Entry Doors vs Storm Doors: What Each Door Does
Entry doors and storm doors work together, but they do not serve the same purpose.
Entry Doors
An entry door is the main exterior door to the home. It affects security, insulation, privacy, appearance, and everyday access. A properly fitted entry door should close securely, seal well, resist weather exposure, and complement the home.
Storm Doors
A storm door is installed in front of the main entry door. It helps protect the entry door from rain, snow, wind, and seasonal wear while adding ventilation, visibility, and another layer of comfort.
Tarnow Doors can help homeowners determine whether they need a new entry door, a storm door, or a coordinated replacement of both.
Entry Door Replacement
A new entry door can improve security, reduce drafts, strengthen the seal around the opening, and update the appearance of the home. Tarnow Doors helps homeowners compare door materials, decorative glass, privacy options, finishes, hardware, insulation, and threshold performance before installation.
Therma-Tru® Entry Door Systems
Therma Tru entry door systems offer a range of fiberglass door styles, decorative glass options, finishes, hardware, and insulation features. Tarnow Doors helps homeowners compare designs that fit the home’s architecture, security needs, weather exposure, and budget.

- Improved security

Storm Door Installation

Why Proper Door Installation Matters
Entry doors and storm doors need to be measured, fitted, sealed, and aligned correctly so they close securely and perform well over time.
A properly installed entry or storm door can help:
- Reduce air leaks around the door frame
- Improve comfort near the entryway
- Protect the main entry door from rain, snow, and wind
- Support better security and everyday operation
- Improve curb appeal with a clean, finished look
- Reduce sticking, rubbing, or difficult locking

When to Replace Your Entry Door or Storm Door
Replacement may be the better option when an entry door or storm door no longer seals, locks, protects, or operates properly.
Replace an entry door when:
- Drafts are noticeable around the frame
- The door is warped, cracked, rusted, or damaged
- The lock no longer aligns properly
- Light is visible around the edges
- The door sticks or does not close securely
- You want better security, insulation, or curb appeal
Replace a storm door when:
- The frame is bent or damaged
- The glass or screen no longer works properly
- The door no longer latches or closes smoothly
- It no longer protects the main entry door
- You want better ventilation or visibility
Tarnow Doors can help you determine whether your home needs a new entry door, a storm door, or both.
Entry Door & Storm Door Installation FAQs
Tarnow Doors helps homeowners understand entry door replacement, storm door protection, energy efficiency, door materials, professional installation, and showroom options before choosing the right door system for their home.
How do I know when to replace my entry door?
