What to look for
- daylight around the edges of the closed door
- drafts, dust or rain coming in at the edges or under the door
- seals that are cracked, flattened, torn or missing in places
- a door bottom or sweep that no longer touches the threshold
- pests getting in under the door
Why it is worth fixing
Worn seals let outside air, water and dust in, and let heated or cooled air out. Replacing the seals is usually much less disruptive than replacing the door.
What to include in your request
- which doors are affected, and roughly how many
- photos of the gaps and the existing seals, including the door bottom and threshold
- whether the doors are metal, glass or wood, if you know
Please do not send passwords, door or gate access codes, alarm codes, key numbers or key cutting (bitting) codes, or photos that show them. We do not need them to review a request.
