Exterior wood doors have given mobile-home owners and manufacturers numerous problems. Therefore, many builders have switched to metal doors. Keep the lock maintained and the hinges lubricated.

Repair torn screens on your storm doors as you would window screens. To reduce the likelihood of further damage, replace broken storm-door glass with acrylic panels. Bent storm doors call for new ones. Aluminum stretches when it’s damaged, and any attempt at major repair usually fails—especially where close fit is important.
Adjust the speed with which your storm doors open and close by adjusting the screw on the end of the door-closer pressure cylinder. if this does not remedy slamming problems, a new closer costs much less than a whole new door.
