M-D Building Products 49002 Jamb-Up Weatherstrip with Screws, 36-by-84 Inches, Satin Nickel

Wowza. Vintage 1900 property benefitting from these east peasy helper friends. A few tips for challenging installs.Used these in two different style doors. Original side door the previous however many owners didn’t maintain. But is in great shape to save. Restore. With a few upgrades.Though alone this insulation trim doesn’t work. These two options to help depending on how fancy you prefer the insulation.For the side door used furring strips. You can sand them or not. When renovating will upgrade to oak strips. The furring are one inch. Oak could be inch or 1/2 inch.Once the strips are installed. Make sure any gaps host caulk for a solid seal. This base gives a solid frame depth.The struggle I was having is the door has inconsistencies so this new insulation would snug the door. With the new frame stop using furring or fancier oak the insulation lays snug.For oak need predrilled holes so as not to split the wood.Highly recommend installing at night. Laying your head against the door to see if light creeps through the insulation once installed. I had to work hard to snug the trim along the front door. More on this below.Discovering the front door that’ll eventually be replaced isn’t flat. Has slight dips using the night time installation found solutions.Installed 1/2 oak stop with predrilled nail holes every eight inches. Closed the door. Then, this insulation trim. With door closed, one screw at a time press the insulation snug, then screw in. Ensuring the light doesn’t peel through.One spot had a sliver of light. I tapped the insulation while the door is closed between screws in the one area with a sliver of light. This helped close the gap.For the price and outcome am so happy I discover this method as nothing else helped put property.The front door will be replaced with framing, but not this year. The door isn’t original and the previous owner used a cheap replacement to the historic wood version.Of all the methods I’ve tried this is the best.The struggle is the hearty rubber barrier. To make it a barrier required a lot more effort then simply screwing it in with the door open.My expectation this winter is the possibility of cold air sneaks by. Compared to the wind tunnel issues when first taking possession am here for the best version of anything I’ve found so far.Another option that worked in the attic was furring strips and 1/4 foam stuck along the edge. This didn’t work on the front door or side. These required a more flexible reinforced edge. Found with this aluminum option. At each screw can mold the piece to a door that’s variable due to age.One thing another reviewer mentioned didn’t work for me. I did attempt to use caulk under the frame within the dip. And, along the edge one installed. Under sucks. Along the edge is the win.I’m some spaces the metal doesn’t lay flat. There’s variables during install from using screws and adjusting for each space. Clear caulk along the aluminum is helpful as needed.Hope these experiences are helpful.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯

Good product, fits nicely after you trim to fit your door size. Seals off around door very well. Would highly recommend.

I ordered 2 sets of this seal. Overall they seem to be good quality and work well. I’m reducing my rating because one set was bent pretty bad at the end but luckily I didn’t require that much length so I cut it off. The other set was missing screws so I had to supply my own.

3/2/14- I have no issue with the product. It does exactly what it is suppose to do. The issue I had was the shipping experience. I ordered 2. They both came in different shipments. They arrived within the shipment date provided. I'm prime, and they came by the post office. ugh.They were in a box that was a long (at least 40 inches) box. The post office folded the box to be able to fit in their car.That meant the weatherstrips were bent. Extremely bent. The boxes were busted open in places, so there were no screws anywhere in the package. I guess they fell out during shipment. I know the product came with screws b/c there were still two loose screws shaking around in the box.My husband had to take the weatherstrips and beat them out a little with a hammer to make them right again.Next time for something like this, I will just go to the store and get it.

After having installed this kit on exterior of 2 doors for over a few weeks and it's now December in CT, I can safely say that it appears to reduce the cold transmission by about 50%, which I think is pretty good. I took care of the interior with a tape-on approx. 1" wide silicone weatherstripping strip which goes on the door and covers the joint between the door and jamb and top and bottom sill which reduces total cold transmission by about 90% which IMHO is GREAT! I recommend these upgrades for energy savings and your comfort this winter.

No disappointment. Installs and looks exactly as described

I ordered two of these thankfully, with both sets being damaged I was able to finish the single door I was working on. I was also missing screws for one of the sets.
