Kerf seal on man door help

[s_jepson]

I need to replace the kerf seal on my door before it gets too much cooler. However I can't find the seal I need in town and my Google skills haven't turned anything up. The kerf on my door is 90 degrees from where they typically are. Mine is on the inside of the frame rather than the outside facing the door. Here's a few pictures. I need a seal where the kerf is offset and 90 degrees to the seal. Anyone know where to find it or how to search? I don't know the door manufacturer and I'd rather not use the screw in weather seal strip if I don't need to.



This is what I can find locally.



This is what I need.

Just google "kerf weatherstripping" and select images. Here are a couple of likely matches:

I've done that and found the style you show with the seal in line with the kerf. I need the kerf facing 90 degrees from the seal itself as shown in my third photo.

A major manufacturer of w/s is Q-lon. Another one is Pemko. Q-lon makes a lot of the foam core stuff. I've not seen the style you have but it looks like it would get caught on the hinge side of the door. That's not a slider, is it?

If it's a manufactured door system there should be a label on it somewhere. The manufacturer name is often in code.

Lastly, try the Strybuck catalog. It's not easy to use. There's another called Slideco.

I'll take a picture when I get home of the hinge side but it didn't have any issues getting caught. Its a standard swiNg door not a slider. It actually worked pretty good it's just worn out and cracked.

I checked Strybuc for you and they didn't have it.

 

[s_jepson]

Thanks. I've got to figure something out. I stopped by a builder supply today and they didn't have anything.

Post your location in your info. Someone local to you may be have some knowledge.

I found out the door is a Hager. I found the stamp on the hinge underneath the paint. Hopefully they can point me in the right direction.

No go. They only make and sell hardware to manufacturers they don't make the door.

Right. Hagar Hinges are a standard in the industry and all you found was their mark on their hinge. In fact the door may be a Stanley and hung in a proprietary frame with someone else's w/s product. It's common for this to be the case.

The good news is that an extrusion die for w/s is not cheap to make so someone made thousands of feet of your stuff. Dies do wear out and if there are not sufficient reorders they get shelved. When stock is depleted shops will just go with what's available like the Q-lon which is the most widely used product today.

Oh, I forgot about the 'good news' which is someone may have some NOS somewhere. Needle in a haystack.
