Definition
The flexible vinyl or rubber seals around your garage door: a bulb-shaped bottom seal that compresses against the floor, plus stop molding along the sides and top. Good seals keep out rain, wind, leaves, and the mice that go looking for warmth every Four-State fall. Cold winters crack and flatten old seals, so daylight showing under a closed door is your cue. Seal replacement is inexpensive, and it is a standard checkpoint in every Door Serv Pro tune-up.
