We had a big gap under the door coming into the house from the garage—the air conditioning (and heat in the winter) escaping under that door was not only very inefficient, but it was also attracting flies into the house where the temperature is more comfortable for both humans and flies!
I read a lot of reviews and selected this particular door sweep because I wanted commercial grade—nothing flimsy, or attached with adhesive to fall off. I am very pleased with this one.
What I like:
Both the aluminum and the rubber are very sturdy to last a long time.
It was advertised for high traffic areas. We come in and out of this door frequently and so wanted a quality product, attached securely.
It was easy to install with 4 provided screws. I just had to mark a line at the desired height across the bottom of the door, mark the drill holes, and drill pilot holes for the screws.
This door sweep comes 36” wide, but my door is only 32”. I was able to use a hacksaw to easily cut the aluminum strip, neatly. I cut the end that’s on the hinge side of the door so that the slightly rough (cut) end would not be exposed. I was also able to use a pair of scissors to cut the rubber to size. I cut the rubber slightly longer than the aluminum.
This comes pre-drilled with 4 holes—that’s good, except that I cut the 4th hole totally off when I cut the length from 36” to 32”. I was able to easily drill a new hole, so that I still had 4 holes, evenly spaced, and I was able to use all 4 of the screws they provided.
What I don’t like is minor:
The holes in the aluminum did not quite line up with the holes in the rubber. That’s not a big deal, since I simply drilled a new hole through the rubber and the old holes do not show, since the rubber is inserted into and behind the aluminum. It was just an extra step.
The seller’s product photo does not give a good view of the entire door sweep—it shows only 2 pre-drilled holes but 6 screws, giving the impression that there could be 6 pre-drilled holes. There are actually 4 pre-drilled holes in the 36” door sweep, and 4 screws are provided. If you have to cut down the length to fit your door, you will likely cut off one of the pre-drilled screw holes like I did, and so you may need to drill a new hole if you want to attach the door sweep with all 4 screws.
Once installed, this door sweep is a perfect fit to prevent the A/C from escaping and to prevent the flies from coming into the house. It is also a BARGAIN at the $10.62 I paid. Others are triple the price.
Overall, I am really pleased with it and do recommend it. I took several photos to show you how strong and secure it is and how well it seals the gap under the door.
I write honest reviews to help others make informed purchases because I read reviews myself and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope that my review helped you!

About us
It all began when L.A Macklanburg and his wife moved to their new Oklahoma City home in 1919. Prompted by the need to keep cold winter air and summer dust and dirt out, L.A. Macklanburg built the first weatherstripping in order to keep the elements from coming under his front door. Seeing an opportunity, he built a brass-folding hand-crank weatherstrip machine and took it to the Oklahoma State Fair in early July 1920, and thus a new entity was born.

Although the holes were a bit off on the rubber part, it was easy enough to install. I do wish they had more options, as this one was a bit short and left a small gap on the bottom, which almost defeats the purpose of having this installed in the first place. I don’t love it but also don’t want to go through the hassle of uninstalling this, returning in, and drilling additional holes in my door.
