Paddy's DIY - How to replace the door seal on a timber door
Another great instructional video brought to you by Paddy's DIY
The door seal (sometimes called the draught seal) is the rubber seal that goes around the door frame and the door leaf. This door seal is a type of joinery seal. This means it sits into a groove that is cut when the door is being manufactured. No glue or pins are needed.
The door seal can become damaged from sun, weather and wear and tear. This particular type of door seal can be damaged by paint and varnish. As timber (wooden) doors need to be painted or varnished on a regular basis, it is common for the seal to get painted over. The paint causes the rubber seal to become hard and brittle. When the draught seal becomes damaged it doesn’t fully seal the door from wind, which in turn leads to draughts coming around the door seal.
The seal on the door frame tends to be the seal that get damaged the most. As it is on the outside it is exposed to the sun and weather. Also the outside of the door needs to be painted regularly, and in turn gets damaged with paint.
To remove the old seal from the door frame, simply grab a hold of the seal with your fingers and pull
back. The old seal should come away from the frame with ease. Starting at the bottom push the seal into the groove with your fingers, working your way to the top.
Sometimes the paint around the door can stop it going in, in this use a broad paint scraper to ease
the seal into the groove. Repeat for the other side and top
This door seal is slightly heavier than the door seal commonly found in timber doors around Ireland. The door will be slightly stiffer to close for the first day or two, this will go away as the seal will develop a memory. - Навчання та стиль

Nice how the seal colour matches the door's teak.
Hi, is this the same seal I would use for teak casement munster joinery style windows?
what lenght does it come in
Paddy where can I get that seal from dominic Donegal
Hi Paddy, I have purchased a replacement seal for my door. Appears to be no wood treatment applied to the groove of the door, should I place some clear varnish or paint into the groove or will it cause issues when installing the new seal?
More than likely, it will make it harder for the seal to go in. Maybe teak oil or something similar oil would be better. It would want to be bone dry before you put the seal into it, whatever you use.
Hi Paddy. What size is the groove does this seal fit. I can only find seals to fit 3mm. I need the identical seal you have used to suit a 5mm groove.
It's 5mm grove. Silvershardware.com in ireland stock it. If you look through the comments someone posted a link to a company in the uk that sells it
Hi Paddy - can you tell me where I can purchase exact door seal as I need approx 25m of it ? Thanks in anticipation. (I'm based in N.I)

I have a problem where the seal against the double glazing is leaking wind driven rain insie of the kitchen. Do you have any recommendations?
All windows should have drainage channels. So even if water gets past the seal it drains back out. If there is water getting in, it's usually be ause the drainage channels are blocked and the water has no where to go
Where do you buy this sort of seal please?
Some of the comments below have links to where you can buy it
Can you show how to fit this same seal around the actual door itself. I am having trouble forming a seal at the corners.
No problem. Give me a couple of days and I'll make a video
@@PaddysDiy Great Paddy! Thanks👍
