Why Install a Door Seal Strip?
- Energy Saving
Seals gaps to prevent unwanted air exchange, making HVAC systems more efficient and cutting energy costs. - Moisture Control
Maintains consistent indoor humidity, reduces mold risk, and enhances comfort. - Noise Reduction
Blocks drafts and outside noise, creating a quieter environment for work and rest.
Tools & Materials
| Tools | Materials |
| Tape measure | OKIN rubber door seal strip |
| Flathead screwdriver | |
| Utility knife or scissors | |
| Fine‑grit sandpaper | High‑strength adhesive (if required) |

Preparation
1. Remove Old Strip & Clean Surface
- Pry out the old seal with a screwdriver.
- Sand away residue, then wipe clean and let dry.
2. Check Door Hinges
- Lift the door by its knob—if it shifts, tighten hinge screws or insert wood plugs.
Accurate Measurement
- Measure the gap width between door and frame, and the frame thickness.
- Measure the total perimeter of the frame and add ~5% extra length for safety.
Choosing the Right Seal
| Material | Pros | Cons |
| Rubber | Durable; excellent sealing | Slightly harder to install; higher cost |
| Foam | Lightweight; easy to apply | Less durable over time |
Step‑by‑Step Installation
1. Cut to Size
- Trim seal strip to measured length. Test‑fit on the frame.
2. Apply Adhesive
- Self‑adhesive type: Peel backing and stick firmly.
- Non‑adhesive type: Apply high‑strength sealant, then press into place.
3. Press & Secure
- Apply even pressure along the strip to eliminate gaps and bubbles.
4. Install Door Sweep (Bottom)
- Cut to fit. Attach via screws or self‑adhesive backing to seal the floor gap.
