Im looking to add a storm door to the front of the house. Ive got good
skills and was wondering how hard it actually is to install one.

Not too much on the net about this as I have searched.

Comments anyone? Good quality doors? (lowes, HD?).


Thanks in advance.

You need first to find out whether the doorway has
standard dimensions (i.e. will fit a storm door bought
off the rack.) Homeowners' manuals in your public
library will tell you how to fit a standard-sized door.
Non-standard sizes require prior experience.

The doorway is 30 by 80. Pretty standard Im guessing.

Front of the house and the door is only 30"??? Front doors are usually
36" to accomodate moving things in and out. Possibly you have another
entrance that oc 36" min?
