If I cut 1" of the seal at the center of my door, will the seals on the L and R sides slide along the track or stay put?

Don't know for sure because I didn't do that, but my best guess would be that they would stay put, because the seal is really tight, and it really takes some effort just to slide it on.

it will stay ,i had to cut mine also .it did not actually fit my door so i had to trim the entire strip to fit where it slides in ,(that was just my door ) i then used clear silacone to make sure it did not slide ,u can also hammer the ends to stop slipping without any effect on door

yes,as long as you press the end of metal track after installing rubber seals in them.thks

Yes, the seal is a little tuff to get in. It's not going to move, if you have room leave a little extra rubber seal hang out at the end of the track.

While I agree with Mr. Ilecki as to the seal fitting under the garage door and that it is really a matter of adjusting your door's travel, using a machinist's rule, I found the thickest part of the cross section to be .5 inches. I installed this product last fall and am very pleased with it. It remedied the problem we had with a straight-edged door with a good seal installed, not being able to seal against an uneven garage floor in the area of the doors' sealing area. It has kept the rain and melting snow out and ended the problems with drafts.

If you recess it into the end jam; then also recess the plate onto its leading edge; preferibly on center and in the mid section of the slider ; providing that the sliding door is custum made and wide enough for the modification ; then the answer is yes. Otherwise the answer is no.

Normally there is a channel type of slot the seal slides into. Be careful to buy the type of seal that will fit into the type of slot on your door. Good Luck.

It is possible . If your were to place on the inside end of the door where the two overlap you could use the lock to catch the track. I wish there were a way to send you a diagram because i'm sure that doesn't help. Yes, it can be done simply but it depends on the depth of your door. The lock itself is great, I have two turning a closet into a gun cabinet.If the question is will it lock in place, YES; very securely.

Yes, all you have to do is move the stops in to accommodate the size door you are going to use. They move with the use of an Allen wrench. You may want to cut the railing shorter since the door will beSmaller than the designed length.

Hey yes we have two doors and I cut it to fit with no problem at all i also used rtv to seal the out side edge so that dirt dust and water didn't break down the glue. Been in place for about two years. On a side note clean the concert with a cleaner before application of glue and strip! Hmu if you have anymore questions!!

Well, there's a loose metal piece that fits on two grooves that serves the purpose of making a better fit on my door, which is only about an inch thick. I measured the over-the-door portion without the loose metal piece, and it's just over 1 3/4", so I would say yes, if you can finagle that piece off. Seems simple enough to do, IMHO.

Yes, definitely. Your only concern will be how to keep the sliding door you use "secure" when you are not at home. You can put a 1-1/2" dowel in the track, or even some of those sliding door locks from the hardware store, BUT if it is a wide pet panel, a thief an remove the panel and slip in. Fortunately mine is in a locked backyard, but we're working on that problem for my daughter's place, as her slider is more accessible to public.

It fits into the frame where your sliding glass door also resides. Your sliding door will no longer be able to close all of the way, it will rest up against this insert. We put additional weather stripping on the side of our door to make it "seal" better (some stripping comes with the door). Also, the locking latch on your door won't work anymore, so we use a large wooden dowel rod to "lock" the sliding door when we are away. It might sound like a pain, but we've been pretty happy with the door and how well it works for our dog.

No, they slide under the door. They fit any door and are easy to cut to fit. They just slide on the floor when you open it on either hard wood or carpet. They have lowered our electric bill enough to pay form them in two months.

From the bottom of the door to the bottom of the fins is 1/2 inch, I think you will need something a little longer to cover a 1/2 inch gap. You want the fins to "more" than just make it to create a seal.

I'm not sure if the end will slide off or not. If it does it could be cut down.

I do not understand what you meant by "where this product is screwed in". If there is a 1/4 inch gap beween the door and the door stop, this product will seal the gap, if you install it properly.

Yes. Some things to note. 1) You have to install the provided lock. I also put a rod in the door track just to ensure safety. 2) The door way shrinks by the width of the panel. May or may not be an issue depending on what you use the doorway for. Hope that helps.

On my door there is a channel attached to the bottom which holds this seal. Thus the reason for the angle on the seal itself. If you have a channel at the bottom of the door you would order a seal that is not "bent" that would hang straight down from the bottom.

I had this hardware installed by a handyman. We ordered a wider door (40"?) from Home Depot and it was 1-1/2" thick. The bottom track that comes w/this unit is for a door that's 1" thick (that's what handyman said), so we're going to use something else to keep bottom of door from swinging out. All in all, the track is great....really quiet and rolls easily.
