Our high-quality automatic door bottoms seals are made from extruded aluminum and combined with silicone, closed cell sponge neoprene, felt or brush inserts to form a perfect seal. The seal is established when the plunger is depressed against the door frame, stopping the transfer of air, sound and light. When the door is opened, the seal immediately retracts.
All our automatic door bottoms seals are easy to adjust, and are reversible, making them suitable for both right and left-handed doors. Stainless steel screws are included for assembly, to ensure every component of the product is durable and long-lasting. Some products are designed to be surface mounted or semi-mortised, and others are designed to be mortised into the door. The maximum effective drop is 5/8” (15.9mm) to 11/16” (17.5mm).
Intertek has certified all of our automatic door bottoms, Clean Air Gold, and the majority have been fire rated for up to 1.5 hours. Many finish options available.
Product Description
Our Automatic Door Bottom utilizes a flat spring mechanism, which activates when closing the door, lowering a neoprene seal insert against the floor or threshold to create a sound seal. These are for use on the push side of the door. The frame compresses a protruding hinge-side “plunger” as the door closes, to activate the spring. The Automatic Door Bottom then drops a seal in a scissor-like motion from the hinge side, adjusting to the floor from a pivoting point. As the neoprene seal compresses, it forms a tight, secure seal against the saddle or floor. The sweep retracts automatically as the door opens.
Our Automatic Door Bottoms can be made to fit any sized door up to 48″. We offer a surface mounted unit, as well as a mortised and semi-mortised version. Surface mounted bottoms install without removing the door from its hinges. Semi-mortised bottoms may require door removal if the door does not have a cut out. Mortised bottoms will require removal of the door prior to installation. These door bottoms are available with a clear anodized aluminum or dark bronze anodized aluminum finish.
Automatic door bottoms are often used in conjunction with door jamb seals and thresholds or as an Door Seal Kit.
