What weights can the thresholds withstand?

Our garage door thresholds have been designed to be durable and can be safely driven over with many domestic vehicles. If you require something more heavy-duty, our commercial door thresholds are constructed of aluminium and can withstand much heavie

What type of door can the products be used on?

GaraDry's garage door thresholds can be used on both manual and automatic up-and-over, sectional, roller shutter and (outward opening) side-hinged garage doors. They are also suitable for use on commercial roller shutters. In addition to this, our th

What surfaces can the thresholds be installed on?

Our garage door thresholds are suitable to install on most solid, non-porous surfaces. This includes concrete, epoxy, paved, and asphalt/tarmac surfaces. The floor should be in good condition prior to installation. The threshold seals are not suitabl

Where is the garage door threshold installed?

Our garage door thresholds should be installed behind the garage door, so that the door closes against the seal. This will create the best seal along the full width of the garage door, and prevent water and other debris from being blown underneath. F

How long does the adhesive take to dry?

How long our GaraDry® adhesive & sealant takes to dry will depend on a number of factors, including temperature, humidity, etc. For this reason, we recommend leaving the threshold for 24 hours or overnight before driving over it to ensure the adhesiv

Will a GaraDry Threshold Seal Work on an Uneven Gap?

If you have an uneven gap under your door, you will still be able to solve any issues of water or debris entering the garage with one of our Flood Barrier Thresholds. Our Flood Barriers are made from flexible PVC and therefore can be curved or bowed

I have 2 garage doors, can I order a long threshold and cut in half?

Yes you can choose to do this. The threshold can be cut with a hacksaw or sharp knife and therefore you can order a longer length and use it to seal multiple doors. Please make sure you order enough length. If you have two doors, both 8 feet wide, yo

Do you provide corner sections for your seals?

We do not have any pre-made corner sections but you can cut the threshold seal at a 45 degree angle and join the seal together using the included GaraDry adhesive to create a watertight corner. This can also be done with the commercial aluminium seal

Are samples available?

We do have limited amounts of some samples available, which we can provide to you for a small fee to cover the shipping cost. Please contact us at [email protected] for further information.

Can the threshold seal be too high?

Due to the threshold being installed tight behind the garage door, it will close along the front of the threshold seal rather than on the apex. This means it will never be too high and it should not impact the closing/opening mechanism. The extra hei
