I am seriously considering the brown model and the larger one, myself. Thanks for the info. The door can be hinged to either side, so if you had done the opposite side, you would not have the issue with its handle being a problem in hitting your doorknob, I believe, but that may have created issues in having it open and close differently than your solid door. Lowe's is the seller of them here and Home Depot does not carry them here. Your video helps to make my choice easier. Thanks.
I am a certified door guy. Hang the door frist then drill for the handle. You can move the gide up or down to miss your entrydoor hardware. Also this model is a wood core. I do not remember. Wood rots plain and simple. Spend the extra money and get the hollow aluminium one. It will out last it by far. My favorite stormdoor and I have on my house is the 156FV with the hidden closers.
It is years later from my original post and the trouble I have now is finding out how to replace the warped plastic doogie door piece or flap. Larson does not have instructions on such, and I do not wish to replace the door just to resolve this issue. The magnetic ability on our flap is not good now that the plastic flap itself is warped and worn from frequent use by our dogs. It lets cold win in at that room and also flies or mosquitoes, so replacement should indeed be included or on a download file from Larson. It is a really great door, but this issue has not been addressed and I'd hate to have to replace the entire door to resolve this issue.
Hi. The flap on our door has a replacement number on the outside at the very top. It’s hard to see and raised, like brail. Ours says “Petsafe,” and the replacement number is PAC11-11039. Hope this helps!
You sure seem only capable of posting complaints on YT. I saw you post a similarly helpless comment on other videos regarding this product. Ever try reaching out to the manufacturer, or inspecting the door closely? They replied with the part number you should have been able to see yourself and you didnt even thank them.
I have one but how would you change the screen in the door , I noticed that the screen itself doesn’t seem to be strong for the dogs nails and jumping , so if the screen tears how would you change it ?
Hi. My husband was able to swap the panels (put the panel with the screen on top and the panel with the glass on bottom). I’m not sure exactly how he did it, but the door was designed for the panels to be swapped. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.
