Having installed one of these today, I would further state: 1. Don't cut the door seal to the exact width of the door (frame to frame), you need to cut it a few millimeters shorter for the non-hinged side of the door. If it's flush with the door, you won't be able to shut it without the door seal or aluminum rubbing against the frame. 2. When securing the door seal with the screws, I recommend securing the hinged side of the door first as this will give you a little wiggle room if the other side is too close to the door frame (also it will give you a better guide if you have to trim any extra off). If you start the other way, you may have a gap at the hinged side.
Mate this was short, sweet and straight to the point. Very clear instructions and nice camera work to show us the positioning as well as the installation. Keep up the great work!
You explained that very clearly. I am having to replace my old Raven door seal which has been fantastic until the spring mechanism rusted away. After nearly 20 years of use I'm not complaining. Thank you for reminding me how to install the new one.
Big Thanks mate....from upstate N.Y. USA...Looking at RP60 also, to see which one works for me I worked for 2 different Australians In 2 different ends of the Country. (San Fransisco...then Corning N.Y.) Pure Luck. If you are not Ausie, .... Oops I got the accent wrong.
Not concise. He made very rookie mistakes. You learned how to do it wrong in this video. 1:35 You cut it on the WRONG END. Whenever cutting things like this you should always cut on the side that is less seen , where people will notice a non straight or not factory cut. 3:52 Also you put the cam on the WRONG SIDE. For the same reasons but adding that the side you put it on can very from season to season, cold or height temps.

@@lmcc8798 Well, you may not like it but it still remains that the 'handy' stuff is usually done by the men (the husbands). Just deal with it. But just because someone says they're a single mum, it doesn't mean they're stupid or not capable, far from it. It demonstrates they want to give it a go, to be independent, to do what 'hubby' would usually do. No greater feeling than being industrious and autonomous. As for the 'badge of honor' comment, I don't see how that is relevant.
Will it work for a double door which both doors close in the middle, ie the stopper on the door frame will be on the opposite side, not on the side the door swings to close
Hi, that’s very strange that Lowe’s and Home Depot don’t sell them. I couldn’t find them on amazon either in Canada. Might be a market for you to look into and become rich 👍. If I find the product I will let you know. Thanks
Great video! Sadly my door gap is 20mm, and i cannot find the same product to suit such a large gap. There is a sweep version but no video likes yours on how to install
Can I use this seal to help protect the bottom of the door? I have some very small water damage on the bottom and I will sand and re-paint it but hoping to get this to help protect the bottom of the door.
This was a great video!! Might have enough room on the inside of this for a line or 2 of spray foam too, maybe a more appropriate mod for the winter climates
It wouldn't affect anything with the aesthetics since you can't see the foam ( it's sprayed on the inside of the hinge where there's a bit of a gap ) If you think the base model is not appealing they come in different colors to match your door. It's extremely practical for what it's designed to do which is keep cold air and pests out
@@JumboJambalaya Yet your crybabyass cared soo much, enough to comment. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂. I made an opinion comment. It is not a Dick so don't take it so hard.
It’s sold on most hardware store in Australia and New Zealand, I also couldn’t find it in most other countries , good product to introduce into other countries 👍👍👍
No, you need a weather seal that has a button on one end that gets pushed in when the door shuts. Cowdroy make them, cut to size, cant remember the model number. Don
I was intrigued, but it looks like maybe it could too easily get damaged by either stepping on it, or kicking or hitting the cam with something you are carrying or moving, not sure about this one. Also about wear on the cam. Idk no sweeps last forever, this may have a shorter than normal life idk.
Yes, that's right. I installed one of these today. I read the instructions which said to leave 3mm on the closing side of the door. However, I followed the advice on this video instead (to cut the door seal 'frame to frame'') and found that I had to cut some more off as the door seal scraped up against the door frame. It was a bit annoying actually. I should have stuck to the instructions.

