I live in an old house. Much of the weatherstripping on the doors is
felt or springy metal. At the local Lowes / HD all you can find is the
self-adhesive foam strips which last about one year -- or they have
the better looking stuff which slides into a track -- I suppose this
is for the tracks in the frame of a sliding glass door.

My ?15? year old Peachtree door has tracks in the wooden part of the
frame. Those foam strips are the best I've found & if I was going
to try to weatherproof an entrance door I'd give some thought to
replacing the door with an insulated door.

If that is out of the question, I'd take a good look at some
doorframes and see if I could 'aftermarket' those foam strips in a
track. They not only work well for a long time-- If they wear out,
or the cat eats them, it takes minutes to replace them.
