Andersen 300 Series Storm Door Installation (start to finish)

In this video I install an Andersen 300 Series Storm Door. This is pretty much a full video of the whole install in which I (mostly) follow the Andersen storm door installation instructions. I also show a few storm door installation tricks and tips that I've learned through the years. I hope you find my knowledge helpful! In the future I'll try to focus on being a little more steady with my camera work!

*Please Note* When installing this door I raised the door up to close the gap at the top (kind of out of habit)… the manufacturer does provide a “rain deflector” piece that is meant to close that gap (if any). So I would recommend checking to see if setting the jamb trim directly on the threshold works for your door - as lifting the door jamb off from the threshold creates a small gap between the jamb trim and the threshold.

Thank you for this instructional video! This helped a lot installing this door.

Great to hear! You’re welcome!

You’re welcome!

Alright, wish me luck 😂

[@sidingschool]

Good luck! lol Side note: I could’ve set the door jambs down on the threshold and used the top deflector piece to fill the gap at the top.

What are the height requirements for the door to fit?

[@sidingschool]

Hi, sorry I didn’t make the height and width requirements clear. The height requirement is 80”-80 7/8” as measured from the outer edge of the threshold to the bottom of the top exterior trim.
Here’s a video from Andersen that better shows how to size the door: ua-cam.com/video/ajS5ayjhBEo/v-deo.htmlsi=e8Dbp3b0uYnpKybh

Start to finish. With explanations and tips 🤗. I also added chapters so if you’re struggling with a certain aspect of the install you can skip to it. It’s also possible to watch videos on 2x speed. The quality of my videos will get better as time goes on! Good luck!
