This garage door threshold from ToLanbbt forms a watertight seal that keeps out dust, dirt, debris, blowing leaves, and rain. It features a grooved base that forms a tight bond between the threshold and the garage floor, making this product ideal for use on concrete, asphalt, and painted and treated surfaces. The rubber threshold also boasts anti-slip ridges and a bright yellow safety strip across the entire length to make it easier to see in dim lighting conditions. Close of gaps and get a tight seal on your garage door by installing a garage door threshold kit. The Threshold Kits are easy to install, and come complete with threshold, adhesive, and instructions. The threshold is adhered to the floor where the garage door comes down. If you have an uneven floor that causes larger gaps in different areas of the door, you can offset the threshold installation so that the peak of the threshold meets the door at the high gap areas and the smaller gaps line up with the narrow part of the threshold.

Common materials used to make a garage door threshold include aluminum, rubber, and vinyl. Aluminum creates a durable, stiff frame that resists shifting and can be secured to the bottom of the garage door. Rubber and vinyl are both the primary materials to make the threshold seal. These materials are waterproof, flexible, and durable, so they can withstand the weight of the garage door while keeping out water, dirt, and pests. Protection The purpose of a garage door threshold is to protect the garage itself and all the tools, appliances, vehicles, and other valuables contained inside. This generally refers to keeping rainwater, standing water, or melting snow from running into the garage and flooding the floor, but protection doesn’t stop there.

Most threshold installations are installed with the hump on the inside of the door, so that the ramp part of the threshold is outside the door. During heavy rain the water will run down the door and away from the garage because of the threshold. Not all installs are equal, if you lay out the threshold and installing it with the hump just inside the door doesn't fix your problem, then you can install the threshold where the door comes down centered on the hump, or with the hump on the outside of the garage door. You should be able to determine the best install once you lay the threshold down before applying adhesive. Despite the robust resistance to temperature, this garage door threshold is easy to cut with a utility knife, so the 20-foot length can be reduced to the appropriate size for the garage door opening.

To help avoid this problem, as well as issues with blowing debris and pest infestations, choose a garage door threshold that has the proper size proportions for the garage opening, watertight protection, and a soft but durable construction that will secure the garage without damaging the door through regular use. Keep reading to learn more about these and other important factors to consider when choosing the best garage door threshold. Height Garage door strip replacement isn’t difficult.
