I've been reading the sticky's, searching on key terms but haven't found the answer to the following question: Has anyone found a cost conscious (inexpensive) magnetic seal for a door? I have seen some very pro looking solutions but mine is a personal studio, not for hire. Money is tight and I would rather spend it on another microphone or reels of tape. What have other people found for magnetic seals for doors?
Nothing much - I saw some rolls of magnetic seal at Home Depot the other day, but didn't have time to check them out much - no "magic bullet" jumped out and bit me on the butt as to how to utilize the stuff. Does it Have to be magnetic? Could you stand to step over a 1x3 board laid flat to enter the studio? Afford $50 for a door closer? Steve
Zero International has magnetic seals availible. I am considering one that also includes the neoprene door seal, the model # is 3708. I have been considering them on a few doors with pull handles on the doors to eliminate the lock mechanism.
Door closers are not an option for me as I don't have the head room for them in the isobooth. How much are the zero international magnetic seals (model # is 3708)?
Checkout their site http://www.zerointernational.com/ they will send you brochures and a retail price list. They sell sound seal products by kits and by foot.
