I need this to fill the gap at the bottom of my door where the weather strip didn't do its job. Would I still be able to open the door?

No. It would either a) expand and fill the gap at the bottom, thus sealing the door, or b) create a strip of rigid foam that people would step on and ruin. This is for sealing a gap between two objects where movement is not intended.
882892
Probably not. This stuff REALLY expands. If you tried, you would probably have to do a LOT of cutting/removing excess over-spray.
882893
This stuff expands to about 5 times its size as it comes out of the can. I think you would have a big mess. If you are buying the one I bought, it comes out black.

I would not recommend it for a door. That is not what it is used for. It is used for filling in around rocks and other outdoor pond items. It expands a lot. I would go to the hardware store and ask what would work best for your particular situation. Hope this helps.

Use a "siliconized adhesive sealant" you can get from the hardware store or here on Amazon. That'll do the trick. That wording only, don't go for that "this is basically the same thing" crap. 28 year hardware store employee.

I'm sure you would have to trim the Great Stuff after it dried. That's a good idea, I think I'll try that around my garage walls. Thanks!!

It shouldn't. Just be sure that the door's cross bolt goes deep into a solid structure since that area collapses if weak when the door is banged hard to open a gap.

Should be fine! As you see in the photo the door doesn't start at the ground level.

Hi,actually I was not able to fit it into my door. There was a different strip installed before. So I ended up with just buying the old type strip.

Yes. It works for doors up to 2 inches thick. For a door thicker than that, they recommend also getting a "wall liner" piece offered by Cat Mate, which ensures a continuous tunnel (no gaps).

Yes, it will work because that is exactly what I did. The screws in my kit were plastic screws and you cut them to length after you install the door. The hard part is cutting the hole in the sheet metal of the storm door. I used an oscillating multi-tool with a metal-cutting blade to cut the hole.

I think so. I had quite a large hole in my front door and it worked. Did you measure the hole?

It would prevent the door from opening completely, but it's not designed for super thin doors. The gap is designed for doors over 1" in thickness. It does include a few small spacers (I don't recall the sizes) but they won't get small enough for a glass door. If you get creative with adding your own spacers, it may work.

It would work as long as there isn't a lot of detail on the door faces. All other surfaces would be okay.

yes that will work... it comes with a piece of material to fill the gap between the interior/exterior sections if the door is too thick. realistically, if you can fabricate a spacer of appropriate width, there is no limit to the thickness of whatever install you have. It is entirely possible to install it through a wall, cinderblock fence, etc.

the tension / spring of the closing mechanism is not so strong that the door not opened wide will automatically be closed. But that said, I don't think you could leave the door open with a 6 inch gap without some trials and adjustments

It will be close but better than it is now and less expensive than a new door. You might consider removing and reinstalling the door trim a bit closer to the door. In any case, don't install the product too tightly against the rest of the door or you will have difficulty closing the door completely.

No, definitely not.. the weather strip fits fine in the frame when the door is open.

Yes you can. BUT you have to install it very well not to have a slight opening/a crack, so to speak, that lets in cold air. Must be aligned perfectly which we couldn't quite achieve. So we wound up putting strips of clear weatherproof tape all down that crack which meant we can't slide open the door without tearing lose the tape. But, it is so convenient for the cats, we are living with a door that can't be open.

yes you can put a sweep on the bottom of the garage door plus the threshold and that sould give you a waterproof seal except for a driving rain that is almost horizonal and hardly anything can stop that. Good products from amazon solved my garage door problem

No, it will not. I epoxied mine but it did not hold. It's purpose is to keep the new door from breaking. It appears that it solves the problem.

I used this in a fairly tight spot with little room at the head of the door. If u have about 4" of trim above the door it should work
