What is a garage door bottom seal?

The rubber strip under the door.

It’s the strip of rubber along the bottom edge of the door that presses down on the floor when the door shuts: the bottom rubber, or the weather seal, as hardware stores call it. After some years of sun, grit and being driven over it goes hard, cracks, shrinks back from the ends and stops touching the floor. This kit is the replacement: an 80 mm EPDM profile, deep and soft enough to take up a 35 mm gap and follow the dips in an uneven slab, in a heavy-duty aluminium track that screws straight over the old carrier. The single kit covers doors up to 3 m wide, sectional or roller. The full explanation, door dams included, is on the garage door bottom seals page; for the top and sides, see the sectional and roller door brush seal kits.

What it fixes, and what it can’t

Everything that comes in under a garage door; honest about pooling water.

Water running in along the floor after a storm, a line of dust and leaves just inside the door, a slab that dips or a door hung a little high, and the mice and cockroaches that use the gap under the door. A rubber sitting down on the floor closes the gap they all use, as long as it’s 35 mm or less. What it can’t do is beat gravity: if the driveway falls towards the garage and water pools against the door in heavy rain, a seal slows it and a drain, or a door dam used together with our rubber, fixes it. More on water.

How to fit it

About an hour, and the screws go into the door, not the wall.

Switch the opener off at the wall first. The new track screws over the old one, so there’s nothing to take off the door, and the screw holes go into the door, not the wall.

About an hour’s work: pull the old rubber out, screw the new track on (four or five screws a length, the last length cut to fit), feed the rubber in from one end without stretching it, trim it flush and check for daylight along the floor. You’ll need a drill or impact driver, tape measure, hacksaw or grinder and a sharp knife. The video shows every step; the written steps and the printable guide are on the install guides page. Rather not? We fit it for you in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane from $249.

Questions about bottom seals

The ones we’re asked most about this kit. More on the bottom seals page and the FAQ page.

Will this stop water coming into my garage?

Water running in under the door, which is where almost all of it comes from, yes, as long as the gap is 35 mm or less. Water pooling against the door on a driveway that falls towards the garage is a different problem: a seal slows it, and a drain or a door dam used with our rubber fixes it. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you which you need.

What’s the rubber strip on the bottom of my garage door called?

The bottom seal, though it goes by plenty of names: bottom rubber, rubber seal, floor seal, garage door weather seal or weather strip (what most hardware stores call it), and door sweep in American guides. Whatever you call it, if it’s the strip that sits on the floor when the door is down, this is the replacement.

How do I replace a worn bottom seal?

If your door already has our track, choose rubber only: pull the old length out, slide the new one in and trim it. If it has another brand’s track, a damaged one or none at all, choose the full kit: the new track screws straight over the old one, the rubber slides in, and most people finish in about an hour. The video and printable guide above show every step.

Will your rubber fit my existing track?

Only if the track is ours. Our rubber is made for our aluminium track; other brands use different profiles, so it usually won’t slide into theirs, or won’t stay put if it does. It’s the most common ordering mistake we see: rubber only, then a second order for the track. Not sure what’s on your door? Email a photo of the end of the track before you order.

My door is a bit wider than 3 m. What do I order?

The double bottom seal, which covers doors up to 6 m wide: you cut the last length of track to fit and trim the rubber to match.
