On my French doors, a part of the insulation has torn and is crumply.

Maggie E Hopkins on Jul 09, 2016Our cat picked at that piece on both sets of French doors at our house and yes it's not a big deal to replace we had a carpenter friend of ours do it, it didn't take alot at all.Helpful Reply

Sherry Tomsett on Jul 09, 2016Hello, This type of door trim is sold at Lowes. If you pull a piece for reference when you go to pick it up. They can get you the exact size. I would stay with the same type of product so the door alignment and gap remains the same. Usually, this trim has a small flat edge that will slide into a thin channel along the door and is just kept there by pressure from the channel itself. On occasion, you may find it is tacked with small brad nails every foot or two. I hope this helps.Helpful Reply

Helen on Jul 10, 2016I'd get the handyman, especially if you're not accustomed to doing this sort of thing. OR when you go to the store, ask the person helping you if they're used it before and was it easy on a score of 1 to 10. 1 being easiest. Etc. I've done a lot of things around the house but never this. Luckily, you can get it at a store. Trying to improvise may prove too hard for you. Good l uck.Helpful Reply

Virginia R. Wallace on Jul 12, 2016This looks like what I have. The type that I have is a piece that fits in a groove in the door jamb. It pulls right out maybe with a pair of plyers.......to put it back in you have to cut it to size and use a rubber hammer to put the new one back in.Helpful Reply
