M-d Building Products 07179 Automatic Door Sweep 36 in White

Product Description

The M-D BUILDING PRODUCTS 07179 is a spring-action automatic door sweep designed to block drafts and air infiltration at the base of residential interior and exterior doors. As the door opens, the internal spring mechanism raises the sweep automatically to clear carpet and floor obstructions. When the door closes, the sweep drops back down and presses firmly against the floor or carpet surface, forming a tight seal. The 07179 measures 36 inches in length and is available in white finish, making it a straightforward drop-in weathersealing solution for standard residential door applications.

This door sweep is suited for residential installations where draft control and energy efficiency at door thresholds are a priority. The automatic raise-and-lower action makes it particularly well-suited for installations over low-pile carpet or uneven thresholds where a fixed sweep would drag or fail to seal consistently. It installs on the interior face of the door bottom and is appropriate for single-door residential entry, interior, or utility door applications.

Key Features

• Spring-action mechanism automatically raises sweep on door open and lowers it on door close
• Seals firmly against floor or carpet to block drafts and reduce air infiltration
• 36-inch length fits standard residential door widths
• White finish suits common residential door colors
• Designed to clear carpet pile without manual adjustment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation door sweep for standard 36-inch residential doors where automatic draft sealing at the door base is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a handyman or general contractor and requires basic hand tools including a drill and screwdriver. The sweep mounts to the interior bottom face of the door and should be positioned so the seal element just contacts the floor surface when the door is fully closed. Verify door clearance over carpet or threshold before fastening to ensure the automatic mechanism operates without binding. No power shutoff is required for this installation.
