Storm door installation in Metro Detroit: styles, when it is worth it, and what to expect
A storm door adds a second seal against Michigan winters and lets you open up for fresh air in spring. Here is how to choose one and how we install it.
Full-view
One large glass panel shows off the entry door behind it. Many swap the glass for a screen panel in summer; some models store the screen in the door and let you slide the glass down.
Ventilating and self-storing
The glass and screen both live in the door. Slide the glass down and the screen is right there, no seasonal panel swap. The most practical choice for daily use.
Security storm doors
Heavier frames, laminated or tempered glass, and stronger locks. Home Guard (formerly Trapp) has long been known across Metro Detroit for this style.
Retractable screen
The screen rolls away out of sight when you do not need it, so the view of your entry door stays clean year round.
Fit matters more than style
Storm doors are made to the opening. We measure the width, height, and the depth of the entry trim so the door sits flush and the closer works without slamming.
Color and hardware
Match the storm door to your entry door, the trim, or the house. We show you handle finishes and closer options in the showroom.
Is a storm door worth it?
Yes on most Metro Detroit homes with a solid entry door that faces weather. It protects the finish, cuts drafts, and gives you a screen door in summer. The one exception is a newer entry door with a vented sidelight or a glass unit designed for direct exposure; in that case the storm door can trap heat against the finish, and we will tell you if that applies. If you are deciding between a storm door and a vented sidelite, see our note on vented sidelights.
How storm door installation works
We measure your opening, you pick the style, color, and hardware in the showroom or from photos, and we install it: frame, door, closer, sweep, and handle, adjusted so it closes softly and latches every time. Ask us about removing your old storm door. Need a closer, handle, or screen fixed on a door you already have? Ask about storm door repair.

Common questions
Do you still carry Trapp storm doors?
Trapp was acquired by Home Guard Industries. We carry the Home Guard line that continues the same Metro Detroit security and storm door styles.
Which storm door is best for Michigan?
For most homes, a ventilating or self-storing door: the glass and screen are built in, so you get a tight winter seal and a screen door in summer without swapping panels.
Will a storm door damage my entry door?
Not on a standard entry door. On a newer door with a vented sidelight or full glass rated for direct sun, a storm door can trap heat against the finish. We check that before we quote.
Can you install a storm door on my existing frame?
Yes. Storm doors mount to the exterior trim of your current entry. We measure the opening and order the door to fit.
Do you install security storm doors?
Yes. Heavier frames, laminated or tempered glass, and stronger locks from Home Guard and Fox Weldoor.
Do you repair storm doors?
Closers, handles, screens, and glass panels are repairable on most storm doors. Call with the brand and a photo and we will tell you whether to repair or replace.
