Door Gasket Lockwood CA57 12 Foot Window Gasket Heavy Duty Rubber Seal

Description

Product Overview

The Lockwood Door Gasket CA57 is engineered as a twelve‑foot continuous rubber seal specifically crafted for window and door applications where airtight performance is critical. Constructed from premium grade EPDM rubber, the gasket offers superior resistance to ozone, UV exposure, and a wide temperature range, ensuring that the seal remains flexible and effective year after year. Its dimensions—approximately 12 feet in length, 6 inches in width, and 1.5 inches in thickness—provide ample coverage for standard industrial door frames while allowing for easy trimming to fit custom openings.

Designed with a reinforced core and a smooth outer surface, the gasket delivers a tight, compression‑fit seal that eliminates drafts, water infiltration, and dust entry. The material composition balances hardness for durability with enough pliability to conform to uneven frame surfaces, reducing the need for additional sealing compounds. This balance makes the CA57 an ideal solution for high‑traffic environments such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, and large commercial entryways where reliability and longevity are paramount.

Usage

Installation of the Lockwood Door Gasket CA57 is straightforward and can be completed by maintenance personnel with basic hand tools. The gasket is supplied in a single 12‑foot roll that can be cut to the exact length required for the door frame. Once cut, the gasket is positioned into the designated groove of the door or window frame and secured with standard fasteners or adhesive as recommended by the manufacturer. The design accommodates both new installations and retrofits, making it versatile for a variety of projects.

Typical use cases include sealing large sliding doors, overhead doors, and high‑rise window assemblies in industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and agricultural structures. The gasket’s robust construction also makes it suitable for harsh environments where exposure to chemicals, extreme temperatures, or constant moisture is common. By providing a reliable barrier, the CA57 helps maintain interior climate control, reduces energy costs, and protects equipment and inventory from environmental damage.

FAQ

What door types are compatible with the CA57 gasket?

The CA57 is suitable for most industrial and commercial doors, including sliding, overhead, and swing doors, as well as large window frames. It works with metal, wood, and composite frames that have a groove or channel for gasket installation.

Can the gasket be used in outdoor environments?

Yes. The EPDM rubber formulation is specifically designed to resist UV radiation, ozone, and extreme temperature changes, making it ideal for outdoor applications where exposure to the elements is expected.

How do I determine the correct length to cut?

Measure the perimeter of the door or window opening where the gasket will be installed. Subtract a small allowance (approximately 0.5‑1 inch) to allow for a snug fit, then cut the gasket to that length using a sharp utility knife or scissors.

Is any special adhesive required for installation?

In most cases, the gasket can be secured with standard fasteners such as screws or clips. For added security, a compatible industrial‑grade adhesive can be applied, but it is not mandatory if the frame provides a proper groove.

What maintenance is recommended to extend the gasket’s life?

Periodically inspect the gasket for signs of wear, cracking, or compression loss. Clean the surface with a mild detergent and water to remove dust or debris. Replace the gasket if significant damage is observed to maintain optimal sealing performance.
