Default Winterizing Metal Basement Door

If the doors open outward, than why not close the door, rip a piece of door
jamb 1x2 fasten it to a piece of thick rubber gasket, butt it up to the
door two sides and top then screw or nail it on. you can even purchase the
type used for front entrances with the magnet encased.

I have a metal outside basement door unit (Bilco type with two doors that
open outward - picture of the type of door linked below). Does anyone know
of any type of gasket that could be used for these types of doors? I notice
that a lot of cold air comes in through these doors into the basement and
I'd like to make them more air-tight.

Thank you in advance for any responses.
