Windbag at 1:50, I don't have one of those, but will my mother-in-law work?

@5:40 so to clarify: The thick door seal with the 'V' shape; The two tips of the 'V' point into the centre of the door?

Pausing this Video, shows the 'V' tips pointing into the centre.

Attention!
If you are building the door opening around the door I recommend makeing the hole at least 10mm bigger on both sides in the width to enable functional use of the wind-out lugs, or simply don't use them. Knock down frames on double door are flexibe until fitting is complete, getting the two doors to line up needs ample adjustment otherwise the locks don't work!.

I really wished you guys shipped to north america

Are the wind out lugs only usable if you get the extra 'expanding side panels'? Are door fitting shims included in the fixing kit? Thanks

Does it need to be raised off the floor, I want it for an inner door inside garage. Can frame sit on floor. Thanks

Do you have any doors you can put smart locks on, for example, a Yale Smart lock on the door?

[philrose]

Is this door available in the USA? If so how much is the cost and installation?

I am about to buy a 1595x2020 double door for my garage. It will be a new door added to the back. I'll do it DIY and was wondering if I needed a lintel above it or would the steel frame be suffucient? There will be only 2 or 3 courses of brick above it and of course the roof structure. I am asking as on your videos I don't seem to see any lintels and I am not sure it is because of the demonstration only or is it because it is fine that way. I don't mind to pay that extra few quid on a concrete lintel but it wouldn't be the prettiest sight in town, I'd prefer the bricks if that would work. Thanks!

Is it possible for your company to install the door?

[AliHussanuk]

I've just put the V strip on the door and now the door won't close easily, what gives?

[me-ilbl]

hi can you fit these doors on a internal room door with a wood frame

[leecornwall]

Don’t you need a lintel above the door?

[mattg]

Is in normal to fill the side cavities with foam, like you would do with pvc doors, or is there no reason to?

Would it seal better?

[mbrunskill]

how would this be fitted on a sectional concrete garage, would it be safe to drill into the concrete sections ? ive heard they can crack/split
