Customer Reviews for Andersen 2000 Series 36 in. x 80 in. White Universal Full View Retractable Aluminum Storm Door with Brass Hardware

The door is great and the installer did a great job in record time. We highly recommend this door and installation by Home Depot.

Very nice

This door is not Andersen Quilty I had this door befor 15 years ago installed on my old house and it's still like was new THIS DOOR Instructions where back words for left and right hand plus when ordered it asked left or right hand ? That was wasted step in ordering 2 cd low E glass not low E they just put sticker on the box and charged more 3rd the bottom seal sweep not wide enough its let's bugs In 3/8 inc gap on each side come on Andersen spare little more rubber Had by new seal the right size My over all Buy the Better Model 3000 series

Would give this door zero stars if I could. Installed in May. Failed in August with screen torn and window frame for moving piece fallen apart. Called Andersen and a warranty replacement piece was sent, about 1 month later. Working with a local handyman, the replacement parts have poor instructions and do not fit in well. This door replaced a door that was in place for 20 years and was starting to show its age. This door is likely to be replaced within one year. Stay away. Not worth the price. Andersen's royal reputation is not deserved based on this product.

These storm are visually appealing, however, quality is very poor and unlike any storm door I've had previously. I purchased these less than a year ago. Within 6 months, there is significant warping of the screen door track. This also caused the middle horizontal panel to break and pop out of its socket, leaving a large hole / gap between the panel and glass through which water leaks into. Storm doors are meant to be able to be used outdoors, and should not warp and become misshapen like this with temperature change especially in a new door like this. I have had prior storm doors 10-15+ years old that were less expensive that have withstood much harsher extremes of temperatures and have never had problems with warping. I purchased this door due to its Andersen brand, but am extremely disappointed with the poor quality of this door. The contractor who installed my door also told me he has had poor experiences with quality of Andersen doors.

I had this installed by the Home Depot pros. They did a great job and I love this door!

I will start by saying i love the finished product. This door is a challage to install. Directions are a bit confusing. Not a beginner project. Just take your time and you will love the results.

I love this door! The one hand retractable screen is so useful! The lock to hold open with your foot is so useful!

Beautiful door. Works amazing. Just had it installed. Love it.

I am totally satisfied. My workman installed it in my sunroom, and it is Beautiful. The screen totally rolls up into the door frame, and you are left with a clear glass, fantastic door. The screen pulls down and is a nice, tightly woven piece. I can see my pool and the canal I live on much better without half a door obstructing my view. The door stays open with a touch of your foot. Andersen is the best, all my home have them, and they stand by their product! James at Home Depot was so helpful as well.

This door comes in a box with gigantic "Easy Oops-Proof Installation" print on it. The smaller print says "Any lost parts or miss-cuts during installation may be replaced free of charge. Just call 1-800-933-3626". Once you screw up and call they ask for pictures, copies of instructions and the template (this door requires drilling some LARGE and precise holes in the frame). There is inconsistency between the printed instructions and the template which can cause you to drill holes in the wrong place. What a surprise that this particular "oops" is not a covered event. The guaranty, if you want to call it that, is a scam.

I have been wanting this door for long time and it did not disappoint. The self-storing screen is easy to roll down and allows a wonderful breeze into the living room. The nickel hardware is a beautiful touch to a terrific door.

I purchased two of these doors. First install my expert contractor worked on putting this door in for over 3.5 hours. It was not an easy installation. He had to shim the door frame to close some gapping on the side. It is quite likely the door frame was not plumb. The second install had a different issue; the door sweep barely leaves the bottom of the door even though the screws are adjustable it does not drop down nearly far enough. It seems the drill holes are not in the right place? (or it is just way too short.) This leaves about an inch of daylight at bottom of door. I've have ordered another sweep off Amazon and will see later if that handles the ill fitting. Perhaps I should have a bought an 81 inch from Larson..... this door does not come in 81". It is a very nice door with its full view and drop down hidden screen which we have not used yet. The nickel hardware is very nice. It looks very nice so I will give it a 4.

Had door for a year had buy replacement parts we don't use the door everyday and no small kids be careful decided to go in door unlocked open door and the end cut my foot had to get TD shot In a nutshell get a cheaper door poor me purchased 2

I have got an Andersen 2500 series storm door 3 weeks ago. The installation was not too bad although it took longer than 2 hours. I guess you can do it in 2 hours if you do this all the time. The door looks very nice but... after 3 weeks of use the bug screen started to come out of its rail on the left side of the screen. I removed the top cover of the frame right above the retraction mechanism and I see that the left bracket of the mechanism is crooked and forcing the bug screen out of the rail. The whole mechanism looks very flimsy and I could not find any way to straighten or fix the bracket so we are stuck with a useless bug screen. I should have just bought the model without a retractable screen for half the price.

