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.
Check for potential interference using the
rough measurements. If you anticipate
that there will be interference, hand the
storm door on the opposite side of your
entry door. See page 2, Figure 3 for detailed
hardware depth requirements.
In this step you will determine the handle side of your storm door.
1. Left Handed (Figure 4): From the exterior, a left handed storm door will have the handle on the
left side of the storm door. See pages 4-6 for installation instructions.
2. Right Handed (Figure 5): From the exterior, a right handed storm door will have the handle on
the right side of the storm door. See pages 7-9 for installation instructions.
3. The interior side is where ventilating glass panel latches are located. (Figure 6).
