Lubricant for Door Threshold Weatherstrip

I use paste wax, like Johnson's.

do you have enough clearance to rub a bar of soap on the bottom of the door?

Would you happen to know the brand name of that door? I have been looking for that kind of weather proofing for the bottom of my steel door without any luck in finding what I am looking for.

Thanks

Came from Lowes. Most likely their ReliaBilt brand.

Hmmm, wouldn't have thought of that one.

I have used saw wax to lubricate both metal and wood door frames/thresholds with very good results.

Lots of good suggestions I never thought of. Glad I posted the Q.

Haven't tried anything yet but one that popped into my head was furniture polish maybe?

Soap worked wonders for me! I don't even think you need a specific brand. Just make sure you aren't attached to the bar, because it's going to get dirty. I just rubbed it dry onto both the rubber part and the frame below it. Not even a whisper of a squeak. (I know it was 11 years ago, just putting this hear for anyone who may be curious and doesn't have fancy wax)

I've used this on rubber weatherstripping on my cars over the years, with decent results:

Frank could possibly look this up and see if it's just good old silicone grease or not.

Thanks! worked for me.
