Silicone the outer edge before install to keep water out

@TexasLawyer313 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much. First time homeowner and I am still a single gal. A handy man quoted me over $700 to replace these. Nope! I knew it couldn’t possibly be that expensive, but I assumed he would have to take the doors off. Wow. I am smarter thanks to you, and I am capable of doing this myself now that I am smarter 🥰🥰🥰

@DIYOnTheHouse 10 месяцев назад

I'm glad it helped. Try the NEXTDOOR website next time you need someone. It's referrals from neighbors, for contractors etc...

@kbryant3109 3 года назад

The weather stripping on my doors have all dry rotted on both the sides and the bottom. My late husband passed away 5 years ago and unfortunately I have no one who even seems to know anything about how to replace them. In my mind it didn't seem like a very difficult task but I didn't know where to start or what to do. I was too hesitant to rip off what was left hanging on them without knowing how to replace them. I have been looking at the sunlight coming in through the crack, feeling the cold air from winter blowing through and now feeling the warm air coming through and my AC going out. I decided that I was going to figure out how to do this myself so I found your video and could kick myself for waiting on someone else to do this for me! I can't thank you enough for taking the time to make this step by step video. Thanks to you not only are my doors secure now but I have confidence in myself that I can do anything I set my mind to do. I just needed the guidance that this video gave me! I'm so very thankful that I was lead here, my late husband never leaves my side ❤ Thank you again for helping me ❤

@DIYOnTheHouse 3 года назад

I am glad you did it! My philosophy Is, I can do it mess it up and learn, do it again cheaper than hiring someone. Sorry for your loss, I meet a lot of widows in our plumbing business that have to learn the things the husband took care of. It's great that you are doing it! Ross

@leedart 3 года назад

If you have a wood door make sure you silicone caulk the outside so that rainwater does not just seep in and sits on the door promoting rot.

@DIYOnTheHouse 3 года назад

That is GREAT advice - thank you!

@swissmiss221 2 года назад

How would you go about that? I’ve caulked the bottom of a shower and around a sink but not sure how to do it here. Thank you in advance.

@chef329 Год назад

Its a channel door sweep, I don't understand where you would be adding the caulking? Along the top edge of the sweep?

@enzprintco.8625 Год назад

@@chef329 it’s a “U” shaped piece. Water will run down the door and into the “U”. Caulk all along where the top of the “U” piece contacts the door.

@jlnriddick 2 года назад

Thanks so much for the video and all the details! Yes, it's simple, but now I know what to get, how to get it on the door, when to stop my pre-drilled holes, when to stop drilling in the screws (before dimpling) and how to trim the edge for the correct fit. I would have been guessing at all those factors, or just plain doing it wrong, so while it is a simple fix, you've prepared me to do it correctly! This is so appreciated... especially from this 65 yr old female! (No disrespect to older folks or females!) Thank you so much for sharing this video! Your explanations were extremely helpful! BTW, I have three other exit doors that also need the seals replaced. They're all steel doors, just more narrow. Will the same seal be fine for them as well, or do I need something different from a "front door seal"? Thank you again!

@DIYOnTheHouse 2 года назад

I'm glad you went for it! As far as the seal it should work, I would read in the description on the package. If you got it off amazon you are able to ask the seller of the product questions and they should let you know. Thank you for watching!

The original seal gasket that fits into the grooves on the bottom of the door are readily available at Lowes and Home Depot. You have to take the door off the hinges, but I think it's a far better seal than the vinyl EZ U-seals.

@indianapolisindiana7856 2 года назад

@@swissmiss221 The "channel" he's referring to is the slot the screw goes in. Instead of having a little round hole for the screw, there is a slot, so you are able to make slight adjustments up or down without drilling a new hole. I guess if somebody did not leave enough room to adjust it down, they could also use a drill bit or Dremel to lengthen the slot a little.

Does anybody know what to do if you install one of those u-channel door sweeps and trim it so if fits the door, BUT, after installing it, the door then doesn't close. I tried to trim the rubber off the bottom with a knife but it just doesn't work. The door still refuses to shut. I'm not seeing any RU-vid videos available about how to solve this problem.
