Best Door Draft Stopper Home Depot – We have a door to the balcony from our kitchen. We just bought this condo last year and had our first winter here last year when we noticed something was wrong with the closing. The door cabinet gets cold and looks like what the previous owner put in there isn’t good enough for our Montreal winters. From December to March, we spend below 0 degrees. About -5C to -12C for those months.
Anyway, now here’s a video where you can see how I pull the door shut from the outside with this flexible sponge that feels like a sponge wrapped in some kind of nylon that shows how loose it is. And here are a few shots of how the bottom and corner of the door is insulated. You can see how the insulation at the bottom of the door is a form of permanent compression.

The front door is metal and it conveys the cold effectively, the coldness of the hole is the humidity of the house, which meets the cold surface.

So we replace that restrictor and install the appropriate rubber. Do you recommend something special or something that is thick enough that the door closes without extra tension but still seals the frame?
And as for the knob, I guess a scientific question, how do we get the door warm? Or do people live with this thing?
I have seals on my doors that don’t work, I tell you if I can find a fix I break them every year and I can’t say this piece of junk is better than that piece of junk.

You can cover the outside knowledge hose with bib insulation. But I am not sure if they are very effective. They are cheap and non-perishable and easy to try.

Go back and place a still image of the door closed. The door lock must be locked when the door is closed. Is it a fixed door?
It doesn’t sound like a solid door. And for undressing, that’s my point in my video that things only get heavier when you pull the door shut than outside. So it basically just sits there, it doesn’t really block anything.

The weather-dried should compress and form a seal when the door is closed. From the photos and videos provided, it’s hard to tell what’s going on, but it looks like they’re leaking.
But before you search across the province to find the exact same weather, you have to ask yourself if it’s the first weather or the first thing the guy got from Canadian Tire. The door sweep doesn’t really look original.
Instead of blindly trying to find similar things, you need to ask what best fits the geometry of my door/

Click to expand… I have no proof of this other than how other things were handled in the apartment, but I’d put a lot of money on “the first one someone finds”. I’ve lived in an apartment all my life, I’ve used many different strippers, and this stripper has never pressed properly when the door is closed. A basic understanding of how doors close and if you’ve ever experienced stripping in your life can tell you right away, “No, those things didn’t press properly.” It is misplaced when you have made a strong seal. In fact, the door rests on top of the attacker just to prevent that from happening. I think they thought it was meant to sit against the door and not get crushed by closing it.

As for the sweep, I don’t see it doing what its installer thought it was intended to do. It makes a lot of sense to me – not being a DIY expert anyway – that it was used as a way to add a few millimeters to the bottom of a door that was probably set too high on the jamb.
I’m trying to find some kind of picture/video to show what the base looks like. Some kind of cross-sectional view or something.
Okay, wait… I didn’t understand why you were talking about injecting silicone. This is entirely my fault. When I said “silicone removal” I was talking about removing the d-shaped rubber with the glue you put on the door frame. I don’t know why I called it silicone when ignoring meant removal.
