Would this work on exterior door with the rubber weather stripping underneath, filling the gap between the door and frame/threshold?

In my case, it certainly does not work on the exterior door. I kept it anyway because it's a great deal stronger than the security devices installed on hotel doors.

It would not work without cutting a section out of the weather strip. I used on exterior diir and has to cut about a 1 1/2" section out of the weather strip to get it to work. Other than that it works great. Old house and the bottom of the door always had movement and now it is secure.

yes you can put a sweep on the bottom of the garage door plus the threshold and that sould give you a waterproof seal except for a driving rain that is almost horizonal and hardly anything can stop that. Good products from amazon solved my garage door problem

I don't know for sure, but I think it works with both heat and light. I think that the exterior door would be insulated to prevent the heat attraction and as long as the seal on the door is good light should not be a problem either.

I just installed it,but appears to stop the drafts i had with other stripping. looks like it will work well in zero weather. Easy to install, fits tight even if your door is slightly out of plumb. I would buy it again.

No. It would either a) expand and fill the gap at the bottom, thus sealing the door, or b) create a strip of rigid foam that people would step on and ruin. This is for sealing a gap between two objects where movement is not intended.

we installed the garage strip under the door, so when the door is down it's under the weather striping on the door to make a good seal.

I've only used it on an inside door, but I think that if the door you wish to use it on is smooth enough on the surface, it should be possible. However, rain, wind and weather would wear on it, so I think it wouldn't last as long on an outside door. The most important thing, though, is to apply it to as smooth a surface as possible.

If you are using the weather stripping that came with the door, it won't matter - it will fall off when you open and close the door a few times anyway. Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get some decently sticky and a bit thicker foam insulation. Cut it to fit so that the insulation attached to the opposite side frame of the sliding door and rubs, but doesn't adhere to the stationary window. Good luck - we and our dog LOVE our door, but the insulation had to be replaced almost immediately after installation due to the lack of adhesiveness and the rubber grips the stationary window too much for it to stay on.

I dont see why not it fits most doors. As long as the strip of framing its supposed to catch on is flat I would think it would work just fine.

It should.. but you might have to put a section of wood between the front and back of the door to hold the mounting screws solid. we used it on a outside wall.. basically the same principle .. but wider between the front and back section. don't see why it wouldn't work.

I have not tried the thick rubber strip, but you would have to secure it good because of the movement of the flap assy. and the wind going down the road. Try it and let us know how it works.

Should work fine. If the space between the door and the floor is real tight you may need to tape it down so it doesn't move around.

Maybe. I installed the door on an thin aluminum panel. I had to cut wood 3/4 x 1" pieces glued around the parimiter on the inside then the inside and outside are screwed together. Don't cut the hole to big tho. Hopefully the scren is tight. Fabric screen may be diffichlt.Good luck.

It shouldn't. Just be sure that the door's cross bolt goes deep into a solid structure since that area collapses if weak when the door is banged hard to open a gap.

I THINK SO.You can also trim the rubber so it shows only 1 mm outside.It's there to protect the door!!!

You can put weather strips by the doors to prevent dust from coming in..it works.

I have it installed on an exterior door. We just went thru a hurricane with heavy rains in Hawaii and experienced no problems.
