Review on πŸšͺ M-D Building Products 5090 Aluminum Door Sweep DV-1, 36-Inch, Silver, Standard Fin by Joseph Elvis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Keeps you cold.

Bought two of these for the old hallway doors in my house. The rooms weren't heated, so cold air crept out of the crack under the door. I ordered a size close enough to the width of the door (longer than the width of the door). These old doors are not standard sizes. We arrived with no problems. I removed the rubber fin and cut the metal to the width of the door, then pushed the fin back in and installed it. The setting was found. I aimed my fins at the room. I didn't make sure it was level, just that it was level with the floor so the door opened easily and it was as close to the floor as possible. I drilled the pilot holes and installed the end screws first and then moved to the center. They work exactly as you would expect. I had an issue with a door where the floor was so uneven it was impossible to install a sweeper without wedging the door. In this case I was just trying to get it to the ground as hard as possible with a clean swing and I had to put a towel in the remaining gap. NOT a product defect, just note that large uneven gaps will not be leveled.

Pros
