Garage THRESHOLD install

- Here installing garage thresholds to prevent water ingress. Should have done this years ago. Most of the time it rains and snows, water runs not just under, but mostly around the garage door seals. This is a simple and cheap way to prevent water, dirt and insects from coming under the seals or around the edges of the seals. Turned out to be a lot easier than I thought it would be. We bought 2 strips for our 2 doors that measure 10 feet each. Used 2 tubes of the heavy duty Gorilla Glue construction adhesive, and it worked very well (one tube was just enough for each door).

Excellent video. I took the trouble to run a sander with 40 grit paper over the length to clean up 20+ years of slight buildup then came into the house to jump on RUclips to find some tips on what to do next. Your video was my pot of gold! Answered any questions, I may have had, plus I'm even using the same adhesive and rubber seal. Thank you so much!!
Glad it helped you! Sanding is a good idea, I wish I had thought of that. Thanks for your comments and for watching 👍
exactly the clip I've been looking for - thx!
Thanks for including the subtleties and nuances of the installation. I'm getting ready to install my strip, after first trying to build up a berm where the water was entering from one side, using concrete patch, then resorting to sand bags; neither of which worked after experiencing the bomb cyclone this week. I would want the seal to start from the very edges of the strip, so I will apply the adhesive like you demonstrated, as rows running parallel. Thank you for the video.
Good job, the Rooster sound effects was a nice bonus too.
There's a video out that you measure to the outside tracks and cut to that length and then notch the edge to fit around the tracks. But thanks for the viy😊
Thank you for the great directions and tips.
It's still holding 👍
I'm installing mine but using Quad. Heavy duty stuff
Installing mine tomorrow. Exact kind
Good luck! Mine are working absolutely perfectly, no water intrusion at all. And have not loosened up. What kind of adhesive are you going to use?

what can I do if floor is not flat, but crack going down middle which causes one side of garage top be a 1/4 inch lower than the other
You should have installed backer rod and caulked the crack leading into the garage
Thanks for your detailed installation video. My rubber door seal arrives today. Do you think it would have worked well to use a cut-off wheel to remove the bottom portion of door track - just enough for the seal to slip under? Appreciate your thoughts. Thank you!
That's a really good idea, that way the seal could stay intact. Funny thing, I just moved, and my new garage is leaking melted snow in like crazy, I need to put these seals on my garage floor! But it's super cold here , so I'm going to wait till spring to put mine in . Try to do it when it's warm as possible during the day. Thanks for watching, good luck.
@@anesthesiadreamin I wish you great luck with your new home. This is not my original idea, someone suggested it on another RUclips video. It made complete sense to me! I wondered what you thought. I'm going to try it.... Take care and thanks again.
What was the outdoor temp when you installed the door seal?
70°
Lol thanks! We are only in the 50's so I will have to wait to install probably.
@@stevebaretta1 You might find a glue/ adhesive that would work at that temperature. But maybe more importantly is the malleability and flexibility of the seal, so it doesn't recoil or move around after you lay it down. Hey, thanks for watching and bringing up a good point 👍
Any tripping issues?
Not for me,it seems low enough I don't seem to catch my foot on it. However, my low profile steel jack hangs up on it when it rolls over it.
How did the adhesive hold up? I messaged Gorilla and they said their construction adhesive would not stick to the EPDM rubber.
Huh. Mine hasn't moved yet., Even the edges are still stuck down. In fact I was winching in my winch cable across it the other day, and the hook got stuck on it, and it didn't rip it up like I thought it should have LOL. Did gorilla recommend something else of their product line?
@@anesthesiadreamin interesting, no they recommended I reach out to the manufacturer or the threshold for the recommendation of adhesive. I have what you used and thanks what I will be using. Thanks!!
@@BKfiremedic Great, I hope it works out for you as well as it has for me. Can you use too much? IDK, but I wanted to see it sort of just beginning to squish out the edges, so I knew for sure the edges were glued well. But then it leaves a colored seam along the edge of the black seal. Not sure how to fix this, maybe a squeegee? Lemme know if you learn any tricks. Thanks for watching and for the good question!
@@BKfiremedic Garadry makes their own sealant just for this
