Thank you so much. First time homeowner and I am still a single gal. A handy man quoted me over $700 to replace these. Nope! I knew it couldn’t possibly be that expensive, but I assumed he would have to take the doors off. Wow. I am smarter thanks to you, and I am capable of doing this myself now that I am smarter 🥰🥰🥰

The weather stripping on my doors have all dry rotted on both the sides and the bottom. My late husband passed away 5 years ago and unfortunately I have no one who even seems to know anything about how to replace them. In my mind it didn't seem like a very difficult task but I didn't know where to start or what to do. I was too hesitant to rip off what was left hanging on them without knowing how to replace them. I have been looking at the sunlight coming in through the crack, feeling the cold air from winter blowing through and now feeling the warm air coming through and my AC going out. I decided that I was going to figure out how to do this myself so I found your video and could kick myself for waiting on someone else to do this for me! I can't thank you enough for taking the time to make this step by step video. Thanks to you not only are my doors secure now but I have confidence in myself that I can do anything I set my mind to do. I just needed the guidance that this video gave me! I'm so very thankful that I was lead here, my late husband never leaves my side ❤ Thank you again for helping me ❤

I am glad you did it! My philosophy Is, I can do it mess it up and learn, do it again cheaper than hiring someone. Sorry for your loss, I meet a lot of widows in our plumbing business that have to learn the things the husband took care of. It's great that you are doing it! Ross

Thanks so much for the video and all the details! Yes, it's simple, but now I know what to get, how to get it on the door, when to stop my pre-drilled holes, when to stop drilling in the screws (before dimpling) and how to trim the edge for the correct fit. I would have been guessing at all those factors, or just plain doing it wrong, so while it is a simple fix, you've prepared me to do it correctly! This is so appreciated... especially from this 65 yr old female! (No disrespect to older folks or females!) Thank you so much for sharing this video! Your explanations were extremely helpful! BTW, I have three other exit doors that also need the seals replaced. They're all steel doors, just more narrow. Will the same seal be fine for them as well, or do I need something different from a "front door seal"? Thank you again!
@DIYOnTheHouse2 жыл бұрын

Instead of having a little round hole for the screw, there is a slot, so you are able to make slight adjustments up or down without drilling a new hole. I guess if somebody did not leave enough room to adjust it down, they could also use a drill bit or Dremel to lengthen the slot a little.
