door panel metal nail strip ?
« on: October 04, 2024, 10:16:19 AM »
Ive run into a problem on my front door panels , the metal nail strips are rotted and falling apart as we try to remove them . Ive looked all over and can't seem to find anyone that reproduces them . Whats everyone using to secure the door panels to the doors ?
I did find some 3/4 nail clips but they are only a inch wide and the nail is to close to the edge of the panel .

Hi,

My post door panels have clips like this:

Auction is over but might be a starting point.

Not sure if picture will come through

Regards,

Check out Clarks Corvair for the nail strips.

I'm not sure if they sell the strips by themselves still .
