Measure the width: Use a tape measure to measure the width of the door frame, and record it, so as to prepare for the subsequent installation of the sealing strip. 2. Installation steps The installation steps mainly include: pre-cutting the sealing strip, fixing the glass fiber sealing strip, adjusting the sealing strip to a suitable length, and closing the gap between the glass sliding doors. 1. Pre-cut the sealing strip: Take out a good amount of sealing strip, and use flat pliers or scissors to pre-cut the sealing strip according to the length of the door frame. 2. Fix the fiberglass sealing strip: Lightly tap the pre-cut sealing strip on the door frame with a hammer, and at the same time ensure that the position of the sealing strip is perpendicular to the door frame and the ground. Prepare a ring of nails within the length specified for the seal treatment, and establish a pressure-sensitive patch at the intersection of the projecting end of the envelope and the border. 3. Adjust the sealing strip to the appropriate length: After the sealing strip is fixed on the door frame, it is necessary to check whether its length is appropriate.
