I am a woman and love, love, love to learn ways to deal with the house fixings since I am the only one who really cares for them. My son sent me your videos and here I am, and a new subscriber. Thank you very much for teaching us how to. 🥰
Wow I was soooo pissed to see the light gap and then you freakin nailed it with the second one. Sweet lord that was an emotional rollercoaster for me. Outstanding work!
Thanks I'm a subscriber.. Question please : Instead of putting the door draft stoppers on the Inside AND the Outside, can you just put it on the OUTSIDE ONLY ? Thanks. Anybody knowledgeable please reply soon
Thank you! Tired eroding door seal, was dreading (been there done that) take the heavy door off the hinges, to replace it. What you give me is time back, and more energy reserved for other things, and I appreciate that.
Thank you. As a woman, I appreciate your explanations and different solutions to the problems. As a perfectionist, I procrastinate, but as you said resolving the problem is more important.
Oh man I wish I had seen your video months ago when I was trying to find ways to stop my front door from minor storms and rain getting in. This is the best and most informative video I have found! Thanks heaps!
I like the idea of the double sweep. Here in fire country, a retired fireman stayed home as a big wind-driven fire bore down on them. Glowing embers blew under the door like crazy, setting little fires around the house interior which they put out with water they had reserved in the bathtubs and sinks. As the flame front passed quickly under high winds, he then went outside and put out other small fires outside. Another one for your "keep out" list. However, I'm looking for silicone sweeps, not merely vinyl.
Great video! For me though the Aluminum and Vinyl flange hasn't worked well. The vinyl tends to slide out with time and the screws tend to get loose with time also.
I love your videos!!!! Very informative, you speak clearly, concise, not a lot of fluff, just good lnfo. You make it sound like...”yeah you guys got this, you can do it”. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, keep it coming my man !!!
I really like the fact that you address idiot problems like this that the average person doesn’t realize they can fix themselves. I know more people who have asked me about hiring someone to solve really simple problems like this. I always say the first and best tool one can have is confidence!
Very true, Monkey! Sometimes I have to remind myself to document things like this, because I’ll look back and say, “I didn’t know how to do this once…there have to be plenty of people out there who still don’t.”
Hello Ethan, thanks for all of your door weatherproofing videos. I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of gaps all around my door, with no luck. Your videos were perfect for my situation and gave us a very sealed door. I'm now a subscriber to your channel and enjoy your videos, great for our older house. Best, Todd
My door opens in (groan!), so I'll be putting in a threshold. And then a couple of those aluminum/vinyl sweeps, so they contact at the bottom only when the door is closed. Thanks for the pointers!
Thanks for the great info and presentation. I need new sweeps on all my doors, and as you know they are all different. What a pain, since some of the I have to take off the hinges and man handle them. You have saved me hundreds of dollars when I had to replace a rotten door jam and was able to do it with your door jam video. So I am definitely going to take your information under advisement. Thanks for the great information and congratulations on your new digs and location.
Back-to-Back, another awesome video. Thanks,. The self-tapping screws was a help for me. Whenever I installed exterior doors where the door sweep was used, the screws very rarely catch on the stainless steel doors but just bore right through. I'll try the self-taps and see if that helps next time.
One big additional consideration to the aluminum and rubber flange door sweep is that it will drag dirt and debris it comes in contact with across the floor. Over time, this can do a number to floor finishes, especially some of the less expensive vinyl flooring products sold today. We removed ours and replaced them with another product, just to be safe. Very helpful video. Thank you!
I keep getting water in my basement which is from an even bigger issue. The gap in the door isn't helpful so this is a really good tip without breaking my pockets. Thank you
Thanks I'm a subscriber.. Question please : Instead of putting the door draft stoppers on the Inside AND the Outside, can you just put it on the OUTSIDE ONLY ? Thanks. Anybody knowledgeable please reply soon
Nice breakdown. We lived in our house for 10 years, before I looked into this. I was tired of feeling a cold draft coming in at the front door and back door. Albeit, the one I installed required removing the entire door - LOL
I tried everything, including the flange, but finally settled on the U-shaped sweep. It works really well with the multiple small flanges that adapted to an uneven floor better than the single flange. A couple years later I'm still draft free !
First you install aluminum threshold on floor with concrete screws and seal it around with caulking , then you install door sweep , i watched this video and i see he doesnt know what he is doing !
@@z.k5559 Certainly! The title is a bit misleading as he's not trying to do a comprehensive lesson on how to install a door and prevent drafts. He's simply reviewing two types of sweeps. I like a threshold with the flexible rubber insert down the middle. Allows you to put the sweep a little lower and the two will squish together as you close it.
I always try to be my own handywoman in my house, learning how to fix everything on YT to save money. I just don’t mess with plumbing and electrical but I wish I could
Great info. Was hoping you would also address a garage door with gaps. Perhaps another future video? Thanks I always appreciate your sharing - you empower this girl tremendously :))
