How To Replace Your Door Sweep And The Secret To A Perfect Fit!

How to replace your doorsweep with ease!

Thanks for watching!:)

Additional Tip: A lot of newer exterior doors have adjustable thresholds that can be tweaked by ~4 adjustment screws across the top of the threshold. If your new sweep fits too tight, try bottoming those screws out in the threshold first to see if that makes enough space. If it ends up being too loose, adjust the threshold screws accordingly.

4:22 I was hoping you would've shown the sweep after you completed the "trimming". Not sure what you actually trimmed off.

Millions DIY vids on the net, your are extremely well done.
From the nice explanations, camera shots/ angles and voice overs and total length of time.
You have a great talent - good luck to you!

To fix a hump in a non-adjustable threshold that has raised wood directly under where the door sits, a straight-edge and a belt sander work wonders.

I would rather drill new holes in the replaceable piece of plastic than the permanent metal door.

Love my "Red Bar"! So strong, and I keep the flat end sharp too

Wow, great content! I’ve watched several of your videos and thankfully they are short, informative, and to the point. You show more usable information in 5 minutes than most other YT channels do in a half hour. Think I’ll stick around. Liked & subbed! 👍

Excellent video. To the point with great info, answering questions before I asked. Thank you!

Would have liked more detail and better view of how you trimmed it. Looks like you just made lengthwise cuts in the rounded edge, but when you installed it looked like you cut the middle of the rounded part out. Love the channel ❤

Thanks for the great tips. I had the same problem with a new door sweep and now I know how to correct the issue with the tight door sweep.

Oh, oh....now I gotta go back to the duplex renovation job site and make sure I put the door sweep rain flashing facing out.

[jaredevildog]

Another great helpful video buddy. I respect that you suggest other youtubers videos also. Take care !

My builder brilliantly used construction glue and screwed in the sweep from the underside of the door. Was not a fun experience to replace a few months back.

Use self taping hinge screw to make holes for door sweep screws. Razor knife can make bottom of sweep shorter less drag.

Just moved into apartment but could see light shining through I went straight to Amazon !!

It's funny how European countries are strict about laws and thermal coefficients, airtightness of doors and windows while in the same time American people are free to use PVC flashings and stuff. I'm always curious while watching your videos and observe" how it's made up there". Greetings from Poland :D

My door thresholds have adjustments to raise or lower them.

[martyjosephson]

Would have been nice to actually see the cuts in the sweep that you made.
