M-d Building Products 48996 Door Sweep 2x36 Inch Satin Nickel

Product Description

The M-D BUILDING PRODUCTS 48996 is a heavy-duty exterior door sweep designed to block dirt, drafts, and moisture at the door bottom. Built from sturdy aluminum and vinyl, this sweep measures 2 inches wide by 36 inches long and finishes in satin nickel. The vinyl seal portion runs 1/8 inch thick, providing a consistent compression seal against the threshold. Weighing under 1 pound, it is lightweight enough for single-person installation. This is a straightforward upgrade for exterior door bottoms where energy loss or weather intrusion is a concern, and it is appropriate for both residential service calls and light commercial applications.

This door sweep is suited for installation on exterior doors in residential and light commercial settings. It is commonly used on entry doors, side doors, and garage service doors where drafts, dust, insects, or moisture infiltration are present. The 36-inch length fits standard door widths and can be trimmed to fit narrower applications. The satin nickel finish coordinates with common door hardware finishes found in residential construction.
