This manual describes a storm door, specifically focusing on its warranty, general care, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The storm door is designed to provide an additional layer of protection for a home's primary entry door, slowing down the elements and offering various functional and aesthetic benefits.
The storm door serves as a secondary barrier against weather elements, enhancing insulation and security for the main entry door. It features a door frame, mounting rails, and various components such as hardware, a window sash, a screen frame, retainer strips, closers, and locksets. A key feature in some models is the "Screen Away®" retractable screen, which allows for ventilation without needing to swap out a full screen insert. The door's design aims to protect the prime entry door, which remains the primary seal for the opening, by mitigating the impact of wind, rain, and other external factors. Different models offer varying levels of durability, indicated by "Heavy Duty Aluminum" and "Solid Core DuraTech® and Aluminum Clad" options, each with corresponding warranty periods. The door's components are engineered for mechanical operation and finish, contributing to both its functionality and appearance.
The storm door is designed for residential use, specifically for owner-occupied properties. Its primary function is to protect the main entry door, not to be 100% waterproof itself. The retractable screen feature in "Screen Away®" models allows users to easily switch between glass and screen for ventilation. When the screen is retracted, the glass insert provides full protection. When ventilation is desired, the glass can be lowered, and the screen deployed. The door includes closers that regulate its closing speed, which can be adjusted by the user. Locksets provide security, and the hardware is designed for ease of use. The door's design also considers air circulation between the storm door and the primary door, with options to raise the expander or leave the window open to allow air to escape, preventing heat buildup and condensation. The manual also addresses common issues like the door not closing properly, providing solutions such as adjusting closers, shimming hinges, or addressing air pressure differences.
Maintaining the storm door involves regular cleaning and occasional lubrication to ensure its longevity and proper function.
Troubleshooting guidance is provided for common issues such as door leaking, not closing properly, heat buildup, condensation, and problems with the retractable screen or hardware. Solutions range from simple adjustments like caulking or tightening screws to more involved steps like shimming or replacing components. The manual emphasizes that modifications to the door will void the warranty, and damage from improper installation, misuse, or acts of nature (like wind or flooding) are not covered. Labor costs for reinstallation are also not covered under warranty. For warranty replacements, the original consumer purchaser needs to provide proof of purchase and the door's registration number.
