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.
h 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. *h

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

As always, thanks a heap,

You dont say where you are at, but, id guess the deep south where
youre running the a/c alot . Its good you seal up your door but thats
going to be a drop in the bucket in your bill (electric bill im
assuming) . Your best solutions to reducing your electric bill in the
summer are ; Maximum insulation in the attic then walls / ventilate
the attic with a powered attic fan on its own thermostat / obtain a
very high efficiency cooling system and one that is properly sized for
your application and locale / cover windows to keep sun out / if
your roof is coming up for replacement...consider a Metal roof to
reduce the cooling load .
