Why do I need a Plastic Edge Guard?
When it comes to door edge guards, they are asked to do two vital things: 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. 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 Plastic Edge Guards?
Although plastic edge protectors are primarily used in the automotive industry, they can also be used for applications that range from furniture and vending machines to running boards and fender flares. Whether you need to protect your car or truck from door dings or are in the wholesale vending machine or furniture business, Trim-Lok has an edge protector trim that’s guaranteed to fit your unique application. Our pre-glued, flexible plastic trim comes in black, white, clear plastic or with a chrome Mylar finish, giving it a beautiful, finished appearance.
How do I install my plastic edge protector?
Trim-Lok’s plastic 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 for information) makes installation simple:
- • Cut the edge 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, simply apply heat to the door edge guard, peel off the rubber edge protector, and remove any excess door edge adhesive. The application and removal of plastic door edge guards is hassle-free and simple.
With easy application, flexibility around body lines, and the ability to trim or cut the plastic edge protector to the length you desire, there are plenty of product highlights that set Trim-Lok’s edge guards apart from other options available on the market. If you’re looking for a stylish and flexible edge guard with resiliency and durability to match, look no further than Trim-Lok.
