I have a 40" entrance door on my apartment house. The rubber is parcially gone on the bottom. Would like to install a new rubber under edge to keep out the cold. I have checked various hardware stores. Problem is that everybody has 36 inches in stock, but cannot find a 40 inch long strip for the bottom of door. A 48 inch would be fine, then i could cut it off. I donot want to use 2-36 inch. This a cob job as far as i am concerned. Can someone please advise where i can find what i am looking for. Thanks

You'll likely have to go to a commercial door company, most residential products are only 36" max. Or try a building products supplier/lumberyard that sells doors. Those are the things I'd do anyway.

Hmmm...I was thinking more about the slide in type sweeps..or the kind that fit over the bottom of the door.

Gunguy,

I didn't check johnam's link, but Pemco makes (or sells) those too.

slyeastwood will just have to dig around in the site.

PS to slyeastwood -- I'm not sure how or why you arrived at THAT name, BUT YOU BE CARFUL!! I don't know about Stallone, but Clint lives about 70 miles east of me!! His last (as far as I know) kid was born in Redding!! (We got the Hag too -- he's about 5 miles east of me.)
