Pemko - 18100CNB36 Door Bottom Sweep, Clear Anodized Aluminum with 1" Gray Nylon Brush insert, 0.25"W x 1.875" H x 36" L

I live in a 2 story house and my lower level of the house gets really dusty and the floors get covered in a thin layer of dirt. I realized that dirt was coming in from the bottom of the front door. There was a gap that would get a tiny draft and dust would come into my house. I was also having ant issues during the summer when the LA heat was insane, and ants would somehow be able to crawl through the tiny gap of the door. These two issues were driving me insane and I needed a cheap solution asap. This door sweep is PERFECT. My floors aren't as dusty, and the ants cannot penetrate the bristles of the sweep. I also love that when the door opens and dust does come in, the door sweep acts as a broom and pushes dirty right back out. I also have cats so it also helps sweep cat hairs that are around the front door where my pets like to hang out. It's easy to remove the cat hair too which is nice. It also keeps my house warmer during the winter time so cold air isn't coming in from the front door. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who is slightly interested in getting this product and has any doubts. This is the worth every damn penny I spent. It's high quality, easy to install. and exceeds my expectations.

I specify Pemko products in my line of work, so it made sense to use it for my own home. Easy to install and it works great. Keeps the drafts, bugs and whatever you don't want out of the house. We live along a windy street, so it blows hard and we use to find bugs, leaves, etc get blown in under the door. You have to cut to fit if your door is a little under 36" wide. Easy enough if you have a hack saw or jigsaw. If you have a crimper, you can crimp the metal ends of the nylon brush to ensure the bristles do not unravel and fall out. Otherwise some Gorilla glue or a generous amount of sealant or super glue will do the same but will not be as permanent a solution. I have since bought two more and will be installing at my other entry doors.

We have an area rug and other rubber sweeps would catch and make the door SO HARD to open and close. This works great and is far easier to open and close the door. It still is stiff but so much better. The only complaint is that after a week of opening and closing the door the sweep started to slide out of the channel in the aluminum bracket. I had to take a hammer and tap the ends to create a stop that would not allow the brush to slide out. Other than that it does work well, very happy.

It's well made, but not good for a carpet floor, tends to bind in the opposite direction, probably good on a hard surface

We used this on an entrance door to our high rise condo. Cooking and smoking odors, breezes and sounds were filtering in under the door. Since we have a small area rug in the entrance hall, most door sweep and foam insulation would not work. We thought we would five this a try. It arrived quickly. It fit the door width perfectly. The grey color is very unobtrusive. An because it has bristles, it goes over the entrance rug with no difficulty. Most importantly, it absolutely blocks the smells, sounds and breezes. For our purposes, it works perfectly.

*Updated* We installed this just a few days ago, so I will update my review if needed... but so far this door sweep has been pretty impressive, so I'm writing a review. Before installing this sweep, we lined sticky nontoxic spider traps on the inside of our front door to see if that might be part of why we have had such a horrible spider problem. Sure enough, we caught a cricket, a spider or two, and even a cockroach within a few days time. So gross. (Side note: don't rent a basement apartment.) So we took out the old rubber sweep and installed this one. We kept the sticky spider traps in front of the door to continue to monitor. Nothing so far, except for the huge wolf spider that ran in literally as soon as we opened the door, like it had been trying to get in and couldn't. Thank goodness it ran into the sticky trap waiting for it. Hoping this sweep continues to be awesome! Update: Sad to say, but a brown recluse was able to make its way through the bristles and into the sticky spider trap waiting for it on the other side. Ugh! The sweep has been an improvement, but I'm going to knock the rating down to 3 stars.

I extracted the brush part from the metal holding so I could cut the thing down and bond it to the door frame. It works very well on 3 different doors and keeps unwanted bugs from entering the room. Also does a good job on uneven floors to keep the draft out. I like the fact that for one of the doors I used this on, the bristles of the brush sits smooshed against the uneven floor and yet is completely fine when the door opens. The bristles doesn't permanently change shapes... yet... for now, it's perfect.

High quality sturdy aluminum frame, and the bristles are held in place by a very stiff piece of twisted metal wire. Much more rugged/durable than the plastic sweep it's replacing. Was easy to cut to size with a hack saw (for the frame) and lineman pliers (for the brush). Easy to install. The design is great for cases where a door has to open over an area rug. In my case, the bristles are set even with the tile floor but have no problem clearing a 1/2" mud rug that the door swings over as it opens.
