Doors seals (ASI)

Here's my review of these doors seals from: acousticalsurfaces.com
Ok, so I got my doors put together and added the door seals form ASI. The seals work well and are $150 for the full door kit or $50 for the door bottom only. Here's the bad news; Installing these thing can be murder unless the following things are in order. 1) The floor under the door must be really flat-mine was not at certain points in my basement floor and I had to use small wedges to compensate. 2) Do not simply tell them you have a 36" door, you have to measure the opening exactly, and the door bottom needs some extra clearance to fit. I had to do a lot of trimming of the metal which really sucked, and I felt like they should have been more clear about this when I ordered.
When everything is in order installation is simple and fast, and they do work.
