Door sweeps / Bottom weather-strips

I just looked at my Back Porch door for a Manuf. tag or something. No tag or imprint that I could see on the door's edges.
But the window does have Therma-Tru on the window pane. Lower left corner looking in from the outside. This door has a door sweep different from my cottage's middle door that I mentioned in the other thread.
So...I just put this door in 5 +or- years ago, so, I know the sweep is original. This sweep is FLAT w/fins on the outsides and 2 tubes inside. All below the door. Not like the L-shaped one on the other Therma-Tru door I have. I had to have replaced the other one many years ago!
If and when I need to replace this one, I'll have to take the door off the hinges and see the attaching style before I order a new MOE or the likes.
I might've painted over this door's Manufacturer's tag by mistake. Or it's on the top or bottom now.
Another note...
I've tried to help people keep frikn bugs out by telling them door sweeps wear out. If you can light a flashlight and shine it at a door's bottom and light gets through...a bug can get through too.
I still have to put one under my wooden front door!

They should have a sticker on them like replacement windows do, so you can just take a picture of it and it tells all the details of the door. That would be too easy. You can have a new sash made for your replacement windows with the info on that sticker. -
If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.
