this seal was taken off an older wooden door jamb. it is a spring type but has a kerf on it . the distance between the jamb and the face of the door is only 3/16". new doors are 3/8" and i had tried the foam seals that are installed in newer doors but the seal wouldn't compress enough.

This looks like our 58-173. Check it out and tell me if you agree!

That's what I was thinking. But will the circle part compress down past 3/16"?

I actually grabbed one of our 58-173 lengths and compressed the bubble. I found that the bubble was fairly soft and compressed down to about 1/8", hitting the base part of the bubble. Would this be sufficient?

I would say it will work. The average gap from door to jamb when closed is 3/16
