Why do I need protective edge guard?
When it comes to car door edge guards, they are asked to do several vital things. First, they protect your car door against unsightly nicks and dings, which over time can lead to rust and further damage, and work with—not distract from—your existing paint job. Edge guards also work to cover or disguise rough, jagged edges while protecting the hands and body from potential scrapes or injury.
Trim-Lok offers rubber edge guards and edge protector trim in a range of leg lengths and styles to complement your shiny coat of paint as it keeps paint chips, scratches, and damage at bay.
What applications use edge guard trim?
Although plastic edge protectors are primarily used in the automotive industry, they can also be used for applications that range from furniture to running boards and fender flares. Whether you need to protect your car or truck from door dings or are in the wholesale furniture business, Trim-Lok has a flexible edge protector that’s guaranteed to fit your unique application. Our pre-glued, clear plastic door edge trim also comes in black, white, or with a chrome Mylar finish—giving it a beautiful, finished appearance.
How do I install my flexible door edge protector?
Trim-Lok’s plastic door edge guards and furniture edge trim can be installed and removed by virtually anyone, as professional installation is unnecessary. The pre-applied, hot-melt adhesive or optional butyl adhesive sealant (call us for information) makes installation simple:
- • Cut the edge guard trim to the desired length, preferably using a good, sturdy pair of clippers to ensure a clean cut.
- • Press the plastic edge guard down along the edge you are covering, providing even pressure throughout application. The adhesive seal will adhere to the edge with ease and create a tight seal.
To remove your protective edging, simply apply heat to the car door edge guard, peel off the edge protector and remove any excess adhesive. The application and removal of car door edge guards is quick and hassle free. Navigate to the Installation Video tab above to watch an installation demonstration on a truck door edge.
With easy application, flexibility around body lines, and the ability to trim or cut the edge guard trim to the length you desire, there are plenty of product highlights that set Trim-Lok’s protective edging apart from other options available on the market.
