Our take on the 81" Standard Reach Magnetic Weatherstrip
This is a single 81-inch magnetic weatherstrip strip for the lock and head jambs of an entry door. It uses a flexible TPE profile with a magnetic face that pulls tight against a steel door or a mating magnetic strip, sealing gaps better than plain foam tape. It suits homeowners replacing worn kerf-in weatherstripping on an exterior door who want a tighter seal against drafts, water and insects. Unlike foam or vinyl bulb strips, it needs a magnetic counterpart or steel surface to hold, and the hinge side is meant to use compression weatherstripping so the door does not bind.
- Magnetic face pulls the seal tight against the door
- TPE rubber resists cracking better than foam
- 81-inch length fits standard door jambs
- Single strip covers lock and head jambs
- Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 320 buyers
- Only one strip; hinge side needs separate compression weatherstripping

Questions and answers
- Does this seal the whole door?
- No. It is one 81-inch strip for the lock and head jambs. The hinge side needs compression weatherstripping.
- Will it work on a wooden door?
- It needs a magnetic or steel surface to pull against. On a plain wood door the magnet has nothing to grip, so a mating strip or steel door is needed.
- Can I cut it to length?
- Yes, the TPE strip can be trimmed to fit the jamb. Measure and cut carefully so the magnetic face stays aligned.
- How is it better than foam tape?
- The magnetic face pulls the seal tight and TPE resists cracking, where foam compresses and wears out faster.
- Is it for interior or exterior doors?
- It is built for exterior entry doors, sealing against drafts, water and pests.
