    How to install weatherstripping

    45 min | easy | 11 STEPS

    You can keep out uncomfortable cold drafts and lower your utility bills by installing weatherstripping on your door. Weatherstripping can also help reduce outside noise and provide interior comfort. You will be able to breeze through this task by following these simple steps.

    WHAT YOU'LL NEED

    Step

    Start by measuring the width of your door.

    Step

    Transfer this measurement to the new sweep and mark it.

    Step

    Use the scissors or utility knife to cut the rubber seal.

    Step

    Use the hack saw to cut it to length.

    Step

    Hold the sweep against the door and mark where the screws will go.

    Step

    Select a bit slightly smaller than the screws supplied.

    Step

    Drill pilot holes on the door.

    Step

    Hold the door sweep in place and begin driving the screws.

    Don't tighten them down just yet.

    Step

    This particular sweep has slots for the screws rather than holes.

    It allows you to adjust the height of the sweep to best cover the door opening.

    Step

    Tighten all screws once the best seal has been achieved.

    Step

    Operate the door a few times to check the seal, and you're done!
