Mechanical Door Sweep: Heavy Duty Adjustable Pressure – MDS1000

Mechanical Door Sweep: Heavy Duty Adjustable Pressure

Shown here is a mechanical door sweep on a 4 inch thick door edge, in the up "Door Open" position. This photo shows the pressure adjustable bar screw end. Turning this screw, right or left, will allow you to set the amount of seal pressure that gets applied to your threshold when your door is in the closed position.

Simply turn screw right to extend or lengthen the rod end to allow this rod to hit the striker plate installed on the inside jamb. This pressure allows for a perfect seal to your threshold every time ensuring no unwanted pests or elements enter from under your door seal.

These sweeps are built with the ability to fit doors that are between 3" and 12" thick. These mechanical door sweeps replace the old fashioned, and obsolete rubber drag sweep. An added benefit is it leaves your rug in place when opening and closing your new custom door.

Additional Mechanical Door Sweep Info

Shown in the drawing below the mechanical door sweep in the down "Door Closed" position. When the door is closed, using pressure this mechanism pushes the rubber seal down to meet your fixed threshold to form a tight seal. The old rubber drag sweeps that squeeze under your door, bend and warps over time, and no longer provide a complete seal. The special mechanical door sweep used on our custom doors ensures a perfect seal every time. The illustration below shows how the mechanical door sweeps and threshold form seal.
