M-D Building Products 05546 36 in. Silver Aluminum and Vinyl Drip Cap Screw-on Door Sweep

Liked very much

This aluminum strip with vinyl insert works well for sealing the space between a door and its threshold. Installation is tricky as in most cases the door must be trimmed to create the proper gap between door and threshold. Otherwise it is a straightforward job. Hopefully the vinyl insert can be bought separately. If so replacement of a worn strip is very easy.

Great price on a very effective drip cap. Easy to install. The vinyl seal works well. Very pleased.

I only used the metal drip guard and removed the vinyl strip as it wouldn't work with my door and step set up. Wish it came in gold tone but settled for the silver. It has rained hard several times since installing and the inside floor is staying dry now.

This drip cap was not delivered as shown. What was delivered was a similar one with the vinyl seep connected to the upper underside of the drip cap like a less expensive but of similar quality. No bar as shown. Sight would not let me send a comment on the product detail correction.

What is shown in the photo is not what you get. Look at the engineering drawing and you will see how they do not agree. I'm sure this works fine, but I needed (for very specific esoteric reasons that would only apply to me) what was shown in the picture.

As advertised!

It served this purpose

Bought this because the snow and rain were causing the bottom of an exterior steel door to deteriorate. Over the years moisture had rotted the wood that held the sweep in place. Repaired that but wanted to stop water from contacting the wood again. This worked great. It has a vinyl gasket under the metal which helps to keep melting snow and ice from contacting the bottom or leaking under. I had considered installing a screen door but they swing out and that's a problem after a heavy snowfall and I need at least one door to use as an exit. Also, the vinyl gasket in this item is replaceable if it ever wears out.

It was what was depicted and described. Cut to fit and was exactly what I needed.

Item is not as pictured, at all. If you need something that mounts directly on the bottom of a door and creates a seal against a threshold or floor surface, this isn't it. This is a door sweep with a single flap of vinyl and an aluminum drip cap, and it's intended for mounting on the outside facing edge of exterior doors. The pictured seal is not what you will receive. That said, if you are not looking for the item pictured, and are instead looking for the item described, this is at least a product of good quality. It just isn't the product in the photo.
