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.

You *believe* or you *know*?

At this point it sounds like you have a symptom - water leaking under
the door - but you don't really know the cause.

May I suggest that you grab a friend and a garden hose and make some
pretend rain? With the friend (or you) and the hose outside, and you
(or the friend) inside, you might be able to determine the root cause
of your problem.

In your OP you said "I think it was hung poorly and maybe the bottom
seal is not working." IMHO, until you actually know where, but more
importantly *why*, the water is coming in, you won't know what needs
to be fixed. It could be a simple as adding a piece of drip edge or
awning above the door to redirect the water or it could indeed be a
poorly hung door. Maybe the door was not meant to seal out water and
should have a storm door added to isoloate it from the rain.

You also asked "Any tips on hanging/sealing doors?"

There are so many different types of doors, I don't think anyone could
answer that question without a lot more details. It could be anything
from a storm door to a wooden door to a steel door to a sliding door,
etc. etc. Any tips for hanging/sealing *your* door would depend on a
lot of specific factors.

In any case, you really do need to know why the water is coming in
before you can begin to solve the problem.


Best suggestion from DD. Find out where it's coming in then figure out
why it's coming in there. Then you can begin to figure out a solution.