Please do! I had the same thought watching this video. My garage is my workshop and the door (that rolls up and I hardly ever open) has a gap underneath that lets in moisture and bugs. Help!!!
Thank you one more job to get off my list. The terminology used is great being able to go into the trade shop buy the correct product for the job. Have you got a tip for kitchen cabinets that have become out of a liniment not closing up. I know you have to adjust the hinges, what is your way? Thank you in advance Chris
Thanks Chris! Many of those cabinet hinges are slightly different-I just open a cabinet door, turn one screw slightly, close it again and check alignment. Then try another screw and repeat. Do this until you know what each screw position does, then you can easily adjust all doors accordingly. 🙂
I love your videos because you don't present "perfect world" scenarios, and my house is def not perfect. I need to replace the bottom nail-on sweep on my front door again (removal required) because the rubber strips begin to rip away on the door knob side almost immediately. I'm thinking the contractor installed it cockeyed.....
Is it possible to replace the bubble seal on a door threshold? I have several exterior door threshold seals that have become worn out and now need replacement. These doors lock into the threshold so I’m trying not to replace them if I don’t have to… thanks!
At 3:26 looks like a little repair to the concrete would be a good fix. Cement all works great. There are good videos how to. This will help keep the mice out
Thanks for your video. I always learn from your videos . Without a threshold are you concerned with rain water? I am trying to weather in a shed that has a zero turn mower driving over the threshold and a water pump. Thanks again.
Oof, that one can be a real pain, Riser. Depending on if the door is painted, I’ve actually ripped down quality framing lumber to door width size, glued and shot it to the door bottom, then wood fillered the seam, sanded and painted. Often it just vanishes!
I have a 100 year house. The hinges lift the door as it opens, and drops as it closes. Fully open the door is one inch lifted. See if these hinges are available in your hardware store.
Hello, while your video didn't really apply to my needs it did give me inspiration! The door sweep I was trying to install was a vinal U-shaped one. I slid it on and it was just a quarter of an inch too long! I didn't know what to cut it with. I tried a utility knife but that only scored the plastic (which was helpful later in knowing where to cut but didn't actually cut through), then I tried kitchen scissors but that just broke the plastic, leaving a jagged cut, not really a nice cut and couldn't cut through the underside with all the little flaps. Then I saw you using tin snips and while I don't have a pair of them, I did have a pair of gardening sheers and I thought I'd try that, and guess what? It cut through that plastic very nicely, leaving a nice looking sharp edge, I even used the sheers to clean up the bad edge the scissors left behind. So thank you for the inspiration!! I have virtually no carpentry skills but I sometimes don't mind doing some light projects if I can and have the right tools. I will be checking out some of your other videos. Thanks again!!
I would say you still have to get rain water in the bottom of that door, I have a small garage door installed three years ago it looks like it has good threshold to it good side weather seals but water yet gets in some how I even went as far as adjusting the threshold strip up higher to mesh with the original door sweep but after that & doing the extra caulking it still leaks water in, complete mystery as I said the door looks solid with all the weather stripping caulking but water is yet getting in, if I had to do it over again I would had gotten a door that opened outwards rather then inwards then I could had used an aluminum rubber sweep that would had forced the rain water to drain further away from the door threshold.
A big safety concern. At the end of your video, you suggest to extrude the bottom door seal out a little bit outside the edge of the door to cover the corner edge. It is a big safety issue. That extrude edge can caught your feet accidentally. For sure, it does hurt.
I don’t like drilling holes into the door. The existing one that’s worn out on the door was slide on & appeared to be a rubber gasket type. Local hardware stores didn’t have what was on there so I’ll have to check big hardware stores like Home Depot. I like the Stanley brand sweep w/fins as that seems to be the type that was on there.
I think it would be a more helpful video if it showed how to recognize the more common door seals (with the door still attached) so that you know which one you have including measuring for the right width and etc.
How does the vinyl hold up to the concrete slab? I outfitted my door with a nylon brush sweep because like you I didn't want to install a threshold. But this winter has gotten really cold and I feel I may need to swap it out for something more air tight like the vinyl one.
What a great idea what a great video. I was thinking for so long how do I solve that bottom door gap. Thankyou very much for this brilliant great idea.
How flexible is the rubber on those things? My front door has about a 3/8" gap along the bottom when closed but when you open it, it drags on the carpet because the house is old and the floors are uneven. I'm not sure if it would get hung up on the carpet too much to be usable.
Can you install the aluminum + vinyl flange on the exterior of the door only? As in, the one you installed on the exterior to cover the gap of light still coming in; Could you hypothetically install the initial (single) flange on the exterior side (without anything attached to the interior)?
hi. i'm hoping you can help me out. i know this video is a bit old. but in my apartment, the floor is uneven in the front door. is there any suggestions or products that i can use that would help with that? in the summer the hot air just comes on in and we get lots of bugs coming in. so it's annoying. hopefully you can get back to me.

