   In addition to being noisy and irritating, a misaligned or broken storm door can wear at the door frame and paint of your house. If your storm door requires pulling to close or won’t close at all, you likely need to adjust the door in some way. Usually, you can solve this problem by realigning the frame or adjusting the pneumatic closer.

   Open the door from the outside and move it up and down.

   This will show you if the frame or trim of the door needs to be secured. Focus your attention on the hinge side of the door frame to see if there’s any movement of the wooden trim or frame.

   Secure the wooden trim with extra nails.

   You can use a hammer and nails to secure the top of the trim if it’s sagging. If the sides are lifting, you can also secure them with additional nails after you have addressed the top of the trim. Place nails 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) apart and hammer into the trim gently.

   Place a wooden shim between the door and the frame.

   This will ensure that the door and the frame will stay in place while you adjust the frame. It’ll also keep the door from swinging open and potentially hitting you while you’re working!

   Turn the closing rate adjustment screw to fix slamming or slow closing.

   This small screw controls how quickly or slowly the door will close. It’s located on the closing arm near where it is mounted to the door. Turning the screw clockwise will slow down the closing rate to prevent slamming, and turning counterclockwise will increase the closing rate.

   Adjust the mounting of the closing arm if the door is not latching.

   You can add extra force to the door closing mechanism by adjusting where it is mounted to the door. Most brackets will have additional holes on either side to do exactly this. Simply unscrew where the arm is attached to the door. Move the arm away from the hinges and screw it into the next hole.

   Check the range of the door.

   Once you’ve moved the mounting, make sure the door opens far enough on the outside. Sometimes, moving the arm will make the door open slightly less, so you will need to make sure there is enough space to get in and out of the door.

   Check the trim and frame every 2-3 months.

   If you have previously secured the trim or frame of your storm door, check that it hasn’t come loose. If you catch the problem early, you can avoid having to add new screws to your frame or nails to the trim by tightening and securing the ones that you have in place.

   Apply WD-40 or 3-in-1 oil to the hinges to keep the door swinging smoothly.

   If your storm door creaks while it opens and closes, or is difficult to swing open or closed, applying lubrication to the hinges can help.

   Apply these oils sparingly and wipe off any excess afterwards, as they can attract dirt and dust.

   Clean your storm door every 1-2 months.
