Fix doorway if it’s not plumb?

Attach shims along the top or bottom of the mounting surfaces until surfaces are plumb. If shimming exceeds ¼” in height, longer mounting screws may be needed to replace the pre-loaded mounting screws near the shims. Replacement Mounting Screw Recommendations:

  • Wood and PVC Openings – #6 x 2” Wood Screws
  • Cladded Openings – #6 x 2” Self-Drilling Screws Trim shims to hide behind the storm door, then continue with door installation. If gaps are present along the mounting surface after installation, apply the caulk.

Ensure the top of the door is sealed?

If there is a gap located above the drip cap, caulk along the top of the black seal.
