Why doesn't my storm door close all the way?
There are 2 possible
reasons for this:
1. Your storm
door closers need to be readjusted; this occurs from time
to time due to weather changes, humidity, etc. Locate the
screw at the end of the closer, open door and let it close
to note the current closing speed. Using a philips head screwdriver
adjust closer to desired speed (left for faster and right
for slower).
2. Storm doors
today are more efficient then they were years ago. On some
models, a pocket of air is created between the storm door
and the entry door. When the storm door is closing and the
entry door is closed this creates a cushion of air that does
not allow the storm door to close all the way. With the entry
door open the storm door will close correctly, or when the
screen is in the storm door instead of the glass, the storm
door will close correctly. There is no action to be taken
when this occurs other than altering the efficiency of the
storm door (removing bottom weatherstripping and top felt).

Why does my storm door close too fast or too slow?
Your storm door
closer needs to be readjusted; this occurs from time to time
due to weather changes, humidity, etc. Locate the screw at
the end of the closer, open door and let it close to note
the current closing speed. Using a philips head screwdriver
adjust closer to desired speed (left for faster and right
for slower). This is normal customer maintenance.

Why did the closer pull out of my storm door?
Probable causes:
The wind or another outside force has caught your storm door
and has forced it open. This could have been due to the storm
door not being latched or secured which is the customer's
responsibility and is incidental or consequential damage,
which is NOT covered by the limited warranty, Home Depot,
and/or Mac Window Systems. You should turn this in to your
homeowner's insurance.

Why is the push button closer on my storm door stuck open?
Probable cause:
You are trying to push down or pull up on the bottom to release
the closer. Push open the door a few inches wider than its
set position, this will release the closer's push button.
Let go of door and let it close freely.

Do I need a wind chain for my storm door?
According to
Andersen/Emco All Season Doors, the answer is NO. Their testing
indicates that if the wind is strong enough to pull the closers
out of the storm door or door jambs, the wind chain will almost
certainly also fail, causing more damage to the storm and
door jamb than if it were not present. Care should be taken
when operating the door in windy conditions.

Where do I find my serial number on my Andersen storm door?
Locate the serial
number on the hinge side of the door. Every storm door has
a silver tag on the hinge edge of the storm door, which contains
the door's unique serial number.
