Can this weatherstripping be used for the sides of doors? If so, I assume it is installed on the doorframe with the screw side facing the closing door?

The door I mounted mine to is a little different. It swings out to open. It has a beveled opening similar to a freezer door that I designed for a small greenhouse. I mounted it on the inside of the door with the screw mounting on the inside of the door. The screw mounting holes come notched so that it will allow for a little adjustment after being mounted. I think it could be mounted in several ways including as you mentioned. I have had it up for a year now and it looks as good as when I installed it. It holds up well and provides an excellent seal.

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

This weatherstrip actually comes in three pieces, one for each side and another for the top. It mounts on the outside of the door frame with the foam strips just touching the door when closed.

Just want to affirm that Joe's answer is exactly right. The screw side would actually not be facing the door. The foam side would face the door.

I used it on the door that goes to my basement with no issue. I didn't think it was made for exterior doors to begin with.

if this door knob is the only source of locking the door then no you can't But if your using it with a deadbolt and you don't want to be locking two things like me then yes you can use it for a exterior door

I have weather stripping on my doors and it does not interfere with the door. You may find that the door closes a little harder or tighter than normal but shouldn't interfere other than that.

I believe the design is to place it on the glass. I do not believe it would work on the side of the window due to the window track that raises the window. The item folds flat to let the window riise when it is on the glass. I think this would slow down someone who is trying to jam the lock ion the window. Should someone be able to open the lock form the outside, he would still be unable to raise the window. I believe it would slow down someone trying to come in through a window. Placed in the corner of the window, it is not that noticeable.

I've only used it on an inside door, but I think that if the door you wish to use it on is smooth enough on the surface, it should be possible. However, rain, wind and weather would wear on it, so I think it wouldn't last as long on an outside door. The most important thing, though, is to apply it to as smooth a surface as possible.

I would say yes to exterior side of door or the side that you want it to be more visible. I have it on the inside of the window but we can also see it from the outside just as well. You will get a feel of the "texture" on the right side of the film. The other side is flat and smooth.

Works grest in our application, which is a door from house to garage. Not sure if it would work as well facing a high wind.

It's a Contact brand product. Have you contacted them? We installed it on the inside of an exterior door and have had no problems with the temperature fluctuations, condensation, etc. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Worst that happens is you end up removing it, which is simple enough.

I would say that your door design does not meet the requirements to install this system and any attempts to tape it would end with hanging pieces of insulation panels and a waste of time. Answer: "Not going to work for your particular door" I hope this was helpful... Tom

I used it on an external door and lasted about a week. Sticky strip was not good for outside use. If you need onefor outside use on door, get one that screws onto bottom of door.

No, it's for steel doors. It has a magnet on each end. there are sticky's on each end, but I highly doubt it would be as secure as it would if the magnets were in use. Sorry, I know, I also have another door that is fiberglass, so I opted for the rain glass when I ordered it, so I wouldn't have to ruin the fiberglass, with a curtain rod for a small curtain.

I have used several different doors in the past of a similar style. I have always in the past used them as a semi-permanent solution and I believe that it is possible to do the same with this door. I have actually made this installation permanent as I have mounted the panel on the stationary side of the door. It was suggested tibdi this as an alternative solution and Iam happy iI did it that way. Just be aware that if you mount it on the siding side or the stationary side you are lossing pass thr space

Yes...we used it on three exterior doors, which open inward. Just choose the color carefully, as it is slightly visible from the outside (but not from the inside).

I use it on an outdoor screen door though it's on the inside of the door, exposed to the weather through the screen. The one I replaced (same model) was on the door when we bought the house 10 years ago, and was probably original (house built 25 years ago).

bottom bracket should be on inside of door while weather seal goes on bottom and outside of door

Yes. I installed mine in a steel door. The installation is the same as it is for a wooden door. The only complaint I have about this product is the magnets that hold the flap closed aren't strong enough. Wind in excess of about 20 mph will blow them open.
