Fixman 447234 Garage Door Brush Strip 50 mm Bristles Aluminium 2 x 1067 mm Aluminium

My garage door has a largish and variable gap beneath it and for years we have been plagued with leaves and dust in the garage. Now I've added a treadmill to the garage I really wanted to keep things far cleaner inside. This product has absolutely hit the sweet spot for value, ease of installation and performance. Of course, ease of installation does require the necessary tools. A drill with HSS bit was required for my steel door and a Dremel was handy to trim the excess inch of width to match the door. A hacksaw would do just as well.

The Product and I ended up parting ways. I knew when I brought the product that the bristles were too long and I would have to trim them. Fitted to the door but a few screws threaded the heads so I drilled a hole for each (nearly losing an eye when my drill bit exploded). Replacement screws to the rescue. Put it up and then that was the point I found out you can slide the brushes out so I thought I’d take them out to trim. Decided to see if I could slide them back in again and the aluminium holding the bristles bent beyond repair with the minimum of force. That was the point I lost my cool and it ended up in the bin. It’s a good product and would have been great but for this crap DIY weakling manchild it was to much to handle.

Easy to install, great job

I purchased these strips to fit on the upper frame of the garage door to stop the dust and draught entering the gap between the frame and roller doors. So far it has worked perfect. The only downside is, I had to purchase two packs (four lengths ) when three lengths were enough. Would use this manufacturer again if required

Installed on a screened pergola with an open side against the house, used as a wind/rain seal. Frequently drenched in rainwater and blown by the wind, but keeps strong and prevents ingress.

Great value and works well now ..... 1. Needed to cut to width of garage door. Make sure you crimp end to stop brush splaying out. 2. Needed to cut brush length from 50mm to 25mm. If length too long auto door closer can’t shut. 3. The brushes are made of very durable plastic and it takes ages to trim. Used scissors but the brushes do a combination of being cut and moving out of the blades. End up with bad hair cut effect. Then used very sharp Stanley knife. Blunted so many blades ! This a war of attrition and very hard to get perfect finish. Consoled myself that this is the bottom of garage door .... get a life 🤪

Just what I was looking for and did the job brilliantly, came in 2 lengths and long enough for standard garage door or can be cut down to use indoors

Does the job. Good price.
