Pella Storm Door Installation

Ye old "storm" door After an intensely frigid February here in central Ohio, I decided the old home sweet home needed a little extra help in keeping the cold out and how about some beautification at the same time. I had just had the windows replaced and the next item on the list was the doors. One of the things I did was to replace the old storm door on the front of the house. Its insulation powers were marginal at best. While it may have been the latest rage 20 or so years ago, its time to shine had come and gone. Its security features were equally, if not more, questionable.

Ye new Pella Storm Door Okay, I should have used the flash on this one. I'll replace it later with a better photo. The wife wanted to keep the old main entry door but that may have to go soon as well. The new full-view storm door does its best to make the entry door look like a king. This Pella door was $234.00 and another $100 for the installation. Some of its features include - (1) Brass handleset with a keyed deadbolt lock; (2) a full screen that you can slip in after removing the glass panel; (3) with a touch of a button, you can lock the door into any position; (4) to release simply open the door until you hear it click and it will automatically shut; (5) this door comes with two pneumatic hinges for easy opening and closing; (6) double insulation to keep out winter's chill; (7) and a lifetime protection plan warranty as well as a lifetime finish guarantee. Pella claims that you can install it in as little as 60 minutes but for a hundred bucks I let the professionals do it. Heck, they probably do a couple of these every week. I wish I had bought it in the fall - could've made that living room feel a lot warmer and brighter.
