Is it possible to replace a combination door on a mobile home w/ a regular front door and screen door?

LB83 asked:
I have a combination door now that is warped. Is it possible to remove the combination door and install a seperate front and screen door. I know that the combination includes the door jamb so I will have to frame another door jamb. Anyone ever done this?

Yes as long as you can have someone reframe the door to the dimensions of the new door.

You have to buy parts from a mobile home supply house. They are the only ones that will fit properly

You can do this but it takes a little preparation. You need to remove the door to check the rough opening. Rough Opening is the carpenter/lumber yard term for the hole size in the wall when the door and frame have been removed.
So take this measurement to the lumber yard with you to order the door. I can tell you the rough opening for a new standard type exterior door.
For a 2’8″ door ( lumberyards use the foot and inch term in talking about doors. This is called a (two eight), you need the rough opening in the wall to be 34″ wide and 82″ tall.
For a 3’0″ door (three 0 *like oh) you need 38″ width rough opening and 82″ tall. You will probably have a thinner wall thickness in your mobile home. If so let the new door stick inside further, and trim around it.If you want a knob and a deadbolt – tell them to double bore the door.
Also to order it hinged correctly – Put your back against the hinge side of the frame,(one of your legs in inside the mobile home the other is outside on the landing or the steps- now which ever side the door is on that is what hinge it will be. If door is on your left, it’s called a left hand door.
Note with little overhang on mobile homes it’s best to put a drip edge on the top molding of the door- you need to slip the drip edge up and under the siding above the door BEFORE you put the door in. Don’t fasten it in, just slip it up under siding, install door and pull drip edge down on top of door molding,screw and caulk siding back in place.
