Garage Door Side Seal Replacement in Colorado Springs, CO
Side seals, sometimes called stop molding seals or jamb seals, are the strips that run vertically along both sides of the door frame and press against the door when it closes. When they crack, shrink, or pull away from the frame, you get a channel for cold air, insects, and wind-driven rain to enter the garage. Replacing them is straightforward but it requires the right seal profile for your door thickness and frame type, which varies more than most people expect.

When to Call
When You Need Garage Door Side Seal Replacement
- You can see daylight along both sides of the door when standing inside with the lights off.
- Wind whistles through the sides of the garage door during Chinook events near Manitou Springs.
- The old seals are cracked and brittle and flaking off the door frame in pieces.
- Rain is getting in on one side after storms come in from the west and soak that wall.
How It Works
Our Process for Garage Door Side Seal Replacement
- 1
Frame and Seal Assessment
We check both jambs for the existing seal profile, staple or nail condition, and whether the frame itself is plumb and sound.
- 2
Old Seal Removal
Existing seals and fasteners come off cleanly so the new material lies flat and bonds or nails without gaps underneath.
- 3
New Seal Installation
We fit the correct profile seal to each side jamb, fasten it properly, and trim it flush at the top and bottom.
- 4
Close and Contact Check
The door runs through several close cycles while we verify even contact pressure on both sides with no buckling or gaps.
Colorado Springs Context
Why this matters in Colorado Springs
The sustained winds that come through passes west of Colorado Springs are hard on side seals. UV at this elevation also dries and cracks rubber faster than at lower altitude, so seals that look fine can be fully air-permeable.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Scope is straightforward unless the door frame is damaged or out of plumb, which makes getting even seal contact harder. Rotted wood jambs or bent steel frames need to be addressed before new seals will hold properly.
