how do you weatherstrip a door?

Question

I think thats what you call it. The rubber seal at the bottom of the door is peeling off, and making the seal to the outdoors less than optimal. I'd like to replace that. How do I go about it? Is there a kit that I can buy somewhere? thanks

Answer 1

Lowes or any good hardware store sells what you need.
Measure the width of the entrance before you go.
The best type is a heavy metal strip with the gasket/weather strip assembled together (the less protrusion of the rubber the better).
You should be able to pry up the old one with a screwdriver and screw or nail the new one right back in place.
If you want to go the extra mile, you could put a thin bead of caulk down before you secure the new strip.
