What's this draught strip thing called and where can I get one?

[Bonefishblues]

I'm just about to remove & re varnish our front door. When it was fitted we had a draught strip installed - a small channel was routed in the bottom of the door and a rubber blade which was mounted in an aluminium channel fitted. The blade and channel is coming out at each end, so ideally I'd like to fit another one, but darned if I can find anything similar to integrate.

Anyone any ideas?

I typed in "draught excluder" and the automatic suggestions thingy added "for bottom of door." That threw up all sorts, but I've no idea if any work.

“Door draught excluder” or “strip”.

I've tried those sorts of terms previously - lots that attach to the rear face of the door, but I can't find anything that rebates into the door underneath?

If you can remove the rubber from the metal channel have a look at classic vehicle parts suppliers (Woolies is one such: https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/?gclid=C ... IIQAvD_BwE)
They have loads of different rubber strip sections for window channels, etc.

There's various door seals not intended primarily as draught excluders, though they do that job well. If you don't have any luck with the specific search, try a more generic "Door seal" or maybe add "perimeter" to that as internal doors will have different criteria.

is there a double glazing works near you. Could be worth giving them a try.

You're welcome. It's the sort of stuff I ought to know, I was at one time a fully certified member of the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI), yes there really is such a thing

I find that strangely reassuring.
