M-D Building Products 69604 All Season Aluminum Door Sweep for Bottom of Door, Heavy Duty Rubber Seal, Exterior & Interior Weather Stripping Bottom Door Seal, Commercial & Residential, (Silver, 48in)

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!

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

Works good and shipped fast.

This is a high quality item, with strong rubber on it. When the instructions say it should "lightly touch the floor", you should pay attention, unless you don't want to be able to open your door! Unlike flimsy sweeps, this one does not need to brush across the floor in order to seal better, it just has to meet the threshold beneath the door in order to work just fine. Installed correctly, this should last for many years.

The rubber part is a bit shorter than I would have liked but works well nonetheless. Best design for a door draft stopper! Super quick and practical installation.

awesome product. seen a big change alread

I am very pleased with my purchase. It was easy to install and blocks air perfectly.

Cuando lo compré pensé q era para lo q necesitaba pero jo me sirvió

Did the job. 3 stars because for the price it should have been straight. Mine came very warped but it still worked fine.

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.
