Customer Reviews for Andersen 3000-Series 36 in. x 80 in. Terratone Left-Hand Full View Interchangeable Aluminum Storm Door with Brass Hardware

The door was very easy to install and looks classy. Doesnt look cheap.

Just had my new all glass storm door installed and there appears to be a haze all over the glass that will not come off. I’ve tried Windex and even alcohol but it will not come off. My previous all glass door did not have this problem. Anderson considers it weather related and therefore not their problem. It is not moist, it is not condensation. It is a haze. It came this way. Instead of a nice clear glass door I have spent my money on second rate quality and cannot recommend Anderson.

I'm very pleased with the finished product and hardware. The door seals very well and solved a leakage problem, installation is clearly explained and took about an hour. My main and only complaint is the inside trim pieces that hold the glass should be mitered at the corners instead of butting up square and over an inch too short. This made for a very unprofessional appearance at the corners on the interior view. I can't believe Anderson cheaped out for the butted trim fitment on what is an otherwise excellent product. I might just buy replacement trim for a larger door and do it myself. The handle set was top notch and very well made.

The weather strip at the bottom of the door is 3 inches short creating a gap for cold air to stream in.

This is an absolute waste of money. It is cheaply made and horribly put together. Once it gets cold, the door doesn't close properly. To quote the contractor who installed it "Andersen has really gone down in quality." The customer service is also entirely useless. Do not buy this door.

Reasonably easy to install as a one person job. Attractive and solid, a good value, especially at such a reasonable cost.

I’m so happy with the results the storm door blocks the draft that my front door had plus gives extra security with the lock. Plus the color of the door went well with my front facade being cranberry colored.

Door arrived ahead of schedule. It took two men to install, but installed easily. The door was supposed to have Oil-Rubbed Bronze Hardware, but came with black. It is now installed and I am not sure how to remedy this.

I love the door, BUT the side strips that hold the screen/window well are another story, I installed this door in May 2020 has the screen in and it was so nice, now that the cold winter days are here I had to change out to the window, in the process one of the side plastic strips cracked and now the window is. Ot secure on the one side, and rattles when you open an close the door not to mention allows a draft in, still trying to figure out how to get additional pieces to replace the cracked strip ... sigh

Easiest door I ever installed. As long as your measurements match it's a breeze and only takes one person. It is the most beautiful storm door I have ever owned. I paid the extra cost to special order to get the Sandtone color to match my other Andersen doors & windows. Glad I did. The stock white would have been a mistake.

The Anderson door was put in last April 2020 and the self closing mechanism is noisy. Today the top closure bracket just snapped in half and while the bottom bracket and closure arm work the door can no longer be propped open until I fix this.

I’m happy with the product but my children are very happy that I am protected to the fullest. I’ll be more happier when my doorbell camera gets here

First time installing a storm door myself. Not all models have a working deadbolt. Wish this one did. Other than that, it's a nice door and have one more to install.

The door was moderately easy to install although it did take me longer than the advertised 45 minutes. I was appreciating the overall quality of the door while installing the final rain trim when, regrettably, I noticed a large bend defect in the frame that does not allow me to completely seal the nail rail. It’s really disappointing that I did not notice this until after I had the door installed, but It’s really an eyesore and I wish this would have been noticed in the factory.

We had this Full View Interchangeable door installed by Home Depot May 2018. The installer had the job done in about 20 minutes and it worked and looked beautiful. The problems began in the fall when we had to change the screen out for the glass. The retainer strips that held the screen in place were very difficult to remove and even using all the tips in the info from Andersen, including heating the strips, we broke several of them. We even went back to Home Depot and the salesperson couldn't believe how difficult they were to remove. We got the glass in and found that the sun coming through the glass on our south facing door was heating up the steel door and melting our wreath! We had to leave the interior door open to release the heat most sunny afternoons, even in subzero temps. When removing the glass, 1 corner bracket broke and another was noticed to be defective and made the glass unstable. After several calls, even to an 800 number with a person who's English was difficult to understand with roosters crowing in the background, Andersen would not help us, saying glass is only warrantied for 90 days. We will replace this door with self storing low E glass, but not an Andersen product. We bought this door because of Andersen's good reputation and are very disappointed in their customer service.

