Default need help finding replacement door bottom

I have two different door bottoms that need replacing; Home Depot and
Lowes do not carry the type I need. But I'm having a difficult time
finding the correct door bottoms. Both doors are standard,
approximately 35 25/32" X 1 9/16".


Found a name plate on the hinge edge of one door and was able to order
an exact replacement on line.


Any door markings have been painted over.

If you can't make do with any of the standard replacements that HD and
Lowes carry, then the original manufacturer is your best bet.


If I knew who manufactured the door(s), I'd be set!



Well, if you can't see any markings on the hinge side of the
door then it is NOT a rated door and wouldn't have any info
on it... You would be looking for a raised metal tag nailed
to the door if it is wood or riveted if it is metal...

Home Depot and Lowe's don't sell EVERY item in the home
repair universe... You should seek out experts in door and
window installation to answer this one, you should be able
to find one or two in your area listed in the phone book...

Failing that, you would want to look for a commercial
construction company that deal with installing storefront
systems, as they know where the supply houses are that
sell all sorts of various gaskets and such that Home Depot
has never even heard of and certainly will never sell...
