A sealing assembly is disclosed for a hinged door which is pivotable over a door threshold when closed. The sealing assembly includes a plurality of elements located within a channel positionable adjacent an edge of the door. The elements include an actuator responsive to closing of the door, the actuator having at least one connector rod extending along the channel and being movable longitudinally within the channel in response to the door closing. The or each rod is connected to at least one pivotable arm comprising rigid sections divided by flexible joints, the other end of the arm being connected to a sealing member. The or each arm is flexible such that as the or each connector rod moves along the channel, part of the arm flexes vertically thereby imparting and maintaining vertical pressure on the sealing member during use.
