Door Threshold

[ronniecabers]

Right , some of you very knowledgable folks may be able to help me here.
Got a customer who has drafts under their doors, now i'm pretty sure there should there should be a rubber gasket in the metal strip in the attached picture.
Am I right?

The only thing is I don't know who made the door and where to get the rubber strip from

That looks like an old one, Good luck!

You may want to post a pic of the whole door inside and out encase anyone recognizes the make.
The external rubbers on the outside of the bottom of the doors should seal it to some degree but obviously this stops short of the central mullion.

Normally (in modern doors) there would be a secondary rubber flipper fitted to the underside of the doors, Can you see underneath to check if it ever had one and its worn away?

With Liniar you have one of these screwed to the bottom of the door, Maybe you could retrofit something similar.

Hi Gazman,

Yes there is a gasket under the door ( which is also perishing ) , but this seems to fall within the gap in the threshold strip, can't beleive there isn't another rubber to go in that threshold strip....
The windows are at least 20 years old , as they have that horrible black gasket that ' runs ' in water ( got to replace all that too....)

The picture you have for Liniar thresholds is very similiar to Profile 22's , except that rubber keeps ' ripping ' apart too.

Do you think that a rubber strip is missing in my original picture?

Looks like rehau to me, if it is then they have an Ali threshold that looks identical or very similar at least but doesn't show it comes with a rubber, Google search 'rehau 233214/001' , first result and scroll down a few pages to the thresholds
