M-d Building Products 06197 Drip Cap Door Bottom

Product Description

The M-D BUILDING PRODUCTS 06197 is an extruded aluminum drip cap door bottom designed to seal the gap between the bottom of a door and its threshold. At 1.75 inches wide and 36 inches long, it features a U-shaped vinyl insert that compresses against the threshold surface to block air infiltration and moisture intrusion. The aluminum body carries a powder-coated bronze finish for corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. Slotted fastener holes are built into the profile for straightforward positioning and field adjustment during install. Fasteners are included in the package.

This drip cap door bottom is suited for residential exterior door applications where weathersealing at the door base is needed. It is a common solution on entry doors, back doors, and utility doors where air and water infiltration are ongoing maintenance concerns. Installation requires no special tools and is within reach of general contractors, carpenters, and experienced DIYers performing door weatherization work.

Installation Notes

This door bottom is typically installed by carpenters, general contractors, or qualified DIYers as part of door weatherization. Before installation, ensure the door is closed and stable, and clear the threshold surface of debris or old sealant. Use the slotted holes to align the drip cap flush with the door face and adjust the height so the vinyl insert makes consistent contact with the threshold without binding door operation. Trim to length with a hacksaw or metal-cutting blade if the door width requires it.
