Looking for a kerf weatherstripping that matches picture. The kerf opening is rather large...about 3/8", and having trouble finding a kerf that fits this wide opening. Thank you.

Thanks for contacting us, Mike. I don't think this exact seal is made anymore, but I believe you can use our 58-169 as a substitute. The major difference--and benefit--of this product is that it installs using nails. This allows you to position it to the precise position you need for the best seal. It also means it can work on just about any door, assuming it's made of wood. Look it over and let me know what you think.

Thanks Tom. Does the nail flange lay flat on face of the trim with the flange? Is that how you would nail it in? or does it go into the kerf?

Thanks again Tom

You could potentially do either, assuming you had the room to do so. That's the beauty of using the 58-169: It's very versatile. If you think you can sneak it in the kerf and nail it in there, then I think it'd be worth a shot.
