How to Replace Weatherstripping on a Door

 Remove pins in the hinges of the door leaking air. Place a pin punch over the pin and hammer it gently to remove it.

  Open up the door. Use the doorknob to balance the door. Lift the door slowly off the hinge and place it on the ground.

 Grip the old weatherstripping and remove it slowly and carefully. You should be able to pull it off unless brads hold it in place. These can be removed with a chisel.

Push compression weatherstripping into the jamb. Use 1-inch brads to secure it in place. Put the door back on the hinges and replace the pins.

 

Measure the area around the door. Cut one continuous piece of weatherstripping that will fit inside the jamb going around the door.
