The product, in the report: Storm door
(03/12/2026) The consumer stated that the storm door has a hydraulic cylinder at the top. The door has so much pressure that it pushes against your body. The consumer had put the cylinder in the lock position. While he was standing outside to get it out of the lock position, the door pulled the mounting screws out which caused the door to fall toward the consumer. When he jerked to the right to get out of the way of the door, his thumb caught on the door handle. It also caused the consumer to tear a muscle in his rotator cuff.
The incident required medical attention.

The product, in the report: Storm doors (mixture of glass and aluminum)
He contacted the mfr. to have them install the doors.
After they were installed the consumer said that the door sweeps were too sharp and present a laceration hazard. The aluminum door sweeps could cause his grandchildren to be severely injured.
The consumer called the dealer and the installer to discuss his concerns numerous times. Finally, the consumer was sent replacement door sweeps, which the installed applied to the door. However, the consumer said that the replacements were identical to the original ones. He asked the installer to file them down, but that person said he could not because it would voice the warranty. The consumer said he would file them down himself and the installer said the could would then voice the warranty. The door sweeps protrude approximately 1/2’” and could catch someone’s ankle, if a person opens the door.
(early 6/2024): The consumer wrote comments in the warranty section of the manufacturer’s site and included pictures, but never received a repy.

The product, in the report: Aluminum storm door
Ordered Larsons highview tradewinds aluminum on 10/11/23 received 11/6/23, easy enough to install. Nice looking door, but has a major safety problem. The bottom part of has a 1”x1 ½ “ opening with no cover. If your door is open a child can cut their hand/fingers because it is aluminum with sharp edges. Contacted Lowe’s who contacted Larson who said “no problem due it is not sharp” which is incorrect. I have a picture. Item number in Lowe’s is 913279. Lowe’s said can not return as it is installed. No safety problem until it is installed.

2015 The consumer received entry doors through the “Residential Sound Insulation Program” program and she has experienced issues with them.
Three of the doors were interior doors and 3 exterior doors are connected to them.
The doors also have windows which can slide up and down. Due to the weight of the windows in the doors, the consumer cannot lift them up. Additionally, they can fall down unexpectedly and injure a person. She said that her neighbors have experienced issues with the door windows falling down unexpectedly and it presents a potential safety hazard
(date unknown) The consumer became locked out of the side door of her home, because she said that the locking mechanism slipped. Her neighbor had to break into her home to let her back in. She said that as a result of this incident, it presented a safety hazard.

The product, in the report: Storm door with glass and screen
The consumer owns apartment buildings and one of tenants informed him about this problem.
The tenants 4 year old female child was able open the storm door and push up the safety latch. When the door closed behind her, it was locked. Therefore, the child was not able to get back in. The tenants child was outside for an unspecified amount of time, but there was no injury. The tenant damaged the door to unlock it. The consumer does not have any additional details at this point and the tenants have moved to a different place. It is unknown how the child was being supervised at the time this happened.
The consumer was not aware of the incident, until the tenant paid their rent.
These particular storm doors do not have a key. One side of the frame would have to be removed in order to unlock the door.
The consumer owns 11 of these doors and he sees the potential for this to happen with other doors, because these doors are not designed to be used with keys. They can only be locked and unlocked from the inside of the home.
(1/10/14) The consumer called the firm, Tel: 800-375-6507; www.larsondoors.com and shared his concern about this issue. The rep. placed the consumer on hold and went and checked one of these doors in their inventory. The rep. came back and indicated that this is the way these doors are designed and there is nothing they can do about this. Nothing else transpired.

The product, in the report: Larson Screen Away Storm Door Model: 346-52E Serial Number: 34652102.121080430
On June 16, 2011, my 6 year old daughter was seriously injured on our Larson Screen Door. She was using the door properly. She had gone out the screen door and as it shut behind her, it sliced across the back of her leg, just above the ankle. This caused a serious laceration, slicing all the way through the skin and all the muscle, all the way to the achilles tendon. The tendon was completely exposed and the tendon was also damaged as well. Because of the severity of the injury and the damage to the tendon, her ankle had to be immobilized for four weeks. The first two weeks were spend in a half cast and on crutches. The next two weeks were spend in a medical boot. The laceration resulted in eleven stitches and a 2 inch scar. Although the scar does not sound big, my daughter is very small, and so the two inch scar literally runs from one side of her leg to the other. When the injury was viewed from the side, the slice through her leg ran about a quarter of the way through the leg. The night of the incident, she was rushed to the emergency room and treated there. For her follow-up care, she was treated by an orthopedic surgeon.
The screen door has a protective rubber edging along the INSIDE bottom edge, to protect against the inside of the screen hitting the leg. The OUTSIDE corner of the bottom metal edging has a sharp pointed corner. This outside corner is what caught my daughter’s leg as it swung closed. This corner comes to a sharp point, there is no rubber edging and the corner is not rounded. It cut through my daughter’s leg like a knife.
