Author Topic: Looking for fuzzy door weatherstrip...? Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-03-2014 02:12 PM                        I am looking for some of this stuff that goes into the slot on our outside doors. I guess it's weatherstrip but I can't find it listed anywhere under that name. I'm not sure of the brand of doors we have. Anybody ever see this stuff or know a source for it? The last time we got it, which was about 20 years ago or so, I think it came in an 8 foot length and we just trimmed to fit.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Taylor Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 601 From: Chatham, NJ/East Hampton, NY Registered: Apr 2000 posted 09-03-2014 02:35 PM                     If you're stumped you might try looking for a Kawneer dealer, or Kawneer themselves. They're the biggest manufacturer of those aluminum doors and may sell the material or put you on to someone who does. Good luck.  |  IP: Logged Rick Raskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1100 From: Manassas Virginia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 09-03-2014 03:26 PM                     Maybe these guys have what you need: web page  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 09-03-2014 03:39 PM                        The guy who installed the doors will have replacement fuzz. Probably not available at Home Depot; commercial grade.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-03-2014 03:46 PM                        I looked at the Kawneer website but the stuff we have has a flat plastic backing; the Kawneer stuff seems to have a thicker backing that goes into a deep slot on the door. As you can tell, our doors have a shallow slot -- the plastic backing just slides under the edges of the slot. I seem to remember that they ARE Kawneer doors though, so maybe they have changed the design. Actually the site Rick recommended has the closest-looking stuff I've seen...maybe I can get them to send me a sample. Thanks Rick. Louis - I have no idea who installed the doors, it was 34 years ago. The guy is probably dead by now!  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 09-03-2014 03:51 PM                        Have you tried asking a glass shop? There are three or four outfits around here that make custom windows and doors; if I was looking for that stuff I would be asking them about it.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-03-2014 07:09 PM                        We're having a bit of work done on some of the windows upstairs -- I will ask that guy about it. He's pretty good at tracking stuff down.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Kane Film Handler Posts: 74 From: corpus christi, tx Registered: Jun 2011 posted 09-03-2014 07:27 PM                     This stuff?