Door is ok if installed in spring with just screen. Not great but ok. Trouble comes in fall when time to install full glass panel. Needs two people and even then not easy, and only after bending various surfaces so that they may fit. Not an easy task and quite frustrating. Its just as easy to manufacture a good door to spec as this crap. You will then notice the rust on the closers less that 120 days after door was installed. When you thing this piece of crap cant get any worse - you go to remove glued sticker on glass with phone number for defective parts - HA! Can only come off by scratching glass. Totally glued. Keep your sense of humor. I would like some of the reviewers for this door redo three months after door installed. All kidding aside this door is crap and downright dangerous given the twisting and bending of the glass frame. Good luck if you bought one.

This was an easy install. The hardest part was taking out old door. Very simple directions. Is a 2 person job. Love my door.

Needed to add pizazz to front of house and be able to enjoy outside! Very quick installation and looks classy.

The door itself was as expected for a high end storm door. So was the handle and lock hardware. Installation of the door was relatively easy, up until the installation of the door closer cylinders. After the door closers were installed the door would only open to about 45 deg, at which point the door closers bottomed out. I contacted Andersen about the problem and they sent me a new set of door closers, same as the first set and still the same problem. See the photo of the door closed and with one end of the closer pinned. The door closer mounting bracket on the door is about 2.5 inches away from the pin hole on the closer. When the closer is pinned on both ends the closer is already extended 2.5 inches with the door closed. So when the door is opened the travel is restricted and will not allow the door to open any where near 90 degrees, as it should. When paying this much for a door I should not have to do a custom remount of the door closer bracket to get the door to operate as it should.

If you're hoping for a nice burnished coppery or brass color to shine though, you're going to be disappointed. From any angle under any lighting, it just looks black. Quick Install Note: Once you've measured the opening it's going in, make sure that you have at least 1 inch of space between the opening and any moldings above or to the left or right of the door frame. THE ANDERSON FRAME HAS FLANGES PROTRUDING TO THE LEFT, RIGHT, AND ABOVE THE FRAME THAT SCREW INTO THE FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE, IT DOES NOT SCREW IN FROM THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR OPENING AS SOME SCREEN/STORM DOORS DO - this is why you will need at least an inch of clearance around your YY" x ZZ" door hole. We had to rip off moldings and put back up smaller ones because this wasn't clear from the outset.

It does not fit a regular standard 36 " door its 1 inch to short and you have to buy the lock and handles separately for additional 55 dollars when you can get the same door but different names with everything so look around before you buy this storm door

The door was exactly what we wanted. Arrived ahead of time.

We installed three of these doors to replace the wooden screen doors on our 1914 farm house. The directions were very clear and easy to follow with the added advantage of access to a video for any doubts or questions. They are airtight, a plus for energy savings. It's 98 degrees out right now, so we'll see how they perform this winter when temperatures drop below zero.

I love my door, even though I picked it up over a month and half ago it jus got installed with my new prehung entry door that had to be installed first.

The most important part of instal is making sure the exterior mounting surface is plumb, if not you have to make it so before installing the door. The good: Installation is pretty straight forward, and can be done by one person. All hardware needed for instal is included with the door (except door handle). The screen and glass options are easy to switch; with that said, there is a “feel” to using the trim pieces that hold the screen/glass in place. You don’t have to push super hard, you just need to push on the correct spot on the trim to get it to snap in place. Once i figured that out, it was super easy. The bad: The automatic closers are way too strong for the screen option. After trying every “power” combo adjustment, I couldn’t get the door to close without snapping shut like a moustrap, or taking 30 seconds to close without latching. What worked for me was removing the top closer when the screen is installed. There are two corner sections of the door that weren’t painted properly, I didn’t notice until after the door was installed. It didn’t bother me enough to remove the door to return/exchange.

We installed one on our back door as well as the front and they look and function great! Installation took me (a novice) well over 45 minutes, but for someone a bit more handy, I'm sure they could finish within that timeframe.

My new Andersen door made a big difference to the entrance. I've always wanted a full view glass door for my first home and this is it! It was easy to install. I was afraid the Andersen handle would interfere with the other door knob but it didn't thank god. The only con I would say is that in order to have your screen in use you have to remove the whole glass frame and insert the screen, which is not of great quality. It's very thin and not sturdy enough. But overall, regarding the view, it is beautiful.

Easy to install and Beautiful view from inside and outside the house!!

Love Love Love this door. It allows me to leave my backdoor open and let in the fresh air. My handyman said it was one of the easiest doors he has ever installed.
