How to install a garage door seal

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

There was an uneven gap under one of the garage doors and I needed to seal and close the gap. After a few searches on the internet I found the perfect product on eBay.
I paid the full price for this product and the supplier has no idea that I am making this video.

    Thank you for solving the question of direction for installation. Not one video I've watched has explained why or shown this and many are installing it opposite to how you are. KZread, full of homeowners with little clue. Your explanation makes complete sense. The package of the model I ordered from the U.S. (I'm in Canada) comes with no instructions either, lol. Thank you! Thumbs up.

    Installed a similar product last year. Well worth the money, time and effort. When installed correctly, it will keep out leaves, seeds and dribbles of water (that run off the garage door, or not collected by an exterior drain). It needs careful installation particularly if there are plates/bolts on the floor (forming part of the door frame). The seal should be fitted to hug the base of the door (not necessarily in a dead straight line), this will compensate for undulations in the garage floor.

    I did a very similar type of job but used a 3” x 1” treated timber, from a fencing yard. I bedded it down onto silicon then screwed it all down with 2” brass countersunk screws, laid a strip about 1/2” wide of silicone in front of that covered with a strip of polythene on top, then I lowered the door down onto it and left it overnight. The next morning I pealed the polythene off which left a very smooth surface for the door to make contact with. My door is only 7’6” wide, and the whole thing only cost me under £10 and is very effective. I did this 2 years ago and it has been water and wind proof ever since.

    I had already done something simlar to you but I wanted a waterproof and durable long term solution. Even treated timber that is allowed to get wet from time to time will deteriorate. I used Iroko where the floor ends but feel much happier with the garage door seal. I want mine to last 20 years minimum. Cheer. Peter

    Looks like a quality product. Living in snow country, the main concern I have that precludes me from installing something like this is that water coming off of a vehicle (such as accumulated snow/ice) which would normally drain from the sloped garage floor to the outside passing under the door would have a dam preventing it from leaving except for the areas at the ends of the strip.

    If it was me, I'd choose to mask off the drive area next to the rubber seal with duct tape. That way the sealant can be applied liberally near the edge where it's most likely to lift. Peel the duct tape away, and it's a nice clean line and secured right up the the edge. I'm certainly looking at something like this myself as the gap below my garage doors are much larger and they are of the up-and-over type. I'd also say that there isn't much doubt which way it is orientated with that sort of door either.

    If you installed the piece the other way around - with the door landing on the gradual slope of the piece, not the shallow (thin) part - then you could push the middle 2/3 farther toward the street, so as to eliminate the larger gap in the middle two thirds of the door. In other words, with the alternative orientation of the piece, you can control the effective thickness of the piece, to match the varying width of the gap under the door

    I understand what you mean and that should work. In my case the gap, near the middle, was almost the same as that thinner section. I have a compressible sealing strip attached to the underside of my doors (they came like that) and so that can now compress down across the complete width of the door and form a perfect seal. Peter

    And you have to remember not to trip over the raised edge when entering or leaving the garage ,.plus it is more difficult to sweep out the garage floor of dirt and debris because the raised lip is there. Particularly important here in Canada with all the salt, grit and ice/ snow that will drop on your garage floor. Sorry, but for me a door bottom edge seal is a no brainer.

    Great video as always Peter, I love your garage door, looks insulated. What brand is it? I am building a small workshop of my own and I was thinking about this problem before I seen this video. I am going to pour a self leveling compound about 2 inches thick and I was going to let it float right upto the garage door when closed with a thin board between them. As the inside floor will be higher than the original garage floor where the garage door closes I hope that will solve this problem.

    Hi Bob, I had a similar problem with the rubber at the bottom of my door not quite meeting up across the whole length. What I have found is that the shape of the garage door seal allows a greater gap closing range between the existing rubber at the bottom of the door and the seal. I think that it should work fine. Do get it positioned (fore and aft) for the best fit to your existing door. Good luck. Peter

    Hi Karmina, The sticky stuff that comes with the kit should be able to fill the gaps if the base is uneven. If it is seriously uneven then you may need to do something else but I had a lot of the sticky stuff left over at the end. Also, the rubber is quite bendy on its thinner sections and so will be able to dip down into some of the gaps. Good luck. Peter
