12/26/18 <br />Product Guide <br />Interior and Exterior Doors (JPG013) <br />4 <br />Door Sweep (Inswing Doors Only) <br />The door sweep is mounted on the bottom of the door slab and fills the <br />gap between the threshold and the slab. Due to continual contact with <br />the threshold, the door sweep may lose its shape and cease to provide an <br />effective seal. <br />1. Remove slab. <br />2. Lay slab on flat padded <br />work surface. <br />3. Remove staples in door <br />sweep with needle nose <br />pliers or side cutters. <br />4. Pull door sweep loose by <br />starting at one end and <br />working to the other. <br />5. Clean old sealant off rail <br />with putty knife. <br />6. Trim new door sweep <br />to same length as the <br />existing one. <br />7. Cover face (the side with the barbs) of new door sweep with <br />silicone sealant. <br />8. Work attachment barbs into kerfs from one end of the panel to <br />the other. <br />9. Secure sweep to the door panel with staples and wipe off sealant <br />squeeze-out. Seal the sweep on both ends with silicone sealant. <br />Reinstall slab. <br />Ordering new Weatherstrip <br />Weatherstrip gaskets and foam wedges are critical to water and air <br />infiltration control. Check placement and quality of weatherstrip. Replace <br />if damaged. <br />Fire-rated doors require specific weatherstrip. Please contact us if replacing <br />weatherstrip in a fire-rated door. <br />Doors will have weatherstrip in the frame where the slab(s) are when <br />normally closed. Some doors have a sweep attached to the bottom of the <br />operating panel where it contacts the threshold. Double doors will have <br />weatherstrip in the astragal. <br />1. Determine amount needed by measuring each piece to be replaced. <br />Note the location on the door of each type of weatherstrip. <br />2. For each type of weatherstrip, add all measurements, then add an <br />additional 10%. <br />3. Round up to the nearest foot. <br />4. Fill out the following table. <br />5. Purchase new weatherstrip from a local supplier. <br />Frame/Threshold/Astragal/Mullion Weatherstrip <br />When replacing both <br />the side and the head <br />weatherstrip in the frame, <br />install head weatherstrip first. <br />Astragal weatherstrip runs <br />vertically along the astragal <br />(between the two slabs of <br />double doors). <br />1. Open active panel. <br />2. Grip weatherstrip and <br />gently pull out of kerf. <br />When replacing frame <br />weatherstrip, if applicable, <br />trim and overlap the new <br />weatherstrip in the same way <br />as the old weatherstrip. <br />1. Cut new weatherstrip <br />to length. <br />2. Work the attachment <br />barb into the kerf from <br />one end to the other. <br />WEATHERSTRIP REPLACEMEnT <br />Information for Replacement Weatherstrip <br />Product Identification <br />Weatherstrip Location <br />Weatherstrip Type <br />Color <br />Amount Needed <br />Threshold <br />Door <br />Sweep <br />Head <br />weatherstrip <br />Side jamb weatherstrip <br />possible Weatherstrip locations on Double Doors
