Does anyone know of a source for inter-locking metal door weatherstripping? I want to use this on wood exterior doors.

That's gonna be expensive if you can find it. I'd recommend a type of door w/s, generically known as "foamguard" up here. (have a sample in hand as I type; I used to install it) It's mounted on a steel carrier (or can be moulded wood). It is flexible and can move/adjust to about a 1/2" warped door. It's shaped like a squat "?" with the lower tail being held in the carrier. The door meets the top nylon covered flexible foam.
Pemko, easily found on the internet, has the old style - 1950's - zinc perimeter weather strip that rabbets into the edge of the doors and mates with the jamb components. They also have the spring bronze that is nailed to the jamb. And a wide variety of door bottoms and thresholds, including the ever-popular bronze interlock.
Enjoy!

Thanks, Pemko......I'll look.

Dave,
I didn't find it on Pemko's Web site. I sent them an E-mail asking for information.
Thanks for your help

I'm on the road so I don't have an address, but try AM Conservation, I've been using them for a couple of years now and they have the best weatherstripping that I have found. Contact Paul Cutler at 800-777-5655 Ext 12. They have an interlocking Weatherstripping that is available in a metal or wood carrier.
