Default Exterior Door Weatherstripping Question

wrote:
We have two exterior doors where the weatherstripping is attached to the
door frame. *It's a tubular shape with a flat flange that fits into a
groove in the frame. *It appears to be vinyl or a plastic of some sort.

The problem is, we are not getting a tight seal. *In fact, at times we can
actually see light around the perimeter of the door in some areas.

What would be the best and/or easiest way to correct this problem?

BTW, the house (and doors) are only a little over a year old and show no
wear.

TIA

Is the lock plate on the frame set out to far so it wont close tight.
What is builder warranty. You should have a warranty with the door
manufacturer, or get the foam that sticks on , it comes in different
sizes and stick it to the door
