Can I put a simple screen door on my french doors?

Comments (6)Many manufacturers do that, the primary reason is regarding the the summer ventilation where homeowners neglect to ventilate as described above. Generally a manufacturer won't deny a warranty claim unless the failure is due that that condition, however there's nothing wrong with playing it safe if you don't live the idea of a storm anyway.
