My wife had complained about the door going out to the back porch being drafty. Looking it over, I could see the door wasn't centered in the opening. The gap on the left side was huge while the right was tight in the jam. I tried measuring and decided on the .060" as it was close to 1/16" thickness. These are so easy to use. I loosened the screws on the top and middle, jamming a shim under each one. Then I tightened the top and did the bottom. I ended up using 3 shims to center the door in the jam. Now the door closes perfectly on the weather stripping. No more drafts coming in, even on windy days.
