can this be used for sides and top of garage doors openings?

Hi Richard, Dan (also in Indy) here. I purchased the product last summer and used it to replace all the vinyl on my RV. I don't think you'd have much luck using this in your application on garage doors. The vinyl has no ridging that would allow it to hold to a garage door short of using screws to attach it. Its designed to be squeezed in half and inserted into a channel where it pops up seal the channel. Hope this helps.

no, I do not think it would work very good, not made for that type of application

I don't know about that, but what I do know is this stuff shrinks like crazy. I started replacing trim on RV using it in Nov and by next May it had shrunk as much as an inch or so on the short runs. Much more on the longer pieces. I would NOT ever use it again. I tried to contact company but got no response.

I would say No. I know my garage doors use a prefabbed wood with a rubber flap seal, not sure of your configuration.

It is not weather strip trim. It is to use in the 1 inch wide aluminum trim strips on the outside of rv's. Doug

Richard,I don't think so. It only about a inch wide, very thin and not ridged. It is designed to be used on an RV or Travel trailer trim. I believe it does come in wider sizes but don't think it will take the ware and tare of being use on a garage door. Best bet for a garage door it purchase the strips that you can attach to the frame of the garage door and which are usually vinyl and have a rubber insert pressed into the vinyl strip. I have replaced my vinyl trim on my garage door and once installed it last for years and years..............Hope this helps.................Thanks for asking............ Richard,I don't think so.

I used the product on a garage door and it does help. It might work better on glass but won't look very good.

Hello Charlene. I would not use this in the Garage with the door closed all the way. I leave my garage door open about one inch. You need to have some air movement due to the CO2 from the exhaust.

Yes, if your doors are glass and not plastic. The company specifically recommends it on their website.

I don't see any problem with that if the door is thick enough. They also make one for thin doors like storm doors. For the one I used the thickness of the door needed to be at least 1.25 inches. Most garage doors have a thick frame with thin panels but some of the insulated ones are thick enough. I'm assuming that you're asking about the roll up door. If its just the entrance door it will be fine.

Absolutely. A razor blade or moderately sharp scissors will easily cut it. I cut it into 20x46" panels to insulate the inside of my metal garage door. Just one heads up: if you ever want to affix it to vinyl (say a vinyl coated metal garage door...) be sure to use vinyl adhesive. The other stuff won't work.

No, unless the door is slightly open. You can also open it all the way if you're worried about it. I had too much in it and the door wouldn't stay closed and noticed that there was a shadow in the corner but other than that it works fine.

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 does. This item when utilized with your garage doors bottom seal cures mostly all draft from the bottom. But often the draft is coming from around the top and top corners of your garage door.

I would imagine you would have to do some sort of seal on the trim around the door as well as the panels that this product covers. It is worth a try.

Yes, it would. It has stoppers for both sides of the door, and can be opened from either side.

Yes it can. It's installed in my garage door which is hollow. And yes, the flapcan be blocked by the piece of vinyl that comes with the door for that purpose.

I used this for a latch on a squirrel catapult. Not sure I am the right person to ask about use for doors.

I used it for a small opening as well. The screw used to keep it in place was a little snug but the ceramic flakes off as you turn it. It will work. Good luck!!

I use mine for a 3' opening and it works perfectly because the sides bend in to keep the gate standing. While it would stretch across your opening, I don't know how sturdy it would be w/o having the sides tilt in. If it were me, I wouldn't do it for the space that big.

As long as your garage has the locking bar that slide into the rails. Not sure of your set up, but I used the one i bought to lock my garage.

Could this be used on bottom of door instead of top/what do I use for this?
