Abstract
A self-adjusting weather-proof seal for doors, windows and other closures is provided that automatically accommodates warping, settling or other movement of the closure and its frame. A weather stripping flange is mounted on one or more sides of a closure or closure frame, and is adapted to be received in a compatible receptacle on the closure frame or closure, respectively. The weather stripping flange is coupled to an adjustment assembly that permits frictionally restricted movement of the flange. This capability for frictionally restricted movement allows the flange automatically to become inserted into the receptacle as the door or other closure is moved to a closed position, even if the closure and closure frame are significantly out-of-square or warped.
