Posted: Fri Jul 02, 2010 10:09 am Post subject: Door Seals

For those that went the McMaster door seal route…..

 

I just put the seals on for the first time.  As many else have experienced, a perfect fitting door is no longer perfect fitting after putting on the seals.   The door is sitting proud only on the top of the door.    Once I put the hinges on the door, will compression remedy this issue or will I need to figure out another solution?

 

I also have the problem at the bottom of the door where there is a gap on the forward section of the door.  That should just be a straight forward solution of building the rain gutter back up until it’s flush along the entire bottom.

 

Thanks,

 

bob

Bob;



I had to cut mine back some, in fact I had to drop the edge down about 

1/4 "" to make it work. You're just about done.....  .

You need to get that bulge up top resolved if you don’t it  will impact the bottom of the door. I ended up sanding (a whole lot since I have  the Vans seals) to get the top more flush once I did that my doors closed and I  worked from there. Having the hinge force it down a little may be fine but I  would fix it so that it really is minimal and without much  resistance

 get the door to fit first than take care of the gaps  everywhere.

 Best of success

Did not affect fit, works great.  These are expensive……but…..no sanding…

Please forgive me if this information has been posted elsewhere on this forum. I'm wondering if anyone has applied the door seals to the openings or "jams" themselves as opposed to on the door. And if so...can you suggest a specific seal or manufacturer? Thanks in advance.

If you look at the posts over the past couple of weeks you will find

everything you need to know. McMaster Carr seals seem to be the seal of

choice - and they do mount on the door frame and not the door.

Thank you Les. I missed the posts somehow on the first go around. Great info on the posted document. Looks like McMaster Carr seals are the way to go. Will have to do some retro fitting but will make it work. Thanks again.
