I never thought to tuck it in on itself. Seems like a nice way to terminate the ends.
The was the first time I heard of this even after watching numerous channels. That is a great idea.
Hello, thanks for the video. How can I tell what kind of garage door I have? It has a p bulb but it is measuring 8 mm across and I can’t find the replacement.
Great video , lose the mask. Your working alone !
must have voted for biden lol
What is the best application for a wooden garage door that opens manually (no automatic opener)? I don't want to use a floor seal. And will I have to adjust the latch that slides into the side track to lock the door?
Hello. There are seals that will work for a wood door. These seals are usually tacked or stapled onto the bottom. Here is a link to an option thru Amazon: amzn.to/3sZvpXp
Hello,
My retainer is bent and I noticed my strip to hold the seal is also rusted. So do I replace the aluminum strip first?
The dent is bigger than it should be so I’m not sure what else to do….
Is there someone I can call for this?
i just replaced the seal...it looks great . thanks... but my floor is not even so one side still has a gap(just like the shot at 2:08) in this video. any ideas on has to close the gap on one side of the garage?
Hello. Have you checked how level the floor of the garage door?
What is the aluminum piece actually called and where do you get it? Where are yall located?
Hello. It's called an Aluminum Garage Door Bottom Seal Retainer. We are located in Southern California.
Thank you. There is a local SOS in Texas I was hoping it was your company. Thanks for your help
@@gohawksboom Yes you can. Yet the challenge is removing the retainer safely.
@@sosgds Can you suggest how I could find a local seller of these fully length retainers near San Jose, CA for me to install myself. I prefer this single piece design over the multiple ~4 ft segments you get when ordering online.
@@scottparcel1221 Hello! I can definitely try and help.
How far are you willing to travel?
I hate Amarrs because that’s what I’ve had in every hose and they have always been the pinch guard ones but they always work well... but the weather seal is difficult to find and different... I like y’all a style and editing! Nice job!
Thanks! Trying to make videos with perspective that's more appealing.
Hello, maybe you could help me with getting a correct bottom weather seal? It looks like from old owner manual and old contract invoice I have two sized doors 16×7 and a 9×7 and it looks like the model door is a Windsor 530. I'm thinking I need to replace because of bugs, small snakes and water blowing in when heavy rain or wind but I'm not sure which weather seal will work much help appreciated.
Hello. The L shape bottom retainer should work perfectly fine. I do have another video about this seal that you can find here. There is also a link to Amazon.

"please take all safety precautions..." as you freehand a circular saw 5" from your knee! 😁
Excellent observation. Thank you for pointing it out.
Right! ROTFLMAO
Excellent video. Thank you for making each step very clear and understandable. I’m very happy to see you wearing a mask. You obviously care about protecting your clients and others (cameraman perhaps?) that are near you. 👏
Thank you for your kinds words. Yes, I wear a mask to all my service calls. I try to do my best to protect my customer and fellow neighbor. I do all my camera work though. 😅😁 I have a small tripod. It helps gets those tough shots. Thank you again for your feedback.
Hi!
My garage door is like the one at 2:25 , could you tell me where I can find this seal?
Hello. That is a Wayne Dalton bottom seal. You should be able to find it off Amazon.
@@sosgds thank you!!
I just bought a weather seal with the T channel, and now I see that the channel on this old garage door has rounded grooves to fit the seal into. For the life of me I can't get the T shaped weather seal to go into the round channel... any suggestions?
Hello. You're gonna need a new bottom retainer that will accommodate a T shaped bottom seal.
Is it better to have the kind of seal that has the extra rubber circle inside? Does it help create a quieter close?
Hello. The inner circle seal offers better support. Yet it does not make it quieter than a seal without it. Either way a new seal with or without a circle will offer a better barrier.
I appreciate the video. I'm trying to find a seal for my garage door but haven't had any luck yet.
Hello. Do you know the brand of garage door you have?
Love me some retainer/ astrigal (bottom rubber) change outs! 💯🙏
Thanks Bro! A new bottom seal can make a world of difference. Look forward to your next video.
@@sosgds yes it sure can. We've been doing a lot of Storm Shields as well. Hope to have a video on that soon. Got to add that to my list of videos I have to finish. I've got some good stuff coming up. I've learned don't rush the content. Make it right the first time. I'm always learning new ways to create, which keeps it interesting to me.
I've been on vacation so I've barely done anything. July is my month I get a full body and mental break. Kinda a reboot if you will. Preping for the rest of the year, which is pedal to the metal non stop door action until next July!!! 💪🏼🤓🤟🏼.
That sounds like well deserved R&R my friend! Look forward to your next masterpiece.
Where can I find a garage seal that’s 9 feet long and is 1 1/4 wide to fit my garage?
Hello. You might will only be able to find a 16 ft long seal. They usually come in a 16-ft long or 8 ft long size. Rarely are they found in a nine, or 10 ft length. Thus you might have to purchase the 16 footer and make the necessary cut. But what you really want to make sure is what type of retainer channel you have in order to purchase the right seal. Thus do you know if you have a t channel retainer?
@@sosgds yes it’s a T channel
Seems hard to understand you with the mask on
Hello. Here's another video that might come out clearer.

Outside by himself with a mask? Maroon
Does the aluminum track come in two pieces, or a single piece?
Hello Carlos. Do you mean the aluminum retainer that installs on the bottom of the door for the seal to slide on? Or are you talking about the tracks along the side of the door?
@@sosgds Yes, I was referring to the track that goes on the bottom of the door and on which the rubber seal is attached to. I did find it at Home Depot. It does come in three pieces.
This is the type of dude who still wears a mask while driving around in his truck... by himself.
Thank you! Very helpful.
What size tap screws did you use?
I got them from Home Depot but they are similar to these.

If it's a help to anyone who reads comments or yourself, Santiago, PTFE dry lubricants for bike chains like Tri Flow sound like a good no oil, no mess option. I'll be giving it a shot myself; bottom seal is soon on my list too). Thanks again for you knowledge!
Why do you hide your identity?
Who was that masked man?
Very helpful thanks
Glad it helped
My 40 year old door still solid but seal is shot no astragal/ just nailed in -what brand type astragal and gasket would u recommend?
Great video, going to give it a go.
