FAQs
How do I select the correct garage door weather seal?
Measure your door width and the shape of the bottom retainer. Then match the seal profile (T-style, bulb, bead) and width to ensure compatibility.
Can I replace just the seal without changing the retainer?
Yes, if the existing retainer is in good condition. Simply slide the old seal out and install the new one of the same profile and size.
Do all weather seals fit any garage door?
No. Weather seals must match the retainer or track style on your door. Always confirm seal profile and measurements before ordering.
How often should garage door weather seal be replaced?
Most seals last 5 to 10 years depending on climate and door use. Replace seals when they crack, flatten, or allow light and water to pass under the door.
