Dunnage doors are frequently used as temporary doors that the more discerning contractors use to secure a house or building until most of the heavy construction is finished.
This is to protect the permanent doors from the potential nicks and scratches that can come when subcontractors come through the openings carrying tools and materials.
On this new house near Lewis & Clark College, the time had come for us to install the permanent doors, while weatherstripping them at the same time.
Anodized bronze aluminum interlocking thresholds.
Cutting the door-bottoms for the proper clearances relative to the thresholds…
…and installing zinc or brass interlocking weatherstripping hooks has become a lost skill by and large.
These doors were specified to be weatherstripped on the top & sides with silicone compression weatherstripping. Brandon kerfs a door-jamb for the silicone weatherstripping.
