Storm Door Warranties: What Calgary Homeowners Must Know

Why Warranties Aren’t Just Paperwork

Last winter, we got a panicked call from a Signal Hill homeowner in Calgary—their storm door warranty was denied because of “improper installation.” The door had been installed by a handyman only 18 months earlier. Horror stories like this are why we always stress: warranties aren’t just paperwork, they’re your protection plan.

And here’s what the manufacturers will not tell you: up to 70% of warranty claims are refused not because of product failure, but because of installation issues. That uninsulated foam gap or out-of-square frame? That’s your warranty flying out the window.

Calgary’s Climate: The Real Warranty Test

Remember that wild temperature swing last February? Calgary went from -30°C to +15°C in 48 hours. Add our infamous hailstorms (we average five per year) and those 120 km/h chinook winds—your storm door goes through what would make Vancouver or Toronto doors cry for mercy.

That’s why a warranty backed by professional installation isn’t a luxury in Calgary—it’s a requirement.

A Real Calgary Story: When Warranties Save the Day

Last spring, during that brutal hailstorm that hit the northwest, one of our Tuscany clients had their storm door glass completely shattered.
Because we’d properly recorded their professional installation and registered the warranty immediately, the manufacturer covered everything—no fuss.
Their neighbour (who’d gone with a do-it-yourself installation) is still fighting for coverage six months later.

👉 That’s why Glarior does warranty registration for all customers—it’s an easy step that makes a huge difference when you need it.

The “Set It and Forget It” Warranty Protection Plan

Sleep better knowing your storm door is covered? Here’s our insider checklist:

  • ☑ Photograph during installation — before, during, after
  • ☑ Register within 30 days — set a phone reminder now
  • ☑ Keep the “door file” — receipt, warranty, installer information all in one place
  • ☑ Do the “spring check” — yearly quick inspection each April for wear
  • ☑ Use common sense — don’t slam it, force it, or modify it
  • ☑ Let professionals do repairs — DIY repairs can void everything

💡 Pro tip from our installers: Snap a photo of your warranty documents and email them to yourself with the subject line “Storm Door Warranty.” You’ll thank yourself later.

Your Warranty Questions, Answered

What if hail cracks my glass next summer?

Most warranties don’t include acts of God like hail. But here’s the insider’s secret: your homeowners insurance typically does. At Glarior, we help clients with both warranty and insurance claims as required.

I'm handy—can't I just put it in myself?

Sure can. But here’s the deal: 90% of manufacturers require professional installation to qualify for warranty. Is saving $300 worth jeopardizing a $2,000 door?

How long do these warranties really last?

Frame: 10 years to lifetime

Hardware: 1–5 years

Glass: 1–3 years

At Glarior, we add our lifetime labour warranty on top—because we stand behind our work.
