The complete guide
How to fit a silicone door seal in five steps
Step by step
- Measure the door width at the bottom edge.
- Cut the strip a few millimetres shorter so it clears the frame.
- Clean the bottom of the door and let it dry.
- Peel back the backing and press the strip on, starting at the hinge end.
- Close the door slowly and check the seal touches the floor without dragging.
If it drags
Lift the strip a millimetre or two. A seal that is pressed too hard will wear quickly and make the door stiff on carpet.
