FAQs

Does this seal require professional installation?

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.

Can this be used on double doors?

Yes, it is suitable for both single and double doorset arrangements.

What is the maximum gap this seal can bridge?

The mechanism provides a maximum drop of 14mm.

Is the seal material fire-resistant?

Yes, it is made of self-extinguishing co-extruded thermoplastic and is fire-rated for 30 minutes.

Can I paint over the aluminium carrier?

While the aluminium is durable, it is generally recommended to keep the mechanism area clear of paint to ensure it operates smoothly without sticking.

How do I determine the right size to buy?

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.

Troubleshooting

The seal is not reaching the floor.

Adjust the plunger screw on the end of the unit to increase the downward travel distance.

The door is difficult to close.

The seal may be lowering too soon or with too much pressure; adjust the plunger to delay the activation slightly.

Gap remains on one side of the door.

Check the self-levelling adjustment to ensure the seal is not obstructed and can pivot freely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No routing required for installation
  • Effective at reducing noise, light, and draughts
  • Self-levelling feature handles uneven floors
  • Fire and smoke rated for safety compliance
  • Highly durable, tested to 200,000 cycles

Cons

  • Surface-mounted profile is visible on the door
  • Requires manual trimming for exact door widths
  • Specific 14mm maximum drop limit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
