Md Building Products 06155 Aluminum Drip Cap Door Bottom

Product Description

The MD BUILDING PRODUCTS 06155 is a silver aluminum drip cap door bottom designed to seal the gap between the bottom of a door and the threshold. It blocks drafts, moisture, and dust from entering at the base of the door. At 1.75 inches wide and 36 inches long, this profile installs along the exterior face of the door bottom to direct water away from the threshold and prevent it from working under the door. The aluminum construction resists corrosion and holds its shape under repeated door cycles. Installers trim the length to fit doors narrower than 36 inches using standard metal shears or a hacksaw.

This drip cap door bottom is suited for residential and light commercial exterior door applications. It is commonly installed on outswing and inswing entry doors where water infiltration at the door base is a concern. Finish carpenters, weatherization contractors, and general contractors typically install this type of product during new construction or as part of a door retrofit or weatherproofing service call.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or general contractor using basic hand tools including metal shears, a hacksaw, and a drill. The door does not need to be removed in most cases, but it should be fully closed and stable during measurement and fastening. Follow local building codes for exterior door weatherproofing requirements. Avoid over-driving fasteners into the aluminum face, as this can distort the drip cap profile and reduce its effectiveness.
