M-D Building Products 6247 36-Inch Aluminum Drip Cap

This was easy to install on outside on exterior door. Hoping this will direct rain away from bottom of door and prevent threshold from rotting.

I bought this one, as it had a little brace in case someone kicked it. It went on well, but I didn't have to cut a few inches off for my door.

Cannot cut with tin snips, need hack saw

Well made of sturdy aluminum. Requires cutting to fit most doors. A Dremel with a Cut-off wheel for metal works nicely.Applying calk to the back when mounting ensures a watertight seal. My preference is DAP Dynaflex, as it's more durable than other forms of calk, including 100% silicone. After years of trying this kind or that, Dynaflex is now the only kind of calk I ever buy–period. Also, when using any sort of sealant/calk/etc, ensure the surfaces are very clean. Isopropyl alcohol is preferred, as it cleans well and leaves no residue, unlike many common household cleaners.When mounting, ensure there is clearance wherever the door will swing. You might want to use a couple small strips of duck tape to hold it in place until it's permanently attached.There was a big thunderstorm here today. Not a single drop made it inside the front door. YAY!!!

My opening was only 31” so I took some off both edges so the screw holes were equal all the way across. This looks like it will keep the rain from coming in.

Our patio door, which swings in, was the cause of water seeping into the basement when it rained hard. Water would flow down the door, then onto the threshold which does not have any way of draining except for down and into the basement. This drip cap seems to have fixed the issue. We only needed a small lip to get any water runoff to drip on the outside of the threshold where it could fall outside the house. This extends just far enough out to take care of this. Out of the box, it's a bit ugly, but I painted mine white to match the door

It was sturdy, but the sharp edge is much to be desired. I included all of the order in this shipment and it's good as new. Didn't modify a thing. 3 pcs. shipped back for full refund.

I was initially disappointed with the finish on the door bottom, with an uneven look, some areas appearing to be darker than others. I needed to mount right away, so I used as it was. Mounting was much slower than expected, since you have to allow for the hidden brace that goes behind the bottom. If you mount with the door bottom too near the floor, the brace will drag on the sill as it opens. I had to use some shims to lift up and avoid this. But - final result is very satisfactory and I have a nice looking fixture instead of a metal door starting to rust. Nice blend with the satin nickel door hardware.
