My garage door currently has a bottom seal attached to the bottom of the door. Can I use the threshold in stead of that seal or do I need to replace both the bottom seal that is on garage door as well as install a threshold seal?

I placed the threshold so it comes up to the stripping I have on the door. It doesn't make the best seal and I am considering getting a different bottom seal.

You have to drill 2 holes into the floor and then 2 pins drop in there to hold it. The pins are shipped with the ramp. We screwed a board to the wall under the doorway and drilled the holes in that. That way when we remove the ramp when we no longer need it there aren't any holes in the threshold and the board will be easy to remove.

The bottom of garage doors have a gasket that shapes itself into a u shape; either edge fits into a slot and causes it to belly out. It isn't good enough for rain, which flows right under it. When you put this down you get a solid seal against outside weather and everything stays dry. I do have to say that their adhesive gave up after only two years; I cleaned it and put it down with Liquid Nails and silicone; it won't budge, even if you kick it. And adjust the travel in your garage door opener. There's a hole in the side that has arrows to tell you whether you're going lower or coming up higher. Easy adjustment.

Hi Greg,It's true that this garage door seal appears in shape to be similar to a car's 'lower lip'. However the material the garage seal is made from a material feels much less durable than the original equipment material of the 'lower lip'. It feels like a dense foam rubber. Once attached to your car, if the seal rubbed on a concrete parking lot curb, I suspect the seal would tear.

Try checking out this youtube link regarding replacing the seal. It should help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_ePvpfAkAc

I installed mine with the slanted lip out and facing the ground. I also installed a storm shield threshold-highly recommend. Consider running a bead of black caulk to seal the crevice between the edge of the garage door and the seal (Water can get in-between and if you have a wood garage door it will rot the wood).

Any door. It is excellent! A hint: After installing it, if it does not close completely for, example, to prevent rain from coming into the garage, adjust the closing strength on the garage door closer. It is easy.

Yes. Leave the door in a closed position and screw the strip to the sill so it just contacts the door all of the way around the door (except the bottom) and you will have an effective seal

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.

This garage door "bottom seal" only works on garage doors that go "up and down". Will not work for "sliding, barn door style" or "swinging" garage doors.

Order this part, and call a qualified garage door expert. It's too difficult for me to install it, and I can fix anything! I'm glad I called an expert, because the worm screw was only the symptom. The real problem was the warn rollers on the track, that were needing replacement. causing undue drag on the Chamberlain.Now my opener and tracks are so quiet !

Hello, We do carry a garage door bottom seal that is similar to this. Unfortunately due to the size it is not a shippable product and only available in stores. thanks Maria Kukkula Customer service

Sounds like you bought wrong width seal. I would probably pack it up and order one that fits my door. The virticle part goes on outside of door. The flat bottom part is where the rubber seal slides onto.

Yes, my minor issue was that my insulated garage door was too thick. Easy install on any thin door. Great product.

I would think so. The threshold sits on the floor in my utility room, but there is roughly a 3 inch drop to the garage floor on the other side.

we installed the garage strip under the door, so when the door is down it's under the weather striping on the door to make a good seal.

My old switch was open in the normal installation. With a multi-meter I found the switch was also open when inverted. I found that the switch would make contact somewhere in the middle, but not neither in the top of bottom. New switch is a must if you have condensate (high humidity) situation. The new switch is pretty inexpensive and a worthy purchase. Buy two when you do to have an extra on hand.
