A simple DIY garage door seal which fixes flat to the floor (adhesive supplied) to help keep your garage clean and dry.

The RP133 Garage Door Threshold Seal is suitable for all types of garage doors.

Installing the RP133 Garage door seal for Roll-Up Doors (Automatic and Manual door close latching)

NOTE: Prior to installation, the concrete floor surface must be cleaned thoroughly to remove dust, oil and grease. If the floor is painted, wire brushing where the seal is to be installed will ensure best adhesion. (A good quality caulking gun is required for adhesive supplied) Prior to step 8, roll out RP133 to lay flat preferably in sunlight until RP133 is level along full length. Apply suitable weights to hold RP133 flat along full length in step 9. Please refer to the door manufacturers door closer adjustment instructions before installing the RP133 threshold seal. Manual door close latching may require adjustment.
