Unacceptable.

I went to replace the weatherstripping on my metal entrace door. *It's
the kind with a saw kerf in the jamb.

Afterwards, I still see see a big gap in the lower thrid of the door.
It's becasue the house has moved and the door jambs are not square. *

Think 'simple shear': the rectangular door opening has been deformed a
bit, so there's a 1/4" gap on the lower third of the latch side. *

Any ideas as to how to properly weaher strip this door?

As always, thanks a heap,

The door wont help much, if 560 is too much look elsewhere, start with
cfls, not cooling it so much and all the other waste you have.
