Failure to provide a proper overhang, damage caused by direct rain exposure, damage caused by extreme temperature, either from direct sunlight and or installation of a storm door
In most climate conditions you need to have an overhang that extends at least half the distance of the height of your entryway.

For southern and western warm climates, wet climates or if your door will receive direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day, you should have an overhang that extends the full height and up to twice the distance of the height of your entryway.
Installing a storm door can cause extreme heat buildup from the sun or trap moisture depending on your environment. Upon inspection, if the installation of storm door caused damage to the door, that may void the warranty.
If proper flashing is not used including a sill pan and head flashing when recommended overhang is not met, this could void the warranty.
