door installs and for anyone that has this 400 series I highly recommend your video, it's by far the best how-to video on YT👍

My storm door broke and my cat was escaping and so I thought I would install a new one but your video showed how damned painstakingly complicated it was, I realized I didn't have the time nor the patience for it, and so I went to Home Dope-oh and simply replaced the hydraulic thingy and the latch and viola! Good as new and closes tight as a drum!
