Thank you! I have a 120-year-old house along the coast with a front door that faces the prevailing wind. This video gave me the confidence to give it a shot and do it myself!

Hey there, glad I could help! This type of kerf style weather stripping is incredibly effective at sealing drafts that are coming in around doors. And even better you can make it work with doors that old and crooked, warped, etc. Andy

Good video! Is there also a good solution for the floor side of the door? Tx!

Hi Hubert thanks for responding, yes there is. It is installing a rubber door sweep. I will be creating that follow up video in the next week or so and then uploading it along with our other solutions. Thanks! Andy

How wide is this and what name brand is it, so I can buy it.

Hi Kathy, this is a link on amazon for the exact weather stripping kit. It is also sold at home depot's near us. It is called an Aluminum Kerf, Door Set Weatherstripping set. The exact dimensions are in the product listing. But this will effectively bridge a gap up 1" inch. (which would be huge, but it would work) www.amazon.com/Frost-King-VA38W-Aluminum-White/dp/B00J9Q2QIU/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3M4OIFXRDO19N&keywords=Aluminum+Kerf%2C+Door+Set+Weatherstripping+frost+king&qid=1686158976&sprefix=aluminum+kerf%2C+door+set+weatherstripping+fros%2Caps%2C560&sr=8-3 Hope this helps!

The problem with this type of seal is that now you will scrape your knuckles when using the door knob.

Haven't personally had this issue with this type of weather stripping.

@@insulwiseenergycomfortsolu3293 It decreases the distance between the knob and trim now. My brothers house this type of repair and I left flesh on the trim more than once when turning the knob....
