Can a Storm Door Be Cut to Height?

Types

• Storm doors are constructed of various materials, including wood, plastic, and aluminum.

Considerations

• Your ability to cut the door for height depends upon the material and the style of door. A storm door that is primarily glass will probably not be able to be cut down. It is possible to cut down a storm door made of wood, but other types are usually prohibitively difficult to modify.

Door Frame

• It may be preferable to modify the door frame rather than cutting down the door itself. You can install a Z-bar extender to fill the gap between the door and frame.

Custom Door

• If your door does not fit and you are unable to cut it down, consider ordering a custom sized door.
