I want to replace my existing exterior entrance door. I have the

Will I be able to fit this replacement door? And what do I do with the
extra 3"? I was thinking of putting a 3" bar of treated wood and then
capping it as the "new" door frame--will this suffice to keep out cold
air leaks?

You can glue and screw two 1 1\2" pieces, one on each side of the
door, assuming it's a painted finish (remove existing paint etc.)..

One on each *side* of the door, eh?

Did you even read the OP's post?
