1.
Most homeowners prefer to have the storm door
handle on the same side as the entry door handle.
In shallow door openings, this can cause the two
handles to interfere
(see Figure 4)
.
2.
Check for potential interference by measuring up
from the Door Sill 40 1/2". Measure in from
mounting
surface
on
brickmould
3 1/8". This is roughly the
location and depth of the storm door handle.
3.
If you anticipate interference, purchase a storm door
hinged on the opposite side of your entry door.
In this step, you will confirm that your storm door hinges on the correct side.
1.
To determine the exterior and interior of the door panel: at the bottom of the door,
the interior side has a sweep with screws
(Figure 5)
. The exterior is the side without
a sweep and screws.
2.
Left Handed
(Figure 6)
: From the exterior, a left handed storm door will have the handle
holes on the left side of the storm door.
See pages 4-8
for installation instructions.
3.
Right Handed
(Figure 7)
: From the exterior, a right handed storm door will have the handle
holes on the right side of the storm door.
See pages 9-13
