What is an Automatic Door Bottom and how does it work? In this video you will see the basic layout and functioning of an automatic door bottom including a video of an automatic door bottom performing in action.

Studying for the NCIDQ and kept coming across this term. This was super helpful! Thank you.
Would this block water as well, like say spray from a garden hose?
How well does this work in a carpeted floor ?
Does the bottom of the door need to be few inches above the floor for this ?
If the carppet is not to plush it will work well. Gap should be mot more than half inch for best performance.
never knew something like this existed until recently, very clever. Is it practical to mount an ADB on the outside (exterior side) of an in-swinging door ? How would it hold up to the outside elements, lots of rain where I live. Would the top surface need caulked where it touches the door skin?
Hi. The heavy duty ones hold up well. to the outside elements. Would be a good idea to run a bead of waterproof silicone along the top.
Awesome. Thanks for the video
We are replacing a sliding door that has failed and are considering a Pivot Door. We are on the Florida Gulf coast where impact resistant hurricane doors are required. We are concerned about water infiltration in the pivot door product.
Question 1): Have you tested your system for use in a hurricane zone (HVHZ) application?
Question 2) : Can your automatic drop seal product be applied to an ANDERSEN Pivot Door Model APD-T with High Performance sill option. (Right side in-swing only)
Question 3): Are the internal components of the automatic drop seal product made of stainless steel to prevent rusting in coastal environments?
This product has not been tested in a Hurricane Zone.
How quiet are they when they are moving up or down. Any audible clicking? etc....
No audible clicking, silent.
Before purchasing, I would like to know EXACTLY how pushing the plunger on the end causes the seal to drop. I do not like to purchase anything without knowing how it works.
How would you deal with the small amount of light coming from the bottom of the gasket and door trim?
A door dust plug can help with that (Using semi or fully mortised Automatic Door Bottoms will also avoid this problem as the gasket will sit in front of the ADB) www.tmsoundproofing.com/automatic-door-bottom-mortised-for-1-3-8-door-ez-access.html
Is there a good way to soundproof a door handle?
Just remove the door handle and place it under your pillow that should do the trick
Kewl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for the help👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼@@suckitgoogle7756
Where is the video for how to install?
It has not been uploaded yet. It is in the pipeline.
Same question 😩
there are Right hand and left hand? or you can reverse the mechanism???
The one shown can be turned either way and can be used on a right or left handed door without touching the mechanism.
How’s the sound proof?
Same question. Thanks
I live in a condo where it is not permitted to install the sweep on the hallway-facing (outside) of the door? Are there any automatic solutions that can be mounted to the inside of the door?
No you gotta think about how doors work. The inside surface of the door is going to be flush with the door jams so there would be nothing to press the switch in
@@baxt1412 You could add some wood to create something for the switch to push against. Looking around there's also ones you can mount inside the door itself.
Where's the "How to install automatic door bottom" video???
Your right, it is overdue. We'll try to push it thru in the near future. Thanks.
@@Tmsoundproofing Please do! I've got six doors I'm thinking of installing this on and would like to see the process.
It's actually called a mechanical sweep
Incorrect. Automatic door bottom is correct. Search Pemko 4131, similar to this product shown.
Negative, and here's why. While the internal workings, of the door bottom, are mechanical. The lowering action of the door bottom, however, is performed automatically any time that the door is closed, or opened, due to the fact that the set screw is activated by the door frame. The operation of the door bottom is done automatically anytime the door is operated manually. So, by definition, "automatic" would be correct when describing the door bottom. Furthermore, no part of the door bottom contacts the floor when the door is in motion and that would make "sweep" incorrect as well. So, in closing, it's actually NOT called a mechanical sweep. Sorry, to be the 2nd, bearer of bad news.
@@DFWJon lol listen bro Im not sure what knowledge you actually have but I personally been in the automatic door industry work for Stanley access technologies for 15 years AAADM certified and all. we call those types of parts mechanical sweeps... Why because you can't automatically activate that sweeps unknowingly you have to KNOWINGLY Activate the that sweep by either pushing the actuator in or by the actuator making contact with the jam side of the frame... But ok door god🤦🏻♂️😂
@@RichieRich1012 you sure sound like a professional the way you talk like a kid
@@Dave-dh7rt yeah I sound like a kid... I'm AAADM certified since 2007 and I'm a senior tech at Stanley access technologies since 2007... All of us here at Stanley call that a mechanical sweep. but okay you're a genius you win 🤦🏻♂️

The video doesn’t explain how automatic door bottoms work.
From :48 to 1:00 you can see how they work which is the point most people want to see. If there is anything else you would like to see let us know.
I believe it does. Not internal manufacturing, but all aspects of function were covered, as the title says. How it works, was explained
@@Tmsoundproofing No, it doesn’t show how it works.It just show the door shut (practically in silhouette) and and somehow something goes down. It doesn’t show the mechanism of how it works.
