If your door has proper maintenance; then it should have even spacing all the way around. The door covers the opening to your garage; but there is still a small gap all the way around that is typically covered by weather stripping.

Call us to provide maintenance for your door!

This flexible rubber material flexes as the door opens and closes ;and forms a seal between the door and the door frame, thus limiting the amount of air-flow; in and out of the garage. Over time, this rubber can dry out and become brittle. Sometimes it has damage and can break if it is hit by a car, bicycle, lawnmower; or something else. In order to maintain the efficiency of the door; a replacing of damage weather stripping is important.

Replacement weather stripping can be purchased at most hardware stores or home improvement stores. It usually comes in brown or white, which are the two most popular garage door colors. The stripping comes factory with a plastic piece that can be nail directly to your existing garage door frame. Begin by carefully removing the existing weather stripping. Use a hammer or a pry bar to pull out the nails. Take extra care to make sure that do not damage the door frame itself.

Once the old weather stripping is off completely begin to attach the new. Start with the over-head piece, using a hand saw and a utility knife to cut the new weather stripping to the correct length. After the head piece is on, then you can install the side pieces. It is best to install the new weather stripping with the door in the close position; that way you can visually check to see if the stripping is tight enough; against the door to prevent wind from swirling through.
