I am trying to replace the kerf style weather stripping on an exterior door. I am having trouble finding replacement weather stripping that has a wide enough Kerf. I need 1/4" wide. The groove in the door is 1/4" wide x 1/2" deep. Everything I have tried is too narrow and just falls out of the groove.

I'm afraid this old "bulb" type kerf seal isn't made anymore, which is probably why you've had so much trouble tracking it down.
Is this a wood door? If so, you could use our 58-169 as a substitute. This is a very versatile seal that can work on most wood doors due to its nail-on flange. You can adjust it to whatever position it needs to be in for the best possible seal before nailing it in place.
We also sell the 58-180, which is more or less the same except it installs using an adhesive backing.
