how to stop light leaking under door

[Ford Fairlane]

I live in a pretty old place and the door to my room is quite uneven.

 

I have tried putting rubber seals around the door, but to actually stop light from getting out it makes it virtually impossible to shut the door... I can put up with that though.. the real problem is under the door. it's an uneven tiled surface and I havn't been able to find anything that will seal it completely...

 

I've thought about haging a blanket on the insude of the door but it may make it a bit hard to open.... anyone got any suggestions

 

This is more about stealth than about light leak having an effect on budding.. although that will be an issue in the near future

Heya mate!

 

I have found these rolling door seals to be quite effective! simpy screw to the inside of the door, doesn't restrict movement..... available at bunnings.

Awesome, thanks wrangler.. looks like it might do the trick.. legendary

what about using a 'snake' - those things that stop drafts?

yes the snake.

Hey Puka,

 

I was going to suggest the snake too. That's what i use at home, but Wrangler's definitely got the better idea there..

Think i'll be investing in a couple myself

Cheers

Yep. I was going to suggest a draft snake too! That or a towel.

draft snake?

real men call them a door sausage...

 

but I think he needs something that will move with the door...

 

 

personally I have a second, airlock type area between the door and the actual grow to catch light leaks and muffle sound, as well as keep dirt/dust/bugs out of the actual grow with an extra layer

so the main door need not be 100% light tight

the snake idea is good but I need it on the inside.. so the roller blocker thingy hopefully will solve my probs... cheers for all the answers
