Anderson manufacturers their storm doors to be user-friendly and makes changing the windows and screens a simple process.

  1. Place your fingers on the top ledge of the upper retaining strip. Press down and out with your fingers to unsnap the retaining strip from the door frame. Continue down the length of the retaining strip, pressing down and out until it is off the door.

  2. Repeat for the bottom and the hinge side retaining strip. Flips the door handle so that it points up. This moves the handle out of your way to remove the final retaining strip.

  3. Pull the glass window or screen out of the storm door and install either one back into the door.

  4. Line up the groove on the retaining strip with the groove in the door frame, starting with the handle side of the door. Press the retaining strip into the groove along the entire length of the strip. Repeat for the hinge side next. Install the bottom and upper strips last.
