Q: Why don't you include a door seal ?

We would love to include a replacement door seal with UNDOR Pro Protect. The issue is, not all garage doors are the same. Some door manufacturers use different seals, or use no seals at all. This makes it impossible to have a ‘universal’ door seal and would result in a lot of waste and extra cost. Instead, we offer links to great online stores across North America who retail all sorts of different door seals for just about any door. See our door seals page for more information.

UNDOR PRO Protect offers a unique, no-compromise way to safely pass cables and hoses under your garage door while it’s closed. It does mean that you’ll need to do a little installation work. Once installed, UNDOR PRO Protect is there when you need it, and out of the way when you don’t.

Installation should take less than an hour, with the bulk of that time allotted to replacing your garage door bottom seal. Watch the video below before tackling the installation, so you have an idea of what’s involved.

Warning! Post Tension Concrete

Before undertaking this DIY installation please be aware of the risks. If your garage floor is post-tensioned or pre-stressed, you cannot drill into it. This is serious. Please look around your garage for any warning signs, which are typically stamped directly into the concrete or installed near an entry door on the wall. If your floor is post-tensioned or pre-stressed, you must use the no drill (adhesive) method of installation. Do not, under any circumstance, attempt to adjust or disconnect the garage door spring. These are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or death if incorrectly handled. If unsure, contact a professional for assistance.

Probably, yes. Most rubber or vinyl door seals crush over time, conforming to the space between your garage door and the floor. UNDOR Pro Protect raises your door slightly, by just over an inch, and will leave a small gap.
