Default weatherstripping - door jamb problem


"Zz Yzx" wrote in message
...
My wooden entranceway door jambs have a kerf to accept the
weatherstripping. But the kerf seems too large (1/4") and the
weatherstripping doesn;t stay in place. I haven't seen any
weaterstripping at HD or Lowe's that is made for such a large kerf.

Is there a simple fix? A product?

Thanks a heap,

Other replies seem to indicate that those were in fact made which I did not
know.

Try folding a piece of electrical tape or a 1/2 wide strip of duct tape over
the edge that inserts and see if that doesn't tighten it up enough to make
it stay in place.

I would test in on a small section before I applied it to a whole strip.
