I recently had to deal with gaps in my garage door, and it was a frustrating experience. Drafts and pests were getting in, and it was affecting the temperature and air quality in my garage. So, I did some research and found out how to seal the gaps in my garage door.

Here is my personal guide from Garage Door Repair on how to seal garage door gaps:

The first step I took was to identify where the gaps were located. I found gaps on the sides and bottom of the garage door. Once I knew where the gaps were, I made sure to clean the area thoroughly to ensure that the sealant would adhere properly.

The next step was to measure and cut the weatherstripping to the appropriate length. I used foam weatherstripping, which I found was effective at sealing the gaps in my garage door. I applied the weatherstripping carefully to the gaps, pressing it firmly into place to create a tight seal.

In addition to sealing the gaps on the sides of the garage door, I also installed a threshold seal at the bottom. This was especially effective at preventing drafts and pests from getting in. The threshold seal was a long strip of rubber that I attached to the bottom of the garage door. It created a barrier that helped to seal the gap between the garage door and the ground.

After sealing the identified gaps, I checked for any additional gaps that may have been present. I found some gaps around the windows, so I repeated the above steps to seal them.

Overall, sealing the gaps in my garage door based from Garage Door Repair was a relatively easy and inexpensive DIY project that I was able to complete in just a few hours. It made a significant difference in the comfort and security of my home, and I no longer have to worry about drafts or pests getting into my garage. If you’re dealing with gaps in your garage door, I would definitely recommend taking the time to seal them properly. It’s a small but effective way to improve the quality of your home.
