Pemko Automatic Door Bottom,3/8x36 in,Aluminum 4131CRL36-1 Each

The floor inside the house was not even, so the door has to have a 1/2" gap. With this door bottom, the problem is solved by adding an accessory with a great appearance and a good and simple technology. When I saw it first after opening the package, I repacked it back and almost returned it. It looked like it wouldn't work properly when installed. But then I realized that both sides had to be flush and I made a simulation at a small distance from a flat surface (it could be any floor as well), and the product worked excellently. After installation, what I could see was that the product worked as it did in the simulation, and hopefully, it will continue that way for a long time. It is important to be extra careful not to cut too much. I needed a piece with 34 3/4" to fit perfectly in the door, but first I cut it with around 35 3/8" to check if the cut was going to come out OK. I used a grinder with a thin disc for metal to cut but probably a miter saw with a normal or trim blade would do an easier and more accurate job. The cut has to be super precise with less than 1/16" of error if possible. That is why is important to cut it bigger and even sandpaper the last 1/16" to make sure there is the least possible gap. Putting a piece of wood or something else on top of the door bottom to guide where the miter saw will cut will help to get the exact cut every single time as well. My first review was on February 21st of 2021. The product is excellent. It only had a little problem once atthebeginning, because I put it to tight. I adjusted and it never failed or didn't work properly again. And stays like new. Some wd-40 now and then will help as well.

My storage room door in our condo garage had a gap under it that I couldn't seal (to protect from small critters) because of the unlevel floor. This took care of the problem. My storage room door opens into my storage room, so this mounts on the outside of the door and is as unobtrusive as the cheap non-adjustable plastic door bottoms that others use here. With this door bottom installed, I was able to lay some cheap carpet on the storage room floor. Because this door bottom immediately pops up to door bottom height as the door is opened, it clears the carpet inside the room, and drops to seal the bottom of the door when it's closed. Installation is easy, but only after the Door Bottom is trimmed to fit. My recommendation if you've never installed on of these before: Read the instructions. Read the instructions again. Measure twice. Measure twice more. Cut once (carefully). Once it's the right size, installation is simple. Overall, this shouldn't be a problem for a confident DIYer.

As others have stated, this is a faulty product. 1) The gasket does not drop evenly to make full contact with the floor. Only the side near the plunger drops and touches the floor. The other side stays retracted. I tried everything I could to get the other side to drop and it never did. 2) The end plate screws are awful and strip no matter what screwdriver you use 3) The instructions are awful DO NOT BUY. Now I have holes in my nice brand new door.

All this screws strip and can't get one to go in, run out of screws, I don't know where to get Extras, they should send 2 times the amount of screws that what you need or make better screws, I have used this drop down skirts for lon g time but I always find my self straggling with the screws, I hope they find a solution either better screws or send another of extras.

Pro- When adjusted correctly the drop seal works well Con - the screw that is supposed to keep the adjustment screw from backing out is so small as to be nearly impossible to screw into the bar. Con- The screws that come with the seal kit are not hardened, hence not very durable. Con- It would be nice to have more than 3 mounting holes.

It's a nice item to deal with the outside air coming thru thr bottom of the door. The quality is good. The closer works very nicely. It does what it's meant to do - keep outside air from coming into the house thru the bottom of the door.

New flooring in my entry way meant I needed a new weatherstrip for the bottom of my front door - one that would seal out the weather but clear the new tile and an area rug. This was fairly easy to install - it does have to be trimmed to size with a hacksaw (even for a standard 36" entry door.) I followed the directions and had no problem. It seals the gap below the door when the door is closed and clears the flooring when opened - just what I needed.
