on 2010-08-30I was very skeptic about this product because the picture was not clear (especially the fins part that goes into the door frame grove). My existing fixture has two pairs of fins whereas this one has three pairs of fins. Anyway, I ordered with optimistic hope. It was delivered in just two days. I could fix it in my door frame within five minutes and all is well:)

on 2010-07-10Overall, excellent fit for my two Stanley entry doors. I had been trying to get a replacement for the latch side from the company that bought Stanley's entry door business (Masonite), but I was told they don't sell it separately.
The latch side and the header pieces were exact, the hinge side was slightly different. After removing the old latch-side piece with some pliers, I tried to push in the new section, but it would not go in all the way at a few points. After examining the kerf cut into the door's frame, I noticed that Stanley had used staples to anchor the old weatherstrip from the outside of the doors' frame during their manufacturing process, and they were still protruding at four points.
I then took an old flat blade screwdriver and tapped the "legs" of the staples so that they were pushed flat against the side of the kerf. The hinge-side kerf also had four staples, and the header had three staples holding the old weatherstripping in place. After pushing all those staple legs flat against the sides of the kerfs, everything went very smoothly.
I used the old weatherstripping to cut the new weatherstripping to length (a good heavy pair of scissors made quick work of this task,)and pushed the new weatherstripping into the kerf, which holds very well.
One installation tip for anyone who has the Stanley door: don't fully seat the bottom 12" or so on the latch-side. On my doors, there is a hard foam rubber "bumper" at the very bottom of the kerf that actually causes the bottom corner of the latch-side of the door to be pushed out. If you fully seat the weatherstripping at the bottom of the latch side, there is a chance you'll have to pull it out about an 1/8th of an inch (as I did). So, out of the three "ribs" that insert into the kerf, only insert two of them on the bottom 12" or so of the latch side - the door itself will insert it to the proper depth.
The hinge side is not magnetic, it is a compression-type that caused quite a bit of resistance the first time I closed the door. I thought it might rip, so I "lubed" it with a silicone spray (I didn't want to use a petroleum-based product that might break down the vinyl). I don't know if that was really necessary, but I feel better for having done that.
Overall, I'm very satisfied, though I was a bit shocked at the box it came in: an eight-inch square box that was SEVEN FEET IN LENGTH.

on 2010-02-12The old weather stripping on my Anderson Steel door was cracked and split on the door handle side. The remaining stripping appeared to be in good shape. I ordered this product. It was easy to replace. Just removed the old stripping with a pair of pliers. Cut the new stripping to the desired length and pushed the beveled end into the kerf. I used a few taps with a rubber mallet to completely set it. It works great. I have no idea why there are complaints about it's magnetic strenght. If the door is square it works perfectly. I also have the added benefit of having an extra for the top and side which I stored under a bed in a spare bedroom.

on 2010-01-23I looked everywhere for this for my Stanley steel clad door. Nobody carried it. Tried Amazon and lo and behold they stock it themselves. Saved again.

on 2009-12-13I have a Stanley steel entry door and this weatherstrip was the perfect replacement. Once I used a pair of pliers to pull the old one off, the installation of the new weatherstrip was far easier than I thought it would be --- just press the saw-tooth section into the doorway kerf and I was done. Now I don't see daylight between the door and door jamb.
