Door Sweep Installation Guide
For Entry Doors and Garage Doors
Install brush weather stripping in 5 easy steps
1. Measure the bottom of the door.
2. If your door is wider than stock brush weatherseal, cut the brush and holder to length and splice together.
3. Pry open the ends of the holder with a screwdriver.
4. Insert the brush into the holder and peen both ends of the holder with a hammer to lock the brush in place.
5. Mount the seal by holding the aluminum flange to the door bottom
while aligning brush to the proper fit. Then secure
with self-drilling
screws provided. Slotted holes allow for easy adjustment for
the perfect fit.
Tips
• Cut Brush with diagonal cutting pliers, shears or bolt cutters. Cutting action must pinch ends closed to seal in filaments.
• Cut Holder with hack saw, power saw (with metal cutting blade), or angle iron shear.
• Mount Sweep so brush just touches floor or top of threshold.
• Splice the Brush when door dimensions exceed
stocked weatherseal lengths. To splice the brush and
holder, put 2 or more pieces together by staggering the
brush and holder
joints.
