The largest opening to seal on a door is between the bottom of the door and the floor or threshold below. The most effective way to isolate this opening is with the ADB Mortised or ADB Surface. The ADB stands for automatic door bottom with automatic referring to how the auto door bottom will raise or lower the auto rubber door seal as the door opens or closes. The metal plunger on one side of the automatic door bottom seal comes in contact with the door jamb as the door opens and closes. This function will keep the rubber seal from dragging across the floor, prolonging the life of the rubber and allowing the door to open and close smoothly without additional closing force.

What separates our automatic door bottom seal from others available is the uniform seal pressure across the entire bottom of the door along with the double rubber seal. The double rubber seal creates a 3/8" dead air space increasing performance significantly over solid rubber or foam auto door seals.

There are two styles of the auto door bottom seal, the fully mortised (ADB Mortised) and surface mounted or semi-mortised (ADB Surface). The performance and function of these two styles are the same, only the installation and appearance are different.

Each ADB ships with the required fasteners along with full installation instructions from the manufacturer. A brief description of each installation can be found below.

ADB MORTISED

The ADB Mortised is installed in the center of the bottom of the door. When installed, it is not visible from either side of the door and only a small amount of rubber drops beneath the door, typically around 1/4" to 3/8". Several small screws are provided to attach the ADB Mortised into the bottom of the door slab.

ADB SURFACE

The ADB Surface is installed on the surface of the door slab between the door stops. You can also semi-mortise the ADB Surface by recessing the door bottom into the door with one side of the door bottom flush with the door slab. When installed, it will be visible from one side of the door with the rubber dropping between 1/4" to 3/8". Three large screws are provided to attach the ADB Surface into the slab.
