I have a standard steel exterior door (36"w X 80"h) with no manufacturer markings on it. I want to replace the old compression style weatherstrip with a new magnetic style. The door jamb has a 1/4" wide kerf cut for the weatherstrip "tang" to seat into. All of the replacement weatherstrips that I find (HD, Lowes, Menards) have a 1/8" thick barbed "tang", so they will not securely seat into the jamb. Can you give me any suggestions on finding a magnetic replacement that will fit this wide kerf, or modifying the kerf to accept the thinner "tang"? Thanks!!!! Joe E

Hi all, I'm looking to install a door from my kitchen into the office. No door currently exists here. I'm really only looking for something temporary (2 years) and then I'd like to remove it. I only need this until my daughter gets a little older (I work from home). The goal is improve sound reduction and get it so she can't see me working (it's a distraction to both of us! :)) Now, [B]first question[/B] - is there any easier doortype I can install and achieve my goals? I considered a folding door, but I'm not so sure how good that would be with sound reduction. How easy are those to install anyway? [B]Second question[/B] - if I do choose to install a door, I'm guessing I may have no choice but to go with a prehung door. It's an existing entryway, so there is already trim around the opening and extra wood around the inside of the door as well (entry jamb?). I believe I'll need to remove all of that before installing the door. The opening dimensions currently are: * 79" height across the entire width of the door * 36" width near the top of the door, gradually increasing to 36 1/2" near the bottom of the door. I'd love to install just a door (not prehung), but getting the right size will be hard (getting it cut right + getting a door slightly bigger than 36"). I only like this idea because I can remove it later with no problem and get back to the original look quickly. Is this out of the question? [B]Third question[/B] - If it is out of the question, can I easily square this opening and fit a 80"x36" door? The height has me somewhat worried, and I'm guessing I'll need to trim the door, if possible, or buy a custom one. Any other comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
