We are trying to replace the storm door. Well my husband, being mr. fix it that he is drilled about 12 holes in the side of the door to connect it to the frame...all of which are the wrong measurements. And now the fram is bent too. Should we just scrap the door and start over, or can it be saved? Also, any tips on installing it before he ruins something else?

sounds like he is pretty good at what he does,, so saving the door may be tough,,, the frame can be straightened if you have a couple of 2xs ,,one to lay the frame on and one to put on top and hammer,,,just go slow and you can fix it
drill the holes where they belong,(if all else fails, find the instructions) and put screws in the "pre drilled "holes

you can order new frame i am assuming it is a new door get on the web or go back where you bought it you do not have to scrap the door just get the frame i have ordered parts for doors be for hope it is a good brand if cheepy might not be abel to get just the frame but i think you can might want to get a pro to install good luck

A new door will have to be your call. The next time get one that is prehung then all you have to do is level it up and run in the provided screws into the predrilled holes.
Good luck with it.
