Does anyone have any recommendations for a door sealing kit? I'm more concerned with quality and ease of installation than price.. Is it easier to install prior to installing the prehung door?
I'd try ZERO International Inc. I just ordered kits for two doors with Automatic Bottom Seal... Will let you know how they work out. Jon Frost Meow Mix Easthampton, MA
Hi Jon - where did you purchase it from? thanks!

Prehung? I guess you can get a solid prehung, right? To answer the question, hanging the door then doing the seal install is typical and allows more flexibility to mate the seal with any sweep movement of the door or irregularity in the door surface. It's also just plain easier to do ;)

Thanks! Yeah, actually I can get a pre-hung solid wood door from a lumbar yard cheaper than most pre-hung (non-solid wood) from your regular lowes/home depot..
