For the edges of the door, I tried replacing the weatherstripping, but that didn't solve the problem. I finally realized that the door was hanging a little crooked, and that was why the edges didn't seal. I ended up putting some cereal box cardboard between the bottom hinge and the door frame to make the door seal properly around the edges. I also adjusted strike plates and deadbolt plates on this door and a couple other doors because they were very hard to lock without pressing your weight against the door.
