• Replacement of existing deteriorated seals or the addition of new seals to existing dock in style shipping doors that do not have any type of seal in place are eligible.
• If other mechanisms that combat infiltration at the dock in door are present, such as air curtains, it is not eligible.

• Two types of seals (compression and shelter) are eligible based on door size.
• Compression seals on 8' x 8', 8' x 9'and 8' x 10' doors where the seal is wide, foam, fixed pad with a minimum 40 oz. vinyl cover.

This measurement must be taken and provided with the application form to be eligible. If a measurement is not provided with the application, then it is not eligible.

Where:
gap1 , gap2 , gap5 , gap6 = linear gap between the door frame and the deteriorated seals measured at the top and bottom of the side frames in inches
gap3 , gap4 = linear gap between the door frame and the deteriorated seals measured at two corners on the top door frame in inches
Average = average deteriorated seal gap (inches)
