The Exitex Concealex Facefix Automatic Door Bottom Seal is designed for homeowners and contractors looking for an efficient way to seal door gaps without the need for complex door routing. It provides excellent draught, smoke, acoustic, and fire protection by automatically lowering a seal when the door closes, though users should note that the surface-mounted design remains visible on the door face.

Due to its face-fix design, it is user-friendly and can be installed by someone with basic DIY skills, though precise measurement is critical.
Yes, it is suitable for both single and double doorset arrangements.
The mechanism provides a maximum drop of 14mm.
Yes, it is made of self-extinguishing co-extruded thermoplastic and is fire-rated for 30 minutes.
While the aluminium is durable, it is generally recommended to keep the mechanism area clear of paint to ensure it operates smoothly without sticking.
Measure the internal width of your door frame and choose the closest size; the unit can be trimmed up to 150mm on the non-plunger side.
Adjust the plunger screw on the end of the unit to increase the downward travel distance.
The seal may be lowering too soon or with too much pressure; adjust the plunger to delay the activation slightly.
Check the self-levelling adjustment to ensure the seal is not obstructed and can pivot freely.
Installation is straightforward due to the face-fixing method, which eliminates the need to remove or route the door. Ensure the door is measured accurately before purchase. If the seal is too long for your specific door, it can be trimmed by up to 150mm from the end opposite the plunger. Regularly check the plunger to ensure it makes firm contact with the door frame or stop upon closing. The unit is low-maintenance, but you should occasionally wipe the aluminium housing with a damp cloth to prevent dust buildup that could affect the mechanism's smoothness.
