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).

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.
Determine if Hinge Rail Shim
is needed
1.
Use the table above to determine if you need to use the provided hinge rail shim (J).
2. If your opening width falls within the dimensions listed, you will need to install the shim. (If
installing a 78” tall storm door, rst cut o 2” from one end of the shim.) If your opening width
does not fall within these dimensions, proceed to step 3.
3. Remove any debris from the mounting surface where the hinge rail shim will be attached.
4. Apply the four strips of double stick tape from the pink bag to the shim, spacing them evenly
along the entire length. Attach the shim to the mounting surface, as shown.
