Garage door weatherstripping in Lititz, PA is routine work for us. Local failure modes — openers straining against cold-thickened grease, loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter — are exactly what our trucks are stocked for.
Lititz sits in Pennsylvania's continental-climate region — warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware. That puts real stress on garage door hardware: we routinely see winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time, and doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings, and we fit parts rated to handle it.
From Lititz and the surrounding area, the issues Lititz customers describe are typically openers straining against cold-thickened grease, loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter. We quote flat-rate, fix it in one trip, and back the work for 10 years.
Weatherstripping is the often-overlooked component that determines whether your garage is sealed against drafts, dust, pests, and water. There are four distinct seal locations on a typical door: the bottom astragal seal between door and floor, the side jamb seals between door edges and door frame, the top header seal between door top and frame, and (optionally) a threshold kit on the floor itself. Each wears or fails on its own schedule and contributes to a tight seal.
We replace all four where needed in a single visit. Bottom astragals come in T-style, P-style, and bulb profiles to fit any retainer; we carry all three. Jamb seals are vinyl flap or brush, with the flap style being more common locally. Threshold kits sit on the concrete floor and create a positive seal even when the floor has settled or sloped slightly. Most homes can benefit from at least one of these upgrades.
Typical visit: 45–60 minutes per door. Installation is straightforward — measure, cut to length, fit and secure. The biggest impact is usually the bottom seal, especially on older doors where the original seal has cracked, hardened, or worn through from floor contact.
A pencil-width gap or larger means the bottom seal is worn, cracked, or compressed. Replacement restores the seal.
Drafts in the garage
Air movement around the door edges with the door closed indicates failed jamb or header seals. Side gaps let cold air, dust, and pests in.
Water intrusion during rain
Water under the door during heavy rain points to either bottom-seal failure or a low spot in the floor that a threshold kit can fix.
Pests entering the garage
Rodents, lizards, and insects find any gap. Effective weatherstripping seals them out.
Old or cracked existing seals
Bottom seals harden and crack at 5–8 years. Side and top seals last longer but eventually fail. Visible cracking means replace.
Common causes & what we fix
UV degradation
Vinyl and rubber seals harden and crack under intense sun exposure over years. Replacement with UV-resistant compounds extends life.
Floor wear
Bottom seals contact the floor every close cycle. The seal compresses, deforms, and eventually tears.
Concrete heave or settlement
Floors that have settled or heaved create gaps under the closed door. Threshold kits compensate.
Pest damage
Rodents chew through bottom seals to enter. Once chewed, the seal must be replaced.
Improper original install
Builder-grade installs sometimes skip jamb seals entirely. Adding them is a quick upgrade.

Frequently asked about garage door weatherstripping
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Weatherstripping near me ask us:
How old are most garage doors in Lititz?
About 72% of Lititz's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1963; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.
What's the most common garage door problem in Lititz?
In Lititz it is usually openers straining against cold-thickened grease — and because the area has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, we also see a lot of loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
How long do new seals last?
Bottom seals: 5–8 years in intense sun. Jamb and header seals: 10–15 years. Threshold kits: 10+ years. Indoor-conditioned environments last longer.
Can I do this myself?
Bottom seals are DIY-friendly if you can match the retainer profile and trim accurately. Jamb and header seals are more fiddly but doable. Threshold kits require precise alignment and good adhesive technique.
How much does weatherstripping cost?
Weatherstripping is quoted flat-rate by scope — bottom seal only, bottom plus jamb seals, or the full package, with an optional threshold kit. We confirm the price in writing before installing.
Do I need a threshold kit?
If your floor has settled, sloped, or shows water intrusion during rain — yes. If the bottom seal alone gives you a tight close — no, the threshold is optional.
