The Automatic Door Bottom utilizes a concealed flat spring mechanism which is activated upon opening and closing of the door. A brass plunger is compressed when the door is closed to automatically drop the seal, starting from the hinge side first. The seal is raised when the door opens. This motion ensures a smooth drop without a drag, even on an uneven surface. It is compatible with a door saddle or against the floor. The door bottom is built from durable materials that are meant to last. It has been tested through 5 million cycles!

Automatic Door Bottoms are available with three mounting options: Surface Mounted, Semi-Mortised and Fully Mortised. A surface mounted application can be applied without removing the door from its hinges. For a semi-mortised, if the rabbet in the door is cut-out already, the door does not need to be removed. For a fully mortised application the door should be removed before starting. |

Great product!
Excellent product. This is my third purchase of the Zero automatic door bottom, and the first that will be mortised into the bottom of the door. Well made of quality materials
This seal is amazing, the 1" drop allows for a very tight seal when the door closes. The Neoprene seal feels and works very substantially and blocks plenty of air from traveling. I really liked the product. Our clients love this unit. #sweepstakes. We ordered two 36in units and they fit perfectly. PSM Construction Services, SoCal
I built a solid wood door for my basement wine cellar. I bought the mortised automatic door bottom seal to avoid arc scratches where the door opens over our hardwood floor (that would be caused by a traditional door sweep). It was fairly easy to install once I cut the mortise channel in the door bottom. It operates smoothly and creates a near perfect air seal to protect our cellar conditions.
I can't say enough about the effectiveness of this product.
