The South Tabor Neighborhood on Powell Blvd. on snowy day in February…

…when we were asked to come out and inspect these double-entry storefront aluminum doors.

The complaint…was that this wintery weather was finding its way into the interior of the building. And the above photos illustrate the reason why.

This photo is showing that one of the doors is setting considerably more towards the interior than the other door.

And this photo further illustrates how askew this same door (yellow-lines) is sitting as related to the threshold (red-line).

And the yellow-lines in this photo identifies the reason why. The door has somehow been bent. If you enlarge the photo, you might gain a slightly better view of the bent door-stile.

Unfortunately, our technician failed to acquire photo documentation of the process whereby we restored the bent door, but suffice to say we have devised a process to effect that type of repair on-site.

After which we provided and installed some Pemko 18041DP Meeting Stile Weather-Stripping on the interior side of the doors. Usually, meeting stile weather-stripping would be…

…installed on the exterior (shown above), for reasons we won’t delve into here. But as the above photo shows, the proximity of the exterior pull-handles made an exterior application somewhat untenable.

But the “soft-brush” version of the 18041DP product makes the interior application possible. Note: The absence of light between the doors.
Oh yes, we also provided & installed (2) new surface-mount hydraulic door-closers.