Thanks for the video. Instructions on the box are crap. Always good to see and follow someone else.
Great video - I am rubbish at this sort of thing. Seeing how it is done is so much easier than reading the instructions.
Mate this was short, sweet and straight to the point. Very clear instructions and nice camera work to show us the positioning as well as the installation. Keep up the great work!
You are a God send! Keep up the invaluable work!
Thank you so much for the video...I am really a beginner and was able to do it easily with the help of this video.. Massive thanks again 🙏

Still the go to man, Billy boy. You're a legend, great informative video.
On ya Billy 👍 just about to install one. Love your vids mate
I was looking for exactly something like this . Thank you so much
Excellent took me 10 minutes bill. Well done
Useful video mate thanks a lot for this, didn’t think they’d be hard to install but a video always helps suss it out. Well done.

You’re welcome 👍
You are a genius sir

i don't see how being a single mom is relevant, nor is it a badge of honor.

Hello, dose this product works on USA made enters door?
Wow what a brilliant Tutorial .. Thanks so much
Anyway to provide a link? I’m in America but really need this for my basement door!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Much appreciated.
You’re welcome 👍
hi where do I get the cam lock? where I live there's this raven product but not the cam lock
Great video!!
bill have you got a link too where a guy can get this ,never seen one like that here in canada? i like it .great videos mate keep them coming

Do you know of a Northern American version of this product? I don't see it on Amazon and it's what I need..
Thanks mate, very helpful.
Thank you!
do you have any link where to buy it online?
I've never seen that before! Nice.
Great video! Sadly my door gap is 20mm, and i cannot find the same product to suit such a large gap. There is a sweep version but no video likes yours on how to install

nice! Just got these from the bunnings, thank u for the instruction video
Can I use this seal to help protect the bottom of the door? I have some very small water damage on the bottom and I will sand and re-paint it but hoping to get this to help protect the bottom of the door.
If you use the Raven RP3, yes, it should protect from water damage. We are installing one to stop water coming in under the door during hard rain.
Very nice.
Legend m8 - appreciate the vid!
You’re welcome 👍
Thanks
Great video, thanks mate, I am going to do it today, just wondering is this one also works for keeping rains out ?
Thanks for sharing
Can these door seals be attached to Aluminum doors?
Sure can
This was a great video!!
Might have enough room on the inside of this for a line or 2 of spray foam too, maybe a more appropriate mod for the winter climates
That is a bad idea. It will make it look uglier than it already is.
It wouldn't affect anything with the aesthetics since you can't see the foam ( it's sprayed on the inside of the hinge where there's a bit of a gap )

@@scarlettuwu9582 yeah different models that would look equally ugly. Again I'm commenting on the bad idea of spray foam.

Thanks. Out here in the USA
@@GustavoSellsOC I bought a similar product from Shell Lumber called MD flex o matic door sweep
Can you do this on French doors ? Putting the cam on the inside / hinge side edge ?
No, you need a weather seal that has a button on one end that gets pushed in when the door shuts.
Cowdroy make them, cut to size, cant remember the model number.
Don
Hi,very useful video but unfortunately I can’t find it to buy it in Uk, anybody know from where can I buy it
Exellent video, cheers!
👍
How about exterior swing-out door? Will this type of door seal work? thanks
put this on the inside, but it might not seal as well because of the angle.
You don't even need this type of seal. If the door swings out, all you need is a regular type of door sweeper/seal.
I was intrigued, but it looks like maybe it could too easily get damaged by either stepping on it, or kicking or hitting the cam with something you are carrying or moving, not sure about this one. Also about wear on the cam. Idk no sweeps last forever, this may have a shorter than normal life idk.
Hi, I install them on a regular basis with no issues 👍
@@billshowto thanks so what do you think about durability?
If the plastic cam broke you could probably just screw a small piece of wood to the frame it's just to push it down to make contact with the ground
Were do you get that
Hardware store ( bunnings )
Its easy for you say, don't tell that to my Mrs.
The leading corner of the weather seal, scrapes the door stop when opening and closing the door.
Yes, that's right. I installed one of these today. I read the instructions which said to leave 3mm on the closing side of the door.

This would be great if the camera moved slowly. I am still motion-sick from watching this!
