Hey all,

Both exterior doors on this house have gaps around all their edges -- especially at the bottom, where there's a good inch that lets cold air through! They're old doors with glass panes and I'd like to keep them if possible. Any suggestions for weatherizing these?

Thanks!
Noam

hi
if possible get a weatherstrip that looks like a casing of a door.
as for the bottom install a sweeper type weatherstrip
