Customer Reviews for EMCO 100 Series Plus 36 in. x 78 in. White Universal Self-Storing Storm Door with Black Hardware

Its not a bad door but you need to do some additional work to ensure it will last more than a couple years. The core of the door is made out of chip board, not a very good product when subjected to water. I read a lot of the reviews on these doors and saw the pictures posted online and complaints about swelling of the door and failure. The way the door is built you need to seal up around the door frame and window. So I caulked the seems with a good silicone to help eliminate any water intrusion. If you buy the cheapest door offered you need to plan to do a little additional work, so be realistic in your expectations.

Its a really good door for the price , nice and sturdy unlike my previous all aluminum storm door which was on its last limb.

The worst quality. Over time water seeps in and rots the wood core. The description doesn't mention the interior is wood which rots and damages the interior and exterior "aluminum" part of the door. My contractor said this is very common. The warranty apparently covers the person, not the door, and is not transferrable to a new homeowner, which is absurd. It's cheap for a reason, you get what you pay for.

Door is very poorly made and did not even last 18 months. Door is a storm door and it broke by wind. Warranty of 10 years is a scam since they did not cover damages by win/external force under warranty.

Worst door ever. Glass very thin. Plastic trim missing 1/4 " cold air entry. Up/ slider cockeyed - cold air entry. Have to push top of glass to guide into track so will go up. The weather strip had a 1-in tear in it the first day.

It function well; easy installation and reasonable price

The glass and screen fell out of this door less than 3 months after installation. Not a good experience trying to get the Orange TX Home Depot to replace the door either. I would not recommend this door.

Door is easy to assemble and can be painted in various styles and finishes, and windows can be stained.

I highly recommend this door. The price point was much better than a regular screen door. Very sturdy and easy to install

I’ve never seen such a terrible door before. Covered with glue adhesive. Scratches all over it. Screws sticking up not tightened. The corners are horribly not aligned. This is the worst door I’ve ever bought. Don’t not buy!!!

As far as basic assembly goes, it was easy to put together. Unfortunately this thing has ripped off the hinges two times now and is unusable. Complete waste of money.

Easy to install they look great. I purchased two doors for my sunporch.

Nice door easy to install

I think one of the glass panes is separated at one corner have not tried to take it out yet

Decent door for the price. Note: you can only open screen on the bottom. I didn’t catch that at purchase. That may be an issue with my dogs and grandkids down the line. Troy through Home Depot did a great job with installation. Will update in the future.

I bought this door and after 5 years the wood core rotted from water penetrating it at the seams resulting in warping, corrosion to the aluminum frame and ultimately carpenter ants nesting in the rotted wood. Emco replaced the door under warranty and the same thing happened to the replacement door in exactly the same time frame (i.e., rotted core, warping, corrosion and carpenter ants - a true sign of rotted wood). Having gone through the entire claim process with photos, emails, etc., the initial response was fairly good with an email stating they would give me a 50% credit for the value and contact me within 10 business days. I responded with a question about why only a 50% credit on a door with an alleged 10 year warranty (it was 12 on the first door) and what value that percentage was based on, and have had no further contact from them after 2 weeks and 2 follow-up emails. The door looked good initially but is not well made (as an aside, the screen does not fit tightly leaving gaps on the bottom and sides allowing insects to enter) and certainly does not qualify as an outside door with any type of exposure to heavy rain or harsh weather conditions and should not be advertised or sold with a 10 year warranty if its useful life as a storm door is 5 years or less. I am extremely disappointed with the door quality and the customer service thus far. I definitely would not recommend this door for any type of exposed area unless you want to replace it in a very short time.

Very pleased with the quality and looks of this screen door. Very nice finish, and all the parts were in the box. Instructions were 99% accurate and clear. Instructions for anything are rarely 100% accurate, but these came very close with really only one missing piece of info on what size drill bit to use for one of the steps. The closer and the door handle hardware work great. If you are like me and have never installed a screen door before, the 2-hour estimate is a joke. I didn't time it, but it took a good 8 hours to complete on a not so square doorway of an old house. The included shim strip came in very handy. I had to cut it and double it up on the bottom to make everything fit right. Highly recommended.

Not a happy camper!!! Bought a metal Emco door 3 years ago and now it is warped and caroded and doesn’t shut right. Had a fiberglass Emco door that is still in great shape never warped and always closed without a problem!! The fiberglass door will be reused on another door to my basement. I will never buy a metal door like this one again considering that it has caused too many problems and would never recommend your metal door due the fact it warped and is all caroded and falling apart DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!

So far it's working out wonderfully. It's only been installed a couple of weeks, but it looks and functions well. I'm in an apartment and wanted the ability to have more light come in.

Easy to install and a beautiful look to your home.

I hired someone to buy and install the door. Two men did it in about 2.5 hours. I know doors can be tricky and take time. After 2.5 hours, it looks great! I didn't give full stars because it's too soon to tell if its perfect. I'm leaving room for error. But it's pretty for a low price door.

I purchased an Emco 32 in. x 80 in. 100 Series Plus White Self-Storing Storm Door. After only a few weeks, the screw holding the hydraulics stripped out of the metal/door itself. 

Installing a Storm door is not an easy task. I followed the instructions and it took me about two hours to install. Solid door at a great price. Would recommend.

My pump was to small and you’ll sent me another one which was the same size as the one it came with..

This door is such poor quality that it doesn’t even deserve ONE star. The door fell over just a couple of feet and it broke. I called Anderson Storm Door Solution Center on 4/6/21 and filed a claim (I thought I did). They were supposed to send me an email so I could send them pictures and I never received an email! Horrible customer service!!! I had to give this door one star to be able to submit the review!

Storm door would be nice if you could install location that would not get wet. within a few months the bottom of the door started swelling. the aluminum by the hinge also completely deteriorated. door lasted about 1 year before becoming too warped to close properly. the image shows the swelling starting at the bottom left of the window then expanding through the entire bottom of the particle board.

Door was easy enough to install with two people. I installed on a screened aluminum framed porch with very thing sides so I needed to reinforce with some scrap material for the hardware to function properly. Overall, the door is quality and the instructions are easy enough to follow. No need to spring for the Anderson as this has Anderson labels on a lot of the parts. If you need a decent cheap door, this will do it.

Quite challenging to install. Needed to read the instructions a number of times.

The storm door was easy to install, the color I choose was exactly the one I saw online

the new door was missing all the hardware except the closure cylinder. All the screws were missing,the long metal strip with the door hinges were missing.the door handle was also missing.Luckily I still had all my old parts that seem to fit. pic 1 shows everything that was in the box. pic 2 shows my old hinge strip in stalled.
