How it works

Measure and select

We measure the door width, check the floor clearance and select the right sweep type for the door and floor material.

Fit and fasten

We trim the sweep to length, position it so the seal just touches the threshold and screw or clip it into place.

Test the seal

We close the door and check for light and airflow at the bottom — a properly installed sweep shows neither.

We can help

Problems we fix

Sweeps installed too low that drag on the carpet and wear out quickly
Sweeps too short for the door width, leaving gaps at one or both ends
Automatic drop sweeps that don't trigger reliably because the cam roller is misaligned

Door Sweep Installation — FAQ

What's the difference between a door sweep and a door seal?

A door sweep attaches to the door face or bottom edge and seals against the threshold. A door seal attaches to the frame and seals against the door face or top/side edges. Most drafty doors need both.

Can you install a sweep on a door with a tile floor?

Yes. We select a sweep style with appropriate clearance to avoid dragging on hard floors, which would damage both the floor and the sweep.

Will a door sweep stop insects from coming in?

Yes. A properly seated sweep eliminates the gap that insects, mice and even snakes use to enter. It's one of the most effective pest-exclusion measures for a home.
