Garage Door Bottom Seals:If you have a leaky garage door, water, dirt, debris, leaves and insects might all enter your garage. This results in a damp, uncomfortable setting and perhaps even structural damage. Most of our bottom seals slide into the current retainer on the garage door. To determine what type of retainer you have simply pull out a corner of your bottom seal to expose the retainer. Most standard retainers are a double or single channel. If you have a double channel you'll want to see if it's shaped like a T, or if it has an oval shape or round shape which should fit a Bead or P End bottom seal. The narrow gap at the bottom of a closed garage door is more than enough space for dirt, leaves, blowing snow, and rain to find their way inside, making a mess of your garage. Mice, rats, roaches, and other pests can also use this opening for easy access to your garage—and even to your home if you have an attached garage. However, a simple remedy for keeping out the elements and reducing the likelihood of pest infestations is a garage door threshold. Close the garage door to allow the weight to secure the threshold while the adhesive cures for about 24 hours.
