commercial door center felt wool needed

Handy Person from Kansas City, MO

I ordered (1) 58-161 : Gray Pile Weatherstrip, 11/32" x 11/32" and it tends to fall out of the groove between the doors. What is the correct part #. The old wool did not have a hard backing and the T was thicker than the purchased thin plastic backing. I would like to order an 6+ foot strip soon.

I also need the aluminum sweeps for the inside of the doors. One is missing, but the wool T is the most important item.

Thank you,

Nathan

Hello, Nathan. I'm afraid I don't know what size wool pile you need. That's only something you can answer at this stage, by measuring the original sample. I'd be happy to review your dimensions once you get them.

As for the sweep, I would need to see a clear photo of the end profile, as well as detailed written dimensions, in order to recommend a match.

The old T is 11mm wide and the old wool is flattened down to 5mm. Here are pictures of it.

Thank you! That's fairly big, but since this is a commercial door that isn't entirely unexpected. The only pile we have whose size comes close would be our 58-050, which is 7/16" wide by 7/16" tall. More precisely, .437" x .450". That's pretty close to what you're working with. Yours seems a lot shorter than ours but that may just be due to compression.

Give the 58-050 a look and see what you think!
