I am installing a new Pella Ashford Storm Door that touted 60 minute
installation.

The instructions are very clear if the width of the door frame is the
perfect size or is too big, but not so clear if the door frame is a bit
too small. The first step in the instructions is to attach the "header
frame" (which is just a metal bar) to the top of the door frame. But
in my case, this "header frame" is about 1/4 inch too long. Should I
cut the header frame or parts of the door jamb. I have placed the
entire storm door and frame in the existing door frame and it is a
tight fit. I really don't want to cut the existing door frame, but I
am concerned that if I cut the "header frame", then I will be causing
more problems. Any advice?


I have cut the storm door header every time I have installed a storm door.
If the sides are not too tight, then it is fine.
