Storm/Screen Door Standard Application Information

 Owner installed storm or screen doors must be individual approved prior to installation, regardless of location on the house, (front, rear or side entrances or existing to elevated decks).  This guideline does not apply to sliding glass/screen doors.  The objective of this guideline is to describe doors that will have a minimal and complementary visual and aesthetic impact on the appearance of the home.

 Doors must be full view, with kick plates no greater than 12 inches in height and no panels other than glass of transparent screening intended to impede insects.  "Full View" is defined as allowing an uninterrupted view of the underlying door, but may include so called "split full view" doors with two separate removable panels, provided that the cross bar securing the panels is no greater than two inches in width.  The latter does not include "self-storing" doors which have screening permanently installed behind the glass (like a storm window), because that would diminish the "full view" of the underlying door.  Discreet decorative etching on the (glass) border of single panel glass doors will generally not disqualify the door as "full view".

 Storm or screen doors over the front door (principal entrance) must exactly match the color of the underlying door or that of the immediately surrounding trim.  Storm or screen doors at the side or rear of the house should also match the underlying door or the surrounding trim.  Unit owners who must paint storm doors to match (the door or the trim) are advised against the purchase of vinyl doors, to which paint may not adhere adequately.
