Cvis 163 Door Retainer Strip

We will need to see a few images showing us your retainer strip, preferably removed from the door. Seeing it from an end profile will allow us to see its full shape. If you can also provide some measurements, that would greater our chances in locating a match. Thank you.

Hi there, I think I can help with this. These retainer strips are very difficult for us to supply since every manufacturer has their own idea of what shape it should be. Even the same manufacturer changes the style every so often, even in a span of just one year. This makes it hard for companies like us to keep  up.

The good news is that there's a solution that ignores the whole strip issue entirely. We usually just opt for an older and still very much viable method of repair. See our 70-180 clip and then a screw like our 70-112 or 33-020. You can distribute these evenly around your frame and they will serve the same function as the old strip.

Honestly, you may not even need to go that far. You could take the strip you have now and cut it into equal portions, then distribute those evenly around the frame instead. You don't need the whole strip except as a matter of aesthetics.

If you did want this exact retaining strip, you'll have to try to get in touch with the original makers of the door to see if they still have this strip in stock.

I would still make the same recommendations that I did before. If you're uncomfortable using a plastic clip like the 70-180, then you can always cut your existing trim into equal portions like I mentioned and distribute them evenly around the door. That will work just as well and you wouldn't have to spend a dime.
