Here's a recent installation that blends strength & beauty...

This customer has a unique entry door system where there is a double door with a full door next to it. It is essentially a triple door system where the double door is the operable system...

They purchased the 608 Amethest laser art storm doors. On one end is a double door unit to match the double entry door unit behind it, and then a third storm door over the inoperable third entry door. In order to give the customer the ability to clean the glass and access the entry door, the third storm door utilizes cam locks. This way, the customer can access the entry door or clean the storm door glass.

Prior to installing, we capped their jamb in aluminum coil, making it maintenance-free and giving it a clean, updated look. This customer now has storm doors adding elegance as well as strength and security!

The Tale of Two Sides: Why This Homeowner Finally Replaced Their Vintage Wood Door

Swipe to see the dramatic difference between the interior and exterior of this Chicago home's original wood entry door.

❤️ INTERIOR: Still beautiful, showing the warmth that made them hesitant to replace it

😰 EXTERIOR: Split panels, rotted bottom, corroded hardware—plus it wouldn't open half the time

This homeowner loved their door's character but couldn't live with doors that stuck in humidity, drafted in winter, and sometimes just refused to open. The constant expansion and contraction from our temperature swings, plus years of sun, salt, and moisture damage had taken their toll.

The solution? Our steel entry doors with authentic wood-grain texture and finish. They kept the look that fits their home's period architecture while gaining:

✓ No more sticking or swelling ✓ Superior energy efficiency
✓ Real security ✓ Zero maintenance refinishing

Your historic home deserves both beauty AND performance. You shouldn't have to choose.

Here's a recent installation that was designed to meet certain customer needs and required unique customization...

This patio storm door system was installed to fit over a sliding patio door. The customer wanted to get as much light as possible, get ventilation, but also have a screen that can withstand the scratches of a small dog.

The All-View storm door style gives plenty of light and the full view screen provides maximum ventilation. And to ensure her dog doesn't damage the screen, she went with a heavy-duty pet screen...

To accomplish this installation, we had to build a steel outer-frame because there was no framing to hang the doors on. This required custom framing and custom size doors. The end result is a smooth, clean finished look that met all of the customers needs and earned Defender a 5-star review!

Front porch security? Covered.

✅ Steel security storm door with Armor Shield for deadbolt protection

✅ Lock & hinge window guard for both safety and easy cleaning

Paired with a Ring doorbell + good lighting for visibility and deterrence, this Chicago homeowner now has layered protection without sacrificing style. That’s why more families give us the Windy City Seal of Approval!

Here's an installation of an arch-top storm door that replaced the original...

The customer went with a clean, full-view style in a color that complemented their stone surround and entry door color. The slimline lock is in polished brass which offers a subtle, classy contrast to the door color...

Their new door has weatherstripping all the way around and a new door sweep at the bottom. Air drafts will now be greatly reduced and the entire house a nice new appeal!
