Easily Replace Weather Stripping on an Exterior Door

- Step by step of how to replace your weather stripping on a steel exterior door. I used the magnetic replacement seal (reference link below) but this would work the same for a standard foam or rubber seal with any kerf style door. This is a project that anyone can handle and a great way to keep your home cool in the summers and warm in the winters.

I appreciate how simple this video was. It wasn’t full of extra information before getting to the actual task. Concise, descriptive, and good quality. 👍🏼
Thanks for a clear how-to video without fluff :-)
Thanks for actually showing us how to do this and not just saying what you're doing like other diy “how to” channels do.
Thanks Scott, I will now be cozy on this winter day.
Best to replace on a spring day , not too hot or cold .
I did not know how easy that was , Thank you 😄
For sure, happy to help!
Thank you, much simpler than I thought.
I Think Your Videos Are Excellent..
very good, short and concise...a cover. thanks
Great video. I don't understand how the magnet works, though.
I believe this is really meant for for steel doors (per the description on Amazon). It has a very weak magnet inside the strip. Technically, it's supposed to help pull the door shut, but it is obviously a useless feature for wooden doors.
Thank you. Very helpful.
Excellent video!
Thanks!
This was very helpful. I need to know how to replace. I'm not sure what is called. But, it goes across the bottom of the door.
Bottom of the door? Oh, I see your video on bottom seal repair, thanks.
What do you do if there's still light coming thru after you've installed the strip?

Appreciate the help bro now 🙏
👊happy to help!
I guess I'm a little late... but thank you for showing us!
Happy to help!
Nice video. Thanks! Do you have a video for the weather stripping that goes on the bottem of the door?
Not yet but I have one that needs replacing so will soon 👍
Great video, thank you!
You’re welcome 👍
Do you have a video sealing storm door? When I open my storm door it frosts up
I have a front door that sure lets the cold air come in. I'll have to replace the current weather stripping. I'm in southern Alberta and it gets cold here. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, it was a great demo,
...but how did you know what size kerf to buy...the last two I bought don't hit or press against the door enough. Also, my other door seems to not come off. So its been a pain. Definitely not 1 size fits all.
Hi Carla, yeah most of the kerf seals you find at home improvement stores will fill a max gap width of 11/16 of an inch. Do you know how large of a gap you are trying to fill with the weather stripping?
Thank you
You never actually mentioned what the difference between magnetic and non magnetic stripping is or how it works?
The magnetic strip will actually be attracted to the door as long as you have a steel exterior door. That helps to fill any air gaps compared to what you might get with a non-magnetic weather stripping. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hello, If the door is wooden and does not have magnets , is there a wat to make it magentic any kits ? metal stripes ?
I would probably go with a standard weather seal assuming the gaps you are needing to close are less than the width of the weather stripping. This kit can seal roughly a 5/8" gap amzn.to/3poyRqD
super easy! thanks
You bet!
After the replacement hard to open the door? Any advise pls
Scott, my front door is fairly new around September of 2019. Yet I noticed the weather stripping also new makes decent contact from the top of door to a point about 18" above grade where a consistent 1/16" to perhaps 1/8' gap exists. Should I try and replace it with a size that is an 1/8" to 3/16" larger than what is there now and will this affect the majority of the door that had a decent seal from a point of 18" to the top? How is this type of weather stripping officially measured so that I can be well prepared shopping for the next size up? By the way, this is the hinged side of the door.
Thanks
No prob! 👍
What if their is no groove?
👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
Thanks! I-L-L
ye but what happens when the factory kerf seal was held in with staples and trip board .
That sounds like a pain in the butt ☹️
@@EverydayHomeRepairs Hello , If my door is wooden , and I want to use magnetic seal , which kit is best for this ? or should I just cut metal stripes and glue them around the door?
Thank you!
can i send you a pic of my door with my problem
What did you use to cut the weather stripping?
You could probably use a utility knife or even scissors.
The bottom of the door is the hardest part to replace.
🤓✌👍👌🖖😎
More Chinesium stuff.
The brick moulding is dry rotted and needs to be replaced.

(You can put the first 30 seconds at the end if you really want to, but honestly no one wants to see it. ) Hope this comment and the thumbs up help your youtube rating, i did like your video.
