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 RP141 to lay flat preferably in sunlight until RP141 is level along full length. Apply suitable weights to hold RP141 flat along full length in step 9. Please refer to the door manufacturers door closer adjustment instructions before installing the RP141 threshold seal. Manual door close latching may require adjustment.
