Anderson 3000 Series Door
,PostedFebruary 13, 2010
I purchased this nice full length glass door on sale. My previous storm door and entry door were destroyed during hurricane Katrina. The Sandstone color and nickel hardware is appealing. The door comes with a built in full length screen door that fits with two clips. The only problem I encountered is that one of the clips was missing from the hardware pack. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and the features. I would recommend this door to others.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Looks beautiful and has withstood a million kids coming in and out of it all day! :) Handle came loose slightly after a week or so but we tightened it up and all has been well since. This door has been working hard since the day we installed it and we couldn't be more happy!
Pros: Beautiful Appearance, Easy to Install, Great Value, Well Made, Easy to Clean, High Quality

We love the door but agree with the others that the plastic pieces holding the screen/glass panel in is ill designed. The screen didn't rattle but the glass did. I solved it by getting some spongy weather trim that fit inside the channel of the trim that goes against the glass. I had to push hard on the trim to snap it into place but the foam weather strip keeps the glass snug against the frame and provides another seal. I was pretty frustrated until I came up with this solution. Get the weather strip that is about 3/8 '' wide and has the white wax paper on one side. Works great.
Cons: design flaw
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is a great door! It is well made, sturdy and it really enhances the look of the front of my home. The door is very substantial and the hardware is not only attractive but also very functional. I didn't install it myself--HD installed the door for me, and they were in and out in less than half an hour!

I installed this door on my daugher and son-in-law's house. The instructions were complete and all the necessary parts were included. The instructions were clearly stated and included pictures of tools and parts that were needed for each step. We took about 4 hours to install, but we did not rush anything and visited while we worked. I would estimate a craftsman could install it in 1.5 hours and the average homeowner in 3 to 5 hours. We only made one mistake - we did not check the existing door for level before we started, so we had to redrill one hole and refasten the weather shield above the door.
The only flaw with the door is the glass panel trim was difficult to install correctly which could be an issue if they change from glass to screen very often.
I would buy this door again. It is very sturdy and should perform well in this windy area due to the dual door closure devices.

Just bought this door on 7-14-12 nice door but it's not 80 inchs the door size is only 79 my husband had to add pieces of wood to make up the differance. And as for the peices of plastic that hold the glass or screen have fun putting it all in went back to store and told them I want them to take it all out of show and put it all back in. Salesman had a time doing it but once he got it and showed me how to get it in right. I would have gotten the 4000 but I wanted the nickel plated handle and that was a special order need one asap. Besides all that the door does look nice. Remember that brass handles tarnish and everyone of my other doors are like that so it's better to buy the nickel plated...I would recommend it you have the time to play with the sizeing......
Yes, I recommend this product.

I installed this door on the primary entry of my home almost 4 years ago. The door is strong and has held up to near extream use. The wind of a Maine winter caught the door before it had closed causing the hindge to be damaged. I suspect that the door would give many more years of use if it would not have been for this incident. I am replacing the door with the same one.
The only negative that the method used to hold the glass/screen in place could better.
Very happy overall with the door.

Great storm door. Use the instructional videos on youtube!!!
,PostedSeptember 26, 2011
The Andersen storm doors are great. Be aware the glass and screens on the 3000 are held in by plastic "wedges" that you need to force into place. The 4000 has a much better mechanical system to hold them in. Also the printed directions are useless for non carpenters. The Andersen step by step video on YouTube is the way to go.

A few cheap parts ruin a good door
,PostedSeptember 6, 2011
Overall, you could do a lot worse on a storm door. It's solid, nicely finished and installs easily.
However, the super-cheap plastic pieces that hold the screen/window in place ruin the door. These flimsy rails are meant to snap into a channel on the inside of the door frame. They're frustrating to use and definitely aren't engineered to last. I messed up two pieces just practicing with it and will have to order replacements.
I would not recommend this door simply for that reason. Spend more for the screen-window, built-in doors or try a make that uses a different system.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Ordered a custom "black" storm door for a customer of mine to go along with her new entry door. The end result after installation was perfect, almost looked like the storm door wasn't even there it blended in so well. Installation was pretty straight forward with the directions pretty clear and concise, a little iffy in regards to the striker plate lining up with the pre-cut holes in the latch bar, but otherwise good. Customer is happy with her new storm door.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great finish to my entry. Door material feels sturdy. Instructions are not for the faint of heart. All day project with an experienced contractor who had never installed a storm door. On of the pieces was incorrect and Abco is replacing at no charge. After being installed approx 1 month there is some 'popping' in the bottom hinge, will be contacting Abco about that. Overall it's what I have been looking for.
Pros: Functional
Cons: difficult installation, some quality issues 1 mo later
Yes, I recommend this product.

This product is a joke. It has terrible 45 degree joints and wasn't square. We're licensed CA Contractors and we had to wrestle with 2 of these before we bagged it for the other 8 and ordered a different manufacturer.
Bunch of stupid add on strips for hinges,nailers etc, that with any thought process and engineering could have been an integral part of the product. Stay away.

We decided to go with this door instead of the one you turn the handle to remove the glass to save on cost. If I had it to do over I would have spent the extra money. The strips aren't hard to remove and replace, but I notice myself catching items on the strips going in and out of the door.

Perfect!!
,PostedMarch 6, 2010
Door was easy to install....just follow the directions. Adjustable in a couple of ways if your frame is not exactly 36" by 84". It'll be great to have a screen when its warmer and the glass when its colder. The full view glass shows off the front door beautifully. Not a big fan of brass colored hardware, so the nickel works out perfectly.
