Review on Enhanced Basement Door Weather Stripping Kit by Ryan Fuhrer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy install: HVAC

Easy install on a 25 year old Bilco basement door. The kit contained a sufficient amount of material; left a few feet of U-shaped seal and almost a foot of lug seal. There is metal in the bulb socket, so metal snips came in handy. Installing the U-grommet behind each hinge was the only tricky part - the video skips that. I found it helpful to use a rubber mallet to press the lamp cover in place. I wish the lid seals were a bit longer as there is a small gap - hence 4 stars instead of 5. Installation took about 15 minutes and appears to have prevented the occasional cricket from entering the basement.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something
