Floor-mounted threshold seal Weatherstrip Profile

What this profile class means

Profile family: Garage threshold
Profile subtype: Floor-mounted threshold seal
Common application context: garage door
Contact mode: compression against door bottom
Seal body: rubber/vinyl threshold body
Mounting interface: adhesive / floor mount

Raised sealing body is bonded/fastened to the floor rather than attached to the moving door.

Common terminology that may lead to this class includes: garage threshold, threshold seal, floor threshold. These terms are discovery clues only; they do not prove fit.

Identification order

1. Confirm the installed location and motion: garage door floor interface.
2. Identify the mounting/receiver interface before judging the outer body shape.
3. Inspect an end-view cross-section and note orientation, mirrored/asymmetric features, fibres, chambers, leaves/flaps, carriers, or fasteners as applicable.
4. Measure the critical fields below using the the measurement datum and tool-resolution rules and preserve uncertainty.
5. Compare only against records with compatible interface geometry. Treat visual similarity as a clue, not as compatibility evidence.
6. Keep product identity and replacement fit as separate claims under this evidence policy.

What to measure

• threshold width — capture as an observed/measured field; do not invent a value.
• height — capture as an observed/measured field; do not invent a value.
• floor-mount method — capture as an observed/measured field; do not invent a value.
• door contact location — capture as an observed/measured field; do not invent a value.

Also record the measurement tool, resolution, repeated readings where practical, sample condition, original reported value/unit, and measurement notes. If a critical field cannot be measured safely or reliably, leave it UNMEASURED rather than guessing.

What not to infer

Do not call this a bottom-retainer insert; it is a separate fixed component.

Additional guardrails:

• Do not infer brand/model compatibility from a family name or silhouette.
• Do not infer a universal dimension from terms such as “kerf,” “T-slot,” “pile,” “bulb,” “sweep,” or “felt.”
• Do not infer material composition unless it is marked, directly observed at the generic class level, or source-backed.
• Do not publish a fit/supersession statement without explicit authoritative evidence for that relationship.

Evidence and provenance

This page uses source-backed profile taxonomy, measurement rules and evidence boundaries. The site structure does not broaden the scope of the cited sources or establish exact replacement fit.

Integration note

Use the Weatherstrip Reference exactly as written. Do not create an alias page for the common terms above. Any original illustration used on this route must remain labelled “Reference graphic — schematic, not exact product depiction” unless a later exact record binds geometry to evidence.
