Security Doors

What is the difference between Security Storm Doors and Security Screen Doors?

We get this question a lot from people looking to buy their first Security Door. There are two main differences:

1. Storm Doors are meant to better protect from inclement weather. The seals on a Storm Door are weather-tight, which cannot be said of Screen Doors, and Storm Doors have full glass and an interchangeable top screen. This is nice for adding insulation and light in winter while still maintaining security. In the warmer months, you can change out the top glass panel for a screen to allow for a cross breeze without compromising security.
2. A Storm Door is mounted inside the door jamb using Z-Bar. A Screen Door is mounted on the face of the door jamb.
