Thanks all for your thoughts. Our door has a small porch roof over it (no sides) so doesn't really get rain on it unless there is horizontal rain blowing into the door. Have never noticed any water getting in under the existing door which doesn't have one. Sounds like it is ok to fit new one without it for now and fit it if there is an issue?


It not just keeping the rain from getting into the house but helps in
keeping the bottom of the door dry. Water that gets under the bottom of
the door isn't likely to dry out fast and if a wooden door the wet can
penetrate possibly leading to rot or warping of the door. A wood
deflector may be oversize but there are metal alternatives that may be
smaller and not look as ugly.
