Installation Options

Foam tape installs easily. Cut strips to length, peel off backing, and press in place on the inside of the stops.

Nail rolled vinyl stripping to stop faces. Align so the bulbous edge projects, as shown in the inset.

Nail spring-metal strips to the jamb inside the stop, fitting it carefully around the latch and lock mechanisms.

Interlocking metal channels form a good seal, but are tricky to align. Nail one part to door, other part to stop.

Metal J-strips seal best, but are the most difficult to install because you must rout a channel in the door.

Use insulated molding to seal the gap between double doors. Nail to the face of the door that's usually closed.
