Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a garage door seal for the bottom of my garage door. The gap is only about 10mm or so but I need something to keep out dust, mice, leaves etc.

Can anyone recommend a good product to use?

Cheers.

Will sleep envy's brush stop the bd mice?

Those rubber strips look more substantial, have you actually got one?

neither will stop mice - they can get through a hole smaller than a 5p piece

Seconded - only a concerted period of trapping with peanuts for bait will sort mice out (as it did in my last garage, where I did fit one of those strips, more to stop leaves and crap blowing in under the door.)

How about a nice thick bit of rubber around the door and some substantial mouse traps then?
