Troubleshooting
Draught excluder not sealing properly
Ensure the bristles are making full contact with the floor. If the door has significant unevenness, the brush strip may need to be adjusted or a different type of seal considered. Check that the strip is securely fastened to the door.
Bristles are bent or damaged
Minor bending can often be corrected by gently warming the bristles with a hairdryer (on a low setting) and holding them straight until cool. If severely damaged, the strip may need replacement.
Screws are difficult to fasten
If fastening into a hard material like metal or dense wood, pre-drilling pilot holes slightly smaller than the screw diameter can make installation easier.
Product is too long for the door
The brush strip can be cut to size using a hacksaw or appropriate cutting tool. Ensure cuts are made cleanly for a neat finish.
