I own a home (about 83 yrs. old) with a stone foundation that is about
14" thick. In the rear of the home I have a walk our basement and
would like to install a new insulated steel door. Currently there is a
screen door with a pretty shotty wood frame. The best I can tell (if I
were to remove the screen door and frame) I would have about 34-35" of
clearance. Can anyone provide any tips on an install and if I should
be looking for a specific frame type? I'm trying to maintain at least
30" of clearance (for moving purposes) and although I would rather not
but would if necessary have a custom door made. Thanks.
