Generated from the video's audio, so a word here and there may be off. Chapters above jump to the matching moment.

proper door seal maintenance begins with keeping the seal itself Clean and Free from any debris it should be cleaned on a regular basis with a common household cleaner the door frame should also be cleaned regularly any residue that's allowed to build up can lead to potential door leaks any debris left in the seal or in the door frame can also cause leaks for our inward swing doors care and maintenance is just as important using a common cleaner wipe down the gasket and the inner frame on a regular basis if in the rare instance that a door seal becomes loose or damaged and needs to be removed it can be replaced and should be secured beforehand with a thin bead of silicone placed into the gasket Channel allow the silicone to set up for 20 minutes before reinserting the gasket wait 24 hours for the silicone to dry to add silicone to our inward swing doors roll the seal gasket away from the frame and run a bead of silicone down the corner where the gasket meets the frame you can also add a bead to the other side of the gasket if necessary wait 24 hours to dry finally we recommend that you leave your walk-in tub door open slightly when the tub's not in use this prevents unnecessary compression of the gasket and will extend its flexibility and life
