Tools and Hardware Reviews of M-D Building Products 1610 Steel Door Magnetic Weatherstrip, 36-by-81 Inches, BeigeCustomer Review: Almost perfect OEM for Stanley entry door. Summary: 5 Stars
Overall, excellent fit for my two Stanley entry doors. I had been trying to get a replacement for the latch side from the company that bought Stanley's entry door business (Masonite), but I was told they don't sell it separately.
The latch side and the header pieces were exact, the hinge side was slightly different. After removing the old latch-side piece with some pliers, I tried to push in the new section, but it would not go in all the way at a few points. After examining the kerf cut into the door's frame, I noticed that Stanley had used staples to anchor the old weatherstrip from the outside of the doors' frame during their manufacturing process, and they were still protruding at four points.
I then took an old flat blade screwdriver and tapped the "legs" of the staples so that they were pushed flat against the side of the kerf. The hinge-side kerf also had four staples, and the header had three staples holding the old weatherstripping in place. After pushing all those staple legs flat against the sides of the kerfs, everything went very smoothly.
I used the old weatherstripping to cut the new weatherstripping to length (a good heavy pair of scissors made quick work of this task,)and pushed the new weatherstripping into the kerf, which holds very well.
One installation tip for anyone who has the Stanley door: don't fully seat the bottom 12" or so on the latch-side. On my doors, there is a hard foam rubber "bumper" at the very bottom of the kerf that actually causes the bottom corner of the latch-side of the door to be pushed out. If you fully seat the weatherstripping at the bottom of the latch side, there is a chance you'll have to pull it out about an 1/8th of an inch (as I did). So, out of the three "ribs" that insert into the kerf, only insert two of them on the bottom 12" or so of the latch side - the door itself will insert it to the proper depth.
The hinge side is not magnetic, it is a compression-type that caused quite a bit of resistance the first time I closed the door. I thought it might rip, so I "lubed" it with a silicone spray (I didn't want to use a petroleum-based product that might break down the vinyl). I don't know if that was really necessary, but I feel better for having done that.
Overall, I'm very satisfied, though I was a bit shocked at the box it came in: an eight-inch square box that was SEVEN FEET IN LENGTH.
