This is a 20 year old metal outside door. The bottom door sweep is missing and the outside weather strip does not come down to the threshold.
The threshold is NOT adjustable. Cold air flows freely into the house.
What would be the best way to seal the bottom of the door? Also, what is the recommended weather stripping around the perimeter of an outside door?
Thank you!

Hello,
We offer the 58-176 or 58-186 door sweeps, which are fairly versatile, depending on the length you need. Note that these sweeps wrap around the bottom of a 1-3/4" thick doors and mount to the sides of the door with screws. Take a look and see what you think.

If the door does not use any seals on the sides, we don't carry anything that would work as an after-market option and would not normally be required for a residential door.