You have one of the best DIY channels with simple and easily understandable instructions with supporting video. Many Thanks!!
You get right to the point and straight to the steps. Plus, These sweeps look smooth AF. *FOLLOW*
You do a good job of cutting to the chase in your videos. No nonsense, practical, common sense solitons explained well. Thanks
This channel should have millions of subscribers. Awesome stuff every time.
Great video! For me though the Aluminum and Vinyl flange hasn't worked well. The vinyl tends to slide out with time and the screws tend to get loose with time also.

brilliant using two - I have doors front and back to my workshop that have large uneven gaps and I am going to try this.
I really like the fact that you address idiot problems like this that the average person doesn’t realize they can fix themselves. I know more people who have asked me about hiring someone to solve really simple problems like this.
I always say the first and best tool one can have is confidence!
Very true, Monkey! Sometimes I have to remind myself to document things like this, because I’ll look back and say, “I didn’t know how to do this once…there have to be plenty of people out there who still don’t.”
I agree! This gives me the confidence as an old woman, that I could have a go as well, with winter on the way and fuel bills set to rise ❤
I accidentally bought these yesterday was just about to take them back,thanks for the video much appreciated
Great review. This is one of the best simple and inexpensive improvements you can make to your home! Love what you're doing. Keep it up, buddy!

Thank you that really helped me out!☺️
Thank you, I always watch your video before I DIY. My door gap is around 2-1/4 inch, If I use a 36 by 3inch, will it be ok?
Thanks! This video is exactly what I needed for my leaking mud room door!

I am going to buy door sweeps for my two exterior doors. Thanks for the video!
Very timely for me as my basement service door allows rain water to enter the basement due to a worn out threshold & sweep. Thank you very much!
That last recommendation is great! I use them too.
Thanks! I need to this on a garage side door. Big gap and mice love it.
Thank you for the video. I used your technique, and keep the outside out!
I always try to be my own handywoman in my house, learning how to fix everything on YT to save money. I just don’t mess with plumbing and electrical but I wish I could
What about a large gap underneath threshold door exterior side? The wood filling the gap rotted.
Best subscription I’ve made. Hands down
Great info. Was hoping you would also address a garage door with gaps. Perhaps another future video? Thanks I always appreciate your sharing - you empower this girl tremendously :))
Thanks Boho! I’ll try to cover garage doors soon 🙂
Please do! I had the same thought watching this video. My garage is my workshop and the door (that rolls up and I hardly ever open) has a gap underneath that lets in moisture and bugs. Help!!!
So easy. My garage side door from 1955 had this issue and actual rain got in as well.
Yep, happens in this shop as well Chris. That’s why I love aluminum and vinyl-both impervious to water!
What about shower doors that aren't contacting the threshold enough which is allowing water to come through on the bathroom floor?
Thank you one more job to get off my list.
The terminology used is great being able to go into the trade shop buy the correct product for the job.

