Abstract: A mounting for an inflatable dock seal whichis used for closing the area around a dock opening in a wall with respect to a truck or a trailer arranges uninflated flexible tubular members on the several sections of the inflatable dock seal and positions structural members is the flexible tubular members. Access openings in the flexible tubular members permit the introduction of fastener assemblies secured to the wall about the dock opening to the quickly and easily engage openings in the structural members so as to position the inflatable dock seal on the wall about the dock opening therein.
