The complete guide
Fitting a screw-on brush seal: tools, tips and tidy finishes
What you need
A tape measure, a pencil, a small drill with a pilot bit, a screwdriver and a hacksaw or sharp craft knife.
The sequence
Hold the strip to the door with the bristles just touching the floor, mark the slot positions, drill pilot holes, and fix loosely. Adjust the height, tighten the screws and snap the cover shut.
Fire doors
Check whether the door is a fire door before drilling. Drilling into a fire door can compromise its rating, so use a suitable approved fire-door seal instead.
