Another word of caution - make sure your door frame is square and plumb.
Your storm door won't close and latch smoothly if it has any twist.

I'm going to buy three new storm doors or maybe security type doors.
Two
back doors and one front door.
I will price both at Home Depot and Lowes. Is this a job that I'm
going
to be able to do myself with the help of a friend, or is this
something
a carpenter has to do? Does it take any special tools? I have the
basic
hand tools.
Thanks Margo

One word of caution, and this depends on the door you buy. Some of
those wood core doors are now only 3/4" of an inch thick. If the ones
you purchase are like this, make sure you get the frame hinge screws in
straight, or you will find them coming out the back/front of door skin.
Seen this before.
