How to use
Clean and dry the bottom of the door, especially if the edge is smooth and flat. Cut the black silicone strip to the door width if needed (it is about 5 cm × 1 m / 2 in × 39 in), peel off the backing and press it along the base so the seal closes the gap. No screws or tools are required. Open and close the door to check it does not catch.
