How to Replace Exterior Door Weather Stripping | Seal Out Bugs, Water & Air

- In this video, I finish making this 30+ year old exterior door, better! In a previous video, I replaced the door's threshold but still needed to replace a few more parts. The threshold was a great improvement but changing the door sweep helped close the gap of where a mouse previously chewed through. I also switched out the weather stripping and tightened the door catch to make sure it was as tight as possible. These are easier home repairs that can help make a huge impact!

Even though I know how to do everything he does I love watching this channel. I’m glad he’s so successful on TH-cam. He has a great format for teaching and he does it expertly.

Thanks for sharing. My weather strips don't need replacing, but, watching this video almost makes me want to do it 😂
TIL how to remove a door by myself in addition to weatherstripping. THANK YOU!!!
Perfect timing. I'm sanding and painting my carport door this weekend. And now I will be replacing the weather stripping and the sill. And now, I'll do it with confidence.
This was outstanding information for me. The hole lock to my garage door lets so much air through its frustrating. Thank you so much for showing me I can adjust the connection by loosening the screws and tapping, whatever that’s called, over for a tighter fit.
Pretty house! Looking forward to seeing your updates
Your videos are so timely. Thank you for all the help you give us!❤
This reminds me of my current "accumulation of small projects" that really add up over time. Now, since I'm near the end of my list of things to be done, I feel I need to look at the front door weather stripping since it's 20 years old.
So far the hardest part of my home improvement endeavors has been tricking the wife into thinking that my paint color choices are her idea. Two rooms down, only seven more to go....
Looks great- while your in the garage, how about some garage door matience tips?
It also makes your door looks cleaner. Mine had some dirt and paint. Really easy to do.
Thanks a million for the detailed and thorough explanations, including the "real world" gotchas that inevitably occur when doing these projects and how to deal with them.
Catching another vid! Hope ya had a perfect Father's Day. I wanna skim coat those ceilings in the main living room ..... ALSO venetian plaster video will be in your future. Can't wait to see the videos you make in the next house after this one too. 😂❤🔥
Nice job, Matt. 👍🤩
Thanks much for the video! Clear and easy to follow DIY instructions!
the most well sealed garage door like ever, nice! do wonder what compelled the mice to chew through literal plastic on a door but oh well
Maybe dog food stored in the garage? I found a sack of dog food chewed at the bottom in my garage, so I bought a metal garbage can to store it in.
If you have magnetic be careful the weatherstrip was pin nailed in to prevent it from shrinking so go behind the weatherstrip with a putty knife and break the nails off if not you can split out the jamb. Make sure the weatherstrip is off the threshold so it doesn’t wick up water. You should caulk over the top of the riser with silicone before install your pad at the bottom of the jamb.
I had no idea you could adjust the door like you did using the strikers. My front door is showing crazy daylight and its not square so trying to seal it is a nightmare. Knowing this ill adjust it and see how it goes
whoa look at that new shop! With windows!
Thanks. Always good info. Can't wait to c what's next! Your Oregon Viewer. 😊
great video Matt 👍
Fixer got him self a real workbench!!!!!!!!!!!! #notsponsoredbyEmpiretools
TY love all your videos
Here to learn! Thank you!
Awesome!
Thanks
Thank you for sharing!

Awesome video.
Excellent demonstration, as all your videos are. When my 2 new exterior doors were installed, they were pre-hung, so the weather stripping was already installed. They did not come with the 2 squares to add to the bottom, that I can remember.
On my front door, there is a small gap at the bottom. The next trip to Lowes, I will look for those. Thank you.
I saw a couple of videos where owners insulated their metal garage doors with thin panel sheets of styrofoam. Will you be insulating yours also? TY
I have a door that only has a gap from the doorknob to the floor. Should I just put weather stripping in the gap
I need to do this to my front door, the previous owners tried to be repair pros and install a new door incorrectly I might add and now all the critters come in like spiders and roaches and rn there's a lot of moisture cause we've had an abnormally large amount of rain this year and now all these little moist, dark, damp living insects are coming in an I don't like it!! Lol
I need some guidance from my favorite TH-cam Fixer lol I have an old door that the previous people took off of one of the bedrooms and was left outside...idk because they're dumb I guess? Anyways the door it's self isn't warped and still in pretty good shape just needs cleaned up, sanded and etc but it has a split in on the bottom panel a couple inches from the hinge area and it is probably about 9 inches in length from what appears to be a big nail hole (the kind used for shingles maybe? Idk but they're big nails and they put them all around the door 😒 to attach it to something I guess.) and im wobdering if i can do ahead and clean up the door and, repaint it, install it and it would be fine or some glue or something? Idk but it's an original door to the house as far as I know and I want to keep it. Help? Lol

Slt j'ai vu dans une vidéo qu'il existe un petit outil en plastique avec une pointe . Tu le poses contre le gond tu tapes dessous et la pointe fait sortir la tige métallique vers le haut.
Are ya ready for dee heat-wave 🤟
Is there supposed to be a gap between the door stop and the frame? Or does the weatherstripping force its way between? I'm going to be rebuilding my frame and hanging a new door soon.
No daylight.
@@cantgetright742 This is not an intelligible answer to my question.
@@lordrefaiv there should be no daylight around your door, drafts, or anything like that
@@cantgetright742 Ok, yes. That is obvious and already stated in the video.
I looked into my question and there's an 1/8" kerf on the doorstop where the weather stripping goes.
@@lordrefaiv then why are you asking if there should be a gap when you already know.
the weather stripping doesn't have a sticky side, it just hugs the corner?
It has a sticky strip
Do you bite your finger nails?.........
Yeah. 😩 it’s a bad habit.
Funny you should ask that cause I’m biting mine right now.
@@TheFixerHomeRepair Cool....It beats smoking or drinking........
i wouldn't subscribe to this channel because he doesn't reply to my msgs so i unsubscribe

These TH-camrs don’t care. Once they get enough subscribers to make some money, they stop responding to questions. On the other hand, the question should be directly relevant to the video. It’s not the TH-camr’s job to be your personal tutor.
I absolutely do care and respond to A LOT of comments. As many as I can. I do not have a huge team of people, I am the one responding to comments and every minute I spend doing so is a minute I am not spending on creating more content, which is what I feel people really want. If someone unsubscribes because I don't respond to them then I feel they don't care much about my content anyway. 🤷🏻♂️
oh yea I see
