MD Building Door Sweep, Silver, 36in Aluminum and Thermoplastic Rubber

Stops pests and drafts after I installed it on 2 of my exterior facing doors. Just cut to length and drill into door. I used a simple hacksaw I ordered on Amazon, and had it cut and installed in less than 30 minutes. I just wish I would have bought and installed it sooner! I could feel the heat come in during the day from the bottom of my door, and could see mice and roaches crawl through at night. After installing this, it stopped those pesky mice, and felt the temperature difference as well in the room. The aluminum was easy to cut but sturdy enough to hold up to the slight pressure if the rubber gadget on the bottom pressing up and sliding in the floor when opening and closing the door it’s installed on. The rubber gadget is thick enough to create a seal with the floor, but soft enough to slightly bend when the door is opened and closed.

Great fix for thresholds on doors that are in need of repair.. keeps the bugs out

Sturdy enough. Easy to install. Works well.

We had a big gap under the door coming into the house from the garage—the air conditioning (and heat in the winter) escaping under that door was not only very inefficient, but it was also attracting flies into the house where the temperature is more comfortable for both humans and flies! I read a lot of reviews and selected this particular door sweep because I wanted commercial grade—nothing flimsy, or attached with adhesive to fall off. I am very pleased with this one. What I like: Both the aluminum and the rubber are very sturdy to last a long time. It was advertised for high traffic areas. We come in and out of this door frequently and so wanted a quality product, attached securely. It was easy to install with 4 provided screws. I just had to mark a line at the desired height across the bottom of the door, mark the drill holes, and drill pilot holes for the screws. This door sweep comes 36” wide, but my door is only 32”. I was able to use a hacksaw to easily cut the aluminum strip, neatly. I cut the end that’s on the hinge side of the door so that the slightly rough (cut) end would not be exposed. I was also able to use a pair of scissors to cut the rubber to size. I cut the rubber slightly longer than the aluminum. This comes pre-drilled with 4 holes—that’s good, except that I cut the 4th hole totally off when I cut the length from 36” to 32”. I was able to easily drill a new hole, so that I still had 4 holes, evenly spaced, and I was able to use all 4 of the screws they provided. What I don’t like is minor: The holes in the aluminum did not quite line up with the holes in the rubber. That’s not a big deal, since I simply drilled a new hole through the rubber and the old holes do not show, since the rubber is inserted into and behind the aluminum. It was just an extra step. The seller’s product photo does not give a good view of the entire door sweep—it shows only 2 pre-drilled holes but 6 screws, giving the impression that there could be 6 pre-drilled holes. There are actually 4 pre-drilled holes in the 36” door sweep, and 4 screws are provided. If you have to cut down the length to fit your door, you will likely cut off one of the pre-drilled screw holes like I did, and so you may need to drill a new hole if you want to attach the door sweep with all 4 screws. Once installed, this door sweep is a perfect fit to prevent the A/C from escaping and to prevent the flies from coming into the house. It is also a BARGAIN at the $10.62 I paid. Others are triple the price. Overall, I am really pleased with it and do recommend it. I took several photos to show you how strong and secure it is and how well it seals the gap under the door. I write honest reviews to help others make informed purchases because I read reviews myself and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope that my review helped you!

Easy to install. Very sturdy. Looks great on the door.

This is a great door sweep. It effectively keeps out bugs and cold air in the winter, hot air in the summer. It's stronger than any I've used. Lasts long time. It is easy to cut with a small hacksaw and sturdy scissors. I definitely recommend

I have a larger large gap under my front door. In the winter you can fell a huge draft. When I had my door repainted and hardware replaced, I had the guy install this. It did not have any lee way for placement. He had to drill new holes further up thee sweep. That worked. The only thing the manufacturer needs to change is make the whole so it is adjustable up and down. Although the length had to be cut I would rather of had it longer than needed than shorter. I still love it though. Works perfect. Now my summer A/C and winter heat isn't going out the door. Yay!

Performed as advertised

Muy fácil de poner y muy funcional

I've had this door sweep for a couple of months now, and overall, I'm very satisfied with its performance. The installation process was fairly straightforward, making it easy to get up and running quickly. It has been very effective at keeping the draft from my cold cellar from seeping into the basement. It has made a noticeable difference in maintaining a comfortable temperature in the basement area. The only minor issue I've encountered is that the rubber material is quite stiff and tends to catch on my uneven floor, making it somewhat difficult to open the door fully. However, I see this more as an issue with my floor than with the product itself. All in all, this door sweep is serving its purpose very well, and I'm pleased with the results it has delivered.

Good quality.
