Description

A garage door bottom seal with a 3/16" bead on each end that slides into a bead style bottom retainer. Typically about 3" wide. Long wearing, flexible vinyl (PVC) that stays flexible to -30°F.

What you get: 1 piece in the length you pick, cut 2 to 3 inches long so you can trim it. Retainer and screws not included.

Match the End Profile Exactly

Pull a few inches of your old seal out of the track and look at the cut end. It must have a 3/16" bead on each end, like the one shown in the photos. Width can vary a little, but the end must match. Bulbs, T ends and triangle ends will not fit. We carry 5 seal profiles; if yours doesn't look like one of them, you need a different seal.

Have a Wayne Dalton door? Many use a smaller faceted bulb, not a bead. Compare the end closely.

Fits: Clopay, CHI, Midland, North Central, Garaga, Overhead Door, Ideal, Raynor, Martin, Ankmar, Genie and some Wayne Dalton models.

Specifications

  • End: 3/16" bead
  • Typical width: about 3" laid flat
  • Material: flexible vinyl (PVC), stays flexible to -30°F
  • Lengths: 8, 9, 10, 12, 16, 18 and 20 ft

Not sure? Send us a photo of the cut end of your old seal and we will tell you which one you need.

Compatibility

Some compatible brands: Clopay, CHI, Midland, North Central, Garaga, Overhead Door, Ideal, Raynor, Martin, Ankmar, Genie and some Wayne Dalton models.

Seals vary even within the same model, so always check the end of the seal on your door now.

How to Pick the Right Seal

  1. Slide a few inches of the old seal out of the end of the bottom retainer.
  2. Compare the cut end to the close-ups below. This seal has a round 3/16" bead that tapers into the flat strip.
  3. If your end is a faceted bulb or a flat T, pick that seal from the chart instead.
  4. If it looks like none of these (for example a triangle end), this seal and our other seals will not fit.
  5. Measure your door width and pick that length or the next size up.

Seal end close-ups to scale: faceted bulb about 1/8 inch, 3/16 inch bead, flat 1/4 inch T, flat 5/16 inch T

How to pick a garage door bottom seal: check the end shape, measure the bead or T, then measure the door width

Instructions

Installed, both bead ends slide into the bottom retainer and the seal loops down to the floor, ribs facing the ground. Compare this to your door before you remove the old seal:

The seal ships a little long. Leave about 1" extra on each side, then trim.

How to Install a Garage Door Quieting Kit: Complete Guide

We've found that replacing the majority of the hinges and installing the rest of the kit does a pretty good job of silencing the door without needing to deal with that bottom roller. If you really feel it needs to be changed, we have a separate process for that, but it's not necessary for most installations.
