I don't believe water pools outside the door enough to spill over.

I believe the rain is hitting the door or elsewhere and then getting in.

Most doors now days are foam filled, with some wood around the edge.
What
is leaking out of your door? You should take your door back and get
another
one.

I have an exterior door on my shop that is leaking. I think it was hung
poorly and maybe the bottom seal is not working.

Any tips on hanging/sealing doors?- Hide quoted text -

The problem isn't necessarily the door.

While you may indeed have a problem with the door - can't tell from
here - I'm wondering why water is running towards the door and not
away.

Submarine doors are made to be waterproof, shop doors typically
aren't. I'll hazard a guess and say you should fix the grading problem
before worrying about the door.

I had a "leaking door" in my basement when I first moved in, but as
soon as I stopped the water from building up outside the door, it
never leaked again.

Dug a pit, drilled holes in the top and bottom of a plastic 55 gallon
drum, dropped it in the hole, backfilled and covered the pit with a 4'
x 4' "deck". It would now take at least 55 gallons of water before it
could even begin to backup outside the door. 2 leaks in the first year
(before the fix) - zero in the last 23.

I still don't understand how the previous owners dealt with it for 30
years.
