ABSTRACT:
A magnetic door seal for use in association with a door mounted above a threshold, in which the lower edge (18) of the door carries a first profile (1) and a second profile (3) is provided on the threshold. The two profiles (1,3) each receive a magnetic strip (51,53). One magnetic strip (53) is movable and acts as a sealing strip, while the other magnetic strip (51) cooperates magnetically with the first magnetic strip in order to seal the gap (5) between the lower edge of the door and the threshold when the door is closed. The magnetic strip (53) which is arranged in the second profile (3) at least partially defines a water drainage channel (303) extending parallel to the magnetic strip.