Great info! Straight forward and useful. I’m now a more valuable human for my new knowledge 👏👍
Thanks for watching, Dude! 🙂
Great video and love the content you cover. You are helping out a lot of people which is really cool.
Do you know of a garage door sweep that would withstand water exposure?
I love your videos because you don't present "perfect world" scenarios, and my house is def not perfect.

nice solution. I have an interior door that was cut aboe the carpet...which we removed leaving a large gap. Any solutions for this?
Oof, that one can be a real pain, Riser. Depending on if the door is painted, I’ve actually ripped down quality framing lumber to door width size, glued and shot it to the door bottom, then wood fillered the seam, sanded and painted. Often it just vanishes!
Hi, don't know why I stopped getting notify when you upload new video... subscribed to get it all...
Looks OK for a ‘shop’ door. Any suggestions for a nicer looking solution for a finished back door?
Does this also keep out cold air?
I have a 100 year house. The hinges lift the door as it opens, and drops as it closes. Fully open the door is one inch lifted. See if these hinges are available in your hardware store.

I believe it was only the vinyl part extending beyond the metal. Not really a safety issue.
I'm trying to figure out how to soundproof the gap on the bottom & top of my apartment door. Any ideas?
I have had this issue on a screen door at our hunting cabin for years and it is always bugged me now, I know how to fix it thank you.
Awesome Douglas! They’re also make fiber sweeps, with a bottom like a broom head. That might work well in that situation too!
Thanks for all your videos. Very helpful information.
You’re welcome, T!
Thank you for the HONEST information bro 👏👏🙏🙏
I don’t like drilling holes into the door. The existing one that’s worn out on the door was slide on & appeared to be a rubber gasket type. Local hardware stores didn’t have what was on there so I’ll have to check big hardware stores like Home Depot. I like the Stanley brand sweep w/fins as that seems to be the type that was on there.
Nice! Interested in seeing the best solutions for a front door (something more aesthetically pleasing).
Welp my gap is at the top of the door unfortunately, how can i fix that
You're great. Right to the point, know what your talking about. Thank you !
I think it would be a more helpful video if it showed how to recognize the more common door seals (with the door still attached) so that you know which one you have including measuring for the right width and etc.
i agree
Perfect answer to lizards dropping in my home. Thanks
Another great job Ethan!
Thank you.
I have 22 year old Peachtree doors with worn door sweeps. Do you have a link for the Stanley press in sweeps? I cannot find these anywhere. Thanks!
That works when the floor that the door opens up on is level or lower. If the floor is higher, the sweep binds on the floor. You might address that.
How about a basement door 🚪 air and bugs mice go under my door and bad part is underneath door it has cement concrete
How does the vinyl hold up to the concrete slab? I outfitted my door with a nylon brush sweep because like you I didn't want to install a threshold. But this winter has gotten really cold and I feel I may need to swap it out for something more air tight like the vinyl one.
Thank you tHC! From the bottom of my basement!

Omg thank you! Your videos are so helpful!
Thanks for the Video! I've had a huge gap in my front door & couldn't figure out what I needed to buy to keep Bugs & Lizards out.

What about the threshold with the rubber in the middle? Do I just replace the rubber ?
Can you install the aluminum + vinyl flange on the exterior of the door only? As in, the one you installed on the exterior to cover the gap of light still coming in; Could you hypothetically install the initial (single) flange on the exterior side (without anything attached to the interior)?

I just used a u-shape one like @1:35 but it’s so tight when moving the door. Will in break in??
