How to Replace a Storm Door | Andersen 400 Series

In this video, I replace an old worn out storm door with a new one. This is an Andersen 400 Series door but the install should be similar for other screen door installs.

Now I see why the video is 40 minutes. That is much more complicated than I thought it would be. But so worth it.

This is exactly what I needed today. Watching you do hard work makes me feel better about all the work I'm not doing today! 😂

[jerseythedog]

Thank you for this. I made so many mistakes. And then I ended up with spare parts. And I had to see your video to make sure it worked. And it definitely did.

OMG. I have done so many storm door installation on my houses over the years. retired now in Florida and do not need a storm door. LOL Nice job. Looks like you have quite a bit of work to do. It will be interesting to follow you on your journey. I will be reliving my days fixing up a 1978 home when we lived up north

So grateful for this video. You are giving confidence on installing mine. Thank you

[susanquandt]

Thank you for the outtakes. That exasperated sigh is how I sound when I am trying to do projects around the house. Sometimes there is swearing involved as well.

[tearlesssole]

This video saved my ass when my grandparents asked if I could hang their door, thanks for the clear and thoughtful video

[totalbliss]

Awesome! We needed this on YouTube for a while now. A thoroughly explained installation of a storm door from start to finish.

[RobertNader-pb]

OMG…..You were spot on! Tell me you work for Anderson Co. Tell me! Your pace, your explanation of, rational, etc was perfect! I can’t express enough this is probably one of the best explanation videos I’ve heard.
Honest to be, I don’t even read the directions. I played the video to its entirety. Then I played the video in chunks and mirrored the video. I now know why it’s 40 mins long.
Funny….on top of the box it says easy installation. That means 1 or 2 things. It means you’re either screwed or royally screwed. I say screw that…..Follow his video, go slow, and knock her out. Oh, by the way I had a 20 yr old Anderson Storm door that I took down that I put up myself. Wow what a difference from today’s Anderson 400 series. From a Honda to a nice Lincoln! Good job Anderson. I love it and……it was installed perfectly! Good job on the video! Thanks!

I installed the exact same door on my home years back. You didn’t mess up when drilling the holes, the template is off. Ran into the exact same problem when drilling. Called customer service. They knowingly ship that model with universal instructions to cover a number of similar storm door models, yet the template for this particular one doesn’t line up exactly where it should. Long story short, their customer service sucks and unless you’re handy, installing this model can be a nightmare for inexperienced homeowners.

I put a Larson Platinum full glass w/screen in my place a couple months ago, we really like it a lot. It has a double locking latch and it is a quality storm screen door.

[fintan]

I have installed that very same door a couple times. Thanks for the tutorial, Matt!

[asiren]

Thanks for posting this video. I found it very helpful. Anderson should put a QR code of this video on the box and/or in the instructions. In fact, you should be paid by them for providing such good advice. This could help reduce the number of negative reviews...

[davidcantrell]

Very well done diy video east to follow and excellent instructions keep up the professional work!!

[davidfeldman]

Use spade bit for handles. Make sure it’s the type with spurs on the paddle part of bit. The skin on these doors is thin aluminum and the spurs cut right through. Larson doors supply a spade bit with their doors for this purpose.

Lovin the idiot proof instructions, Lovin the boink, and a big shout out to the camera person. She has caught some excellent action shots.😂

[atom-ark]

Yes, you did indeed have to say "boink". Ha! Great instructive video Matt! Loved it.

[iamwhoiamd]

That seemed like a lot of work to put in a door. But awesome to see you do it. Lol. Great video my friend.

[trishblakely]

Did you buy this house knowing you’d have fixit content for the next ten years? 😂 I’m guessing yes.

[dianevaness]

Ok, I am thinking I could assist but leave the installation to the professionals. We are redoing a home and it’s been frustrating and fun at the same time . But I would not change the experience for anything. The results like your work are all worth it!
