OT: Entry door weatherstripping

David Hay @ Denver

>The weatherstripping on our front door needs replacing. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, I'd just buy something appropriate and install it. However this door seems to be somewhat non-standard. The door frame is kerfed, to accept the weatherstripping...however it uses a non-standard kerf size...somewhere in the 1/4 to 3/8 inch wide range, as opposed to the standard 1/8 inch kerf most new doors have these days.

So my question is this: Does anyone know of a source for weatherstripping that fits a kerfed door frame with this size? If not, any suggestions on how I might either fill the kerf completely or reduce the kerf to the standard 1/8 inch so I could use existing weatherstripping?

Thanks!

David

>David Go to www.conservationtechnology.com they have a pretty good selection of weatherstriping. Also could you just put an 1/8" filler strip in the strip channel. Just experiment with the size of the filler befor you glue it, and very little glue. Larry in NW Ohio
