Installation Instructions:
1. Clean and dry the area where the Garage Door Seal will be installed with
rubbing alcohol. All dirt, water, mud, oil and other debris must be removed.
Prior to installing the Door Seal in cold temperatures, we recommend bringing
the complete Door Seal kit indoors for a minimum of 30 minutes. This will
allow the Door Seal and adhesive to reach room temperature.
2. In order to help the Door Seal lay flat during installation, re-roll the Door Seal
in the opposite direction, starting at the center of the coil.
3. Lay the Door Seal down on the concrete, with the ramp area positioned
towards the inside of the garage. (See figure 1). Next, close the garage door
from the inside of the garage. Then, slide the Door Seal under the garage door,
towards the street, until you achieve a snug fit. If the Door Seal needs to be
shortened or cut to fit, use a hacksaw or a utility knife.
4. Using a pencil or chalk, draw a line on the concrete along each side of the
Door Seal. (See figure 2). Next, move the Door Seal to expose the garage floor,
between lines.
5. Apply the adhesive to the floor, in three
1
⁄4" strips. Apply one strip down the
center and the other two strips
1
⁄2" in from the outer edge. (See figures 3 & 4).
6. Carefully position the Door Seal between the lines on the concrete.
7. Firmly press the Door Seal into position. Excess adhesive can be wiped away
with mineral spirits or toluene.
8. Close the garage door and leave it closed for 24 hours. This will maintain
continuous pressure on the Door Seal and allow the adhesive to bond.
The Garage Door Seal should be mounted only on a clean, dry, surface.
Adhesive must be applied at temperatures above 40°F (5° C).
