• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Anyone used a drop down threshold seal on exterior door?

It mortises into the door bottom and is hidden. Can't seem to find info about suitability for external exposed door. I have some doubts about a mechanical movement functioning well over time. Something like this.

We have an old system fitted to the interior doors in our Georgian house in the uk, I imagine they are original.
Sorry I haven’t had the need to take one apart— they still work! There is a little bit of wood showing at the bottom of the door in the jamb, about 1/2” x 1/4”.
That’s the full extent of my knowledge lol.
 
Here in southern Spain they are often used and in our climate they are ok.
How they would hold up in an exposed Uk environment I cant say but at a guess with driving rain they might keep out 80%
The ones here are basically a hardish rubber that comes down when the door is closed.
 
I hadn't known about these before. Everything seems to be planted on deflectors and threshold strips over here. I'm genuinely conflicted now about whether to get one. They do seem very neat and slick.