Looks to be good quality, I would buy another.

Other than hanging the door inside out at my first try it's a great door. My wife wanted an upgrade and I started It a little flustered. I didn't notice my mistake till I was ready to Install the closer. I just made it a right handle door instead of left. Also there was a bit of shimming to do even at around 32"-321/8".

This door was a bear to install. The directions were not clear and hard to follow. You could call this door the divorce maker. I would encourage anyone that buys this door to hire a professional installation. Or, just buy a door you don't have to put together, drill holes and install. It's up, we survived and I love the door!

I looked at this door at another vendor, i decided to go with home depot, because of the volunteering work done for veterans, and I already have an account with home depot. I like the look and the feel and easy movement of this door. Im glad I have it.

read your instructions,understand,and follow. the job will come together very nicely. Do measure correctly and acturately, it's critical. Do use a centerpunch where directed. The only feature i found less than satisfactory was the closer does not allow the door to open a full 90 degree. not a deal breaker, since it was fully installed at that point. installed two doors over 2 days, about 3 hrs 1st door, 2 hrs 2nd door. could probably do in 1.5. They look great, the screens are great for the air flow, You should be very pleased with the value. installed 1st week may '19

Love my new storm/screen door! It lets the sun and light in perfectly. Looks nice from the street as well. Very well built - love the pull down screen!

The directions were a little confusing but with a YouTube video, went together fine. Works great so far.

My husband and I were able to install this in just a couple of hours. It was not hard, just very detailed. Wonderful door, high quality, I would recommend for anyone looking for a storm door with a screen for the summer months.

Overall the instructions were clear and installation was a breeze. However, the template they included for drilling the holes for the handle/lock was not folded properly and resulted in the holes not being lined up. We should have checked that before applying the template, but at the same time why would it be pre-folded if it isn’t going to be correct? So after the panic attack of messing up the handles, we were able to chisel the holes over a bit and make it work. I love how much light the door lets in, and the ease of working the retractable screen. I also love that it locks. Just adds one more level of security. It did take longer than the advertised “2 hour easy install,” but it was an easy 2-person job, probably took us 3.5 hours. Ultimately not bad!

Screen doesn’t retact

For the money, time and effort I give this door an awful. I got the full glass storm door for the availability of seeing more. The door went in easy enough, however after I mounted the handles were not allowing a clear turning radius, and the more I pulled it would come off; after several attempts, I realized I had not read the instructions correctly as it showed to mount the plate handle then insert upwards. I was slipping in the handle after I mounted the plate, and it seemed not be correct; but ok... so I had to redo them. The real problem that seemed very frustrated me was the way the door closed. It supposed to latch, preventing it from opening. The way it closes there is no reenforced plate or a reinforced latch as with most door. Poor design. So the locks wont lock, or the latch won’t fit snugly into the crease as directed. Yet Customers are directed to purchase an expensive handle with hardware that is dysfunctional; what a joke. The Product Manager at Home Depot needs a lesson on product knowledge? Or is this just a poor design from American Engineering or best Hong Kong can deliver? The lock comes with a key, if one could lock the door, and that seems poorly planned as well? Its about the engineering; so that even if every thing was sitting even, or mounted up to the door, doesn’t provide a secure lock. My problem was it was off due to the frame. It leave little room to reinforce the frame; or use a metal hasp for reinforcement ? Neither the lock nor the door itself locked correctly. I went back to Home Depot and saw that they had in the sample reenforced it. Why not sell or at least offer this? In closing, while mounting the brake absorber, it was cumbersome to pull out, check for the way it closes. As well in the plate that is on the wall side, it appears that the plate was fitted for the frame. Curved to fit along and over the frame but the directions show to turn that outwards. Just so you know, I used to work for Home Depot, and this isn’t my first storm door.

Took about 2 hours to install for someone who is not handy whatsoever. Totally worth it! Wish the hole were predrilled for the handle but it turned out fantastic!

I don't know how the door passed inspection. The bottom window is not in line with the rest of the framing. I would have taken it back but it was so much work to get it in, I just didn't have it in me to take it back out, exchange it and reinstall. Instructions left a lot to be desired. The list of tools needed is incomplete. I had to go back to Home Depot and buy a drill bit to finish installing the door handle. Thanks to YouTube the door is installed. The door looks really nice. The handle hardware is really nice. Once the weather breaks it will be interesting to see how the pull down screening works over time. Also wondering how bad its going to be if I have to replace the screen.

Wonderful Door, easy to put in, I am a 60 yo woman and I put it in by myself in 2 hours. LOVE the way the screen stores in the door. My cats & dogs love the door too.

All the parts were clearly labeled. We had to use a bigger shim than the one that was included. All in all very happy with this door.
