Storm Doors and Entry Door Replacement
Justin Matthews • September 3, 2026
Squaring an older opening for a new door
Location: Greenville, SC
The problem. A front door that stuck in summer, showed daylight along the strike side, and a storm door that had never closed square.
What we did.
- Checked the opening for square before ordering anything — it was not, which changed the approach
- Shimmed and reset the jamb rather than forcing a new slab into a racked frame
- Installed the new entry door with a full weatherstrip and sweep
- Hung the storm door to the corrected opening
- Adjusted the closer and verified the latch engaged cleanly through a full swing
The result. No daylight, no sticking, and a noticeable difference in the entry's draft over the following winter.
