If you want protection from drafts and cold air, a door swift should be installed on your doors to prevent such breeze from seeping in from underneath your front door. These are simple pieces of materials that are used to block and cover the tiny openings on your exterior door. These are multipurpose in a sense that they do not only prevent cold air from entering the house as they also sweep the floor, and guard the inside against dripping water.

Installing a door sweep can be quite simple and can be done in no less than a few minutes. All you need are some tools and a few supplies required to get the job done. Learning how you can install this simple yet very effective material can be a huge advantage as you can save on your repair expenses as cold air can leave moisture on the hinges, cracks, and crevices of the door.

-Type of Door Sweep – as mentioned above, these are simple materials that ranges in types as these can be pieces of rubber, clothe, plastic, and many other stuff that are effective in doing their function. It is very important to install something that will match perfectly with the design and color of your exterior door in order to add more beauty to the whole establishment. Never settle with materials of cheap quality as you will only end up replacing every once in a while.

-Tools – it is important to have a power tool such as a drilling machine for this job in order to accomplish the task much faster and with little effort. However, if you do not have this type of equipment, you can always resort to using manual instruments to drill and secure the door sweep. Although manual tools are not that difficult to use, you can expect longer working time though as compared to that when using power tools.

-Drill Holes – after you have purchased your door sweep, you can now measure how much of the area you will be covering with the door sweep. After you are done setting up the marks, it is now time for you to make holes on the door where you will be attaching the sweep. Handling of the power tool should be precise and you should be very careful with the equipment as it can be quite risky and dangerous. Make sure that you use a drill bit that is designed to cut into the specific type of material used for the door.

-Attach Door Sweep – secure the door sweep using screws and a screwdriver on each of the drilled holes. Make sure that they are properly fastened to prevent the whole material from falling off whenever you open or close the door. As you attach the sweep, check the position to make sure that it does fall down properly to be able to touch the floor for sweeping purposes.

-Test – try to open and close the door for a while to see if the project was a success or failure.
