How to Replace Exterior Door Weather Stripping | Seal Out Bugs, Water & Air

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video, I finish making this 30+ year old exterior door, better! In a previous video, I replaced the door's threshold but still needed to replace a few more parts. The threshold was a great improvement but changing the door sweep helped close the gap of where a mouse previously chewed through. I also switched out the weather stripping and tightened the door catch to make sure it was as tight as possible. These are easier home repairs that can help make a huge impact!

    This was outstanding information for me. The hole lock to my garage door lets so much air through its frustrating. Thank you so much for showing me I can adjust the connection by loosening the screws and tapping, whatever that’s called, over for a tighter fit.

    This reminds me of my current "accumulation of small projects" that really add up over time. Now, since I'm near the end of my list of things to be done, I feel I need to look at the front door weather stripping since it's 20 years old. So far the hardest part of my home improvement endeavors has been tricking the wife into thinking that my paint color choices are her idea. Two rooms down, only seven more to go....

    If you have magnetic be careful the weatherstrip was pin nailed in to prevent it from shrinking so go behind the weatherstrip with a putty knife and break the nails off if not you can split out the jamb. Make sure the weatherstrip is off the threshold so it doesn’t wick up water. You should caulk over the top of the riser with silicone before install your pad at the bottom of the jamb.

    Excellent demonstration, as all your videos are. When my 2 new exterior doors were installed, they were pre-hung, so the weather stripping was already installed. They did not come with the 2 squares to add to the bottom, that I can remember. On my front door, there is a small gap at the bottom. The next trip to Lowes, I will look for those. Thank you. I saw a couple of videos where owners insulated their metal garage doors with thin panel sheets of styrofoam. Will you be insulating yours also? TY

    I need some guidance from my favorite KZread Fixer lol I have an old door that the previous people took off of one of the bedrooms and was left outside...idk because they're dumb I guess? Anyways the door it's self isn't warped and still in pretty good shape just needs cleaned up, sanded and etc but it has a split in on the bottom panel a couple inches from the hinge area and it is probably about 9 inches in length from what appears to be a big nail hole (the kind used for shingles maybe? Idk but they're big nails and they put them all around the door 😒 to attach it to something I guess.) and im wobdering if i can do ahead and clean up the door and, repaint it, install it and it would be fine or some glue or something? Idk but it's an original door to the house as far as I know and I want to keep it. Help? Lol

    Is there supposed to be a gap between the door stop and the frame? Or does the weatherstripping force its way between? I'm going to be rebuilding my frame and hanging a new door soon.

    These KZreadrs don’t care. Once they get enough subscribers to make some money, they stop responding to questions. On the other hand, the question should be directly relevant to the video. It’s not the KZreadr’s job to be your personal tutor.

    I absolutely do care and respond to A LOT of comments. As many as I can. I do not have a huge team of people, I am the one responding to comments and every minute I spend doing so is a minute I am not spending on creating more content, which is what I feel people really want. If someone unsubscribes because I don't respond to them then I feel they don't care much about my content anyway. 🤷🏻‍♂️
