Front door weatherstripping
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:29 pm
Hi, I'm rather new here and since my hubby does most of the work/repairs, I will probably sound like I have no clue what I'm talking about!
We have a 2002 doublewide; glass storm door and a wood inside door. In our living room (looking at what would be out), you can in places, see light, so I know it is not fitting properly. He has tried to adjust what I think must be a weatherstrip (with a screwdriver I believe) and that has only made it more light, plus our door is harder to lock (no problem with closing). Over the holidays someone commented on needing to weatherstrip it to help keep heat in; but dh said he doesn't exactly know how or what is needed to do this. What product should he get? Or is there an adjustment that could simply be made?
I appreciate any help - our electric bill is high enough now without this here adding to the expense! Thanks!
