To remove a storm door frame, follow these steps:
1. Remove the door: Open the storm door and use a screwdriver to remove the screws or nails securing it to the frame. Lift the door off the hinges and set it aside.
2. Take out the screen: If the storm door has a separate screen, remove it by unscrewing or unlatching it from the frame.
3. Remove the frame: Starting from the top, use a pry bar or a flathead screwdriver to gently pry the frame away from the door jamb. Work your way down the sides and bottom, being careful not to damage the surrounding trim or siding.
4. Clean up: Once the frame is removed, clean any debris or residue left behind and repair any damage if necessary.
By following these steps, you can successfully remove a storm door frame.
If you want to enhance the appearance of your home, one option is to replace the old storm door. There are various styles of storm doors available to cater to individual preferences. However, before you can install a new storm door, you need to remove the old one. The frame of most storm doors consists of three separate pieces. Each piece must be removed individually from the door frame. This makes disposal easier and helps prevent damage to the door opening.
Step 1
Partially open the door and detach the end of the closer from the door bracket. Depending on the type of door, the closer can either be unhooked or there may be a pin that needs to be pulled out to release it from the bracket.
Step 2
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws that secure the jamb bracket of the door closer. Fully open the storm door to access the hinge screws on the door frame. While you remove the hinge screws with the screwdriver, ask a friend to hold the door. Take the door out of the frame.
Step 3
Using a utility knife, score the outer edge of the frame where it meets the door jamb. This will cut through any paint or caulk that may have formed a seal between the jamb and door frame.
Step 4
Locate the screws that secure the side frames to the door jamb on each side. These screws are usually found on the front of the storm door frame. Remove the screws using the Phillips screwdriver. Pull out the storm door side frames from the door jamb. If necessary, use a mallet to tap the back of the frame and separate it from the door jamb.
Step 5
Remove the screws that secure the top of the storm door frame to the top of the door opening. Pull out the frame piece from the door opening.
