The addition of a storm door always means more comfort in cold weather through more evenly heated rooms and a reduction drafts. A combination door has another advantage in that the storm sash can be replaced with screens in warm weather. Combination storm doors are available in many in many different sizes and styles. Measure the height and width of the door frame, and buy a door that is and inch or two larger to assure a snug fit after the door has been cut to size.
1. On a new door, the stiles or vertical side pieces often project beyond the top and bottom of the door. Square off projecting ends and saw off excess stiles.
2. Measure width of frame at top, center, and bottom. Mark off measurement on door and plane off excess equally on each side. Allow1/16" clearance on each side.
3. Measure height of door along frame by using a scrap piece of lumber as a guide. Measure each side separately just in case there is any variation in height.
4.Transfer measure mark to each side of outside face of door and connect. Measure bevel of threshold with bevel square; mark angle on bottom edge.
5. Allowing for a 3/16" clearance in height of door, set door on its side and cut along base line to the angle of bevel. Cut from sides towards center.
