Metal door stop strip for metal door frame

We have these metal door frames with the stop portion being a strip of metal that clicks into a channel that runs around the jamb.

The channel width is 1/2" and the width of the door stop itself is 3/4"

There is a little channel on the side of the stop strip material where you can slide in a piece of weather stripping.

I tried searching for "metal door frame stop" and couldn't find anything - perhaps I'm not calling it by it's correct name.

I also looked over the metal frame to see if there was any manufacturer stickers or markings, which there was not.

Any idea where I can find something like this? I need a 4' length of it.

Thanks in advance.

Its extruded aluminum door stop. And you would have to take one off in order to match the profile exactly. It clips into a groove so in order to snap it into place it can't be the slightest bit off, unless you plan to drill it and screw it on.

Typically they do not come with weatherstripping, that is ordered separately.

Here is an example.

If you only need to replace the weatherstripping, you don't need to replace the aluminum stop in order to do that.

Thanks, XSleeper!

Yes I’m aware clipping-in aspect of it. I had to reinstall the top portion.

I’ll remove the top portion to get some pictures/measurements and look around.

Insulate under interior door?

If you can see these this is the interior of the door and it has about an inch and a half space between the door and the sub floor. That's just a piece of wood I put in there to take up some of it. There was a leak from the door at one time but the door was replaced and the sub floor is dry now. Are you supposed to insulate under a door on the inside? Spray foam or something else?

Finally I have the confidence that I can replace the windows. the existing windows are vinyl double hung. I think it will not be too complicated-- take out the trim, remove interior stops, remove the screws , get the window out. However I have two questions-- 1) can I take the window out and measure the current window for most accurate measure? I can also take it to a mom and pop Home Improvement store and let them measure ( those mom and pop stores have more knowledgeable staff) 2) the online instruction says something like parting stop and sash liner. I don't think I see something like this . Removed the trims and looks like I can pull out the whole window , fill some more insulation in the hole in frame and just push another back. Am I missing something?
