Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for installing and adjusting a door seal device on a door leaf for the purpose of sealing off a lower door gap, the door seal device having at least one trigger on the hinge side and/or lock side and the door seal device initially being installed in such a way that the trigger has a greater projection than necessary and the door is then closed, an axial displacement of the trigger with respect to a transmission element connected to the latter occurring as a result of a floor contact pressure of a seal profile that exceeds a reference value, which leads to self-adjustment of the extent of the projection of the trigger, and the trigger then remaining in this adjusted position when the door is reopened.

Abstract: A sealing device for the bottom of a door comprises a first inverted U-shaped sectional bar (10) which extends along the bottom of a door (1), is firmly secured thereto and contains a control mechanism. A vertically movable second inverted U-shaped sectional bar (14,15) carrying a sealing strip (17) of profiled rubber is accommodated in a lower rectangular chamber formed in the first sectional bar by a horizontal partition wall (11) which extends transversely through the first sectional bar.
