German doors had lips on them. Hard to describe, but rather than just fitting inside the jamb, they also overlapped the jamb.

Can you get doors like that in the US? There's no way driven rain can get in.

(a lot of German construction practices were designed to save energy - I was paying 27 cents a kWhr there.)

Do the German doors open "out", or "in", like American doors do?
