Have an issue with my wood exterior door weather-stripping which needs replacement. Door is about 25 yrs old, made by Wenco. Jeldwen Corp. bought Wenco some years back and services these doors. Called Jeldwen but b/c of door age could not help me. They directed me to Strybuc Corp. a supplier of replacement parts. They could help but I had to place an order for at least a dozen pieces.

The door weather-stripping is the type that fits into a groove/slot in the door casing. Material is vinyl.

I have been to Lowes and Home Depot, but they have nothing similar or anything I could substitute. Contacted Granite State Glass in Laconia, and they can order the weather-stripping, but supplier will only take a minimum order of 20 pieces. Obviously I only need 3 pieces to replace sides and top of door casing.

Any suggestions of any other local door companies I could check, or ideas to replace existing
weather-stripping with an alternative?

Thanks,
BD
