I have lived in a few mobiles and am currently. There is a very good reason why mobiles doors open OUT. Storm/screen doors can be fit, but to actually substitute one for what exists will be a difficult search. Define security screen door. Certainly you can remove and reinstall the current door, but another usual thing about mobile doors is that the fit INTO the frame, by virtue of being small enough, yet have a LIP or added width all the way around that extends just outside of the frame dimensions. That might mean reconfiguring the frame as well. You can always install a regular pre hung exterior door, remove all that exists now and install the new. I just measured my back door and it’s 30 1/2 inches in the body,,, a 2-6 door, which I assume is pretty typical. Rev.
