M-d Building Products 05389 Aluminum Vinyl Door Sweep 2x36 in

Product Description

The M-D Building Products 05389 is a heavy-duty door sweep designed to seal the bottom gap of exterior doors against dirt, drafts, and moisture infiltration. Built with a sturdy aluminum body and a flexible vinyl sealing fin, this sweep delivers durable perimeter protection suitable for residential and light commercial applications. The vinyl sealing element measures 1/8 inch thick, providing a firm, compressible contact with the threshold surface. At 2 inches wide and 36 inches long, it fits most standard single exterior door bottoms without cutting, though it can be trimmed to width when needed. Weatherization contractors, carpenters, and skilled DIYers are the typical installers.

This door sweep is suited for exterior door bottoms in residential entry doors, storm doors, and light commercial doorways where weather infiltration, dust intrusion, or conditioned air loss is a concern. It is commonly applied in new construction weatherization, retrofit energy upgrades, and door replacement finishing work. The 36-inch length accommodates standard door widths, and the aluminum extrusion provides a finished appearance on the interior door face.

Key Features

• Combined aluminum and vinyl construction for rigidity and flexible sealing contact
• Vinyl seal thickness of 1/8 inch for firm threshold engagement
• 2 inches wide by 36 inches long — fits most standard exterior doors
• Blocks dirt, drafts, and moisture at the door bottom
• Heavy-duty build rated for exterior exposure conditions

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount door bottom sweep for standard exterior hinged doors with a flat or near-flat bottom rail. No specific model or brand compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, weatherization contractors, or qualified DIYers using a drill, screwdriver, and a hacksaw or metal snips if trimming to width is required. Close the door and mark the sweep position so the vinyl fin makes light contact with the threshold before fastening. No special trade license is required, but installations on fire-rated doors should comply with local building code requirements for door assembly integrity. Avoid overtightening fasteners, which can bow the aluminum extrusion and reduce seal contact.
