Review on πŸšͺ M-D Building Products 36-inch U-Shape Door Bottom, 1-3/4 inch Width, Vinyl, Satin Nickel Finish by Christian Bennett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The product looks good and definitely contains a lot of material.

The product looks good and there is definitely a lot of material on the seal. That's great, but unfortunately didn't work on my interior floor. (I believe my scenario is rare and most others shouldn't have a problem). It is not so easy to completely stick the seal on the bottom of the door. I used soapy water and drew a lot. If you are inexperienced in installing it, it is probably best to install this door from below by removing the door from its hinges. Much easier to apply and taking care to cut the seal down the full length of the door. You can also find out if thermal expansion and contraction need to be considered. The seal stretched when I placed it at the bottom of the door and then shrunk back to its correct size after I applied it to the door. However, I didn't take the door off its hinges. I had crazy looking loops, the project was taking longer than expected and I had things to get done. Unfortunately, the tilers installed the tile too high in the doorway where the door swings open and this does not allow the door to open sufficiently when the door bottom is installed. I'm going to leave the bottom of this door on, remove the weatherstrip and have to buy a door sill with the weatherstrip installed instead. I can't cut the bottom of the door to allow the door to open fully. Then it is too short when closed and does not fit well on the door sill.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No performance
