because removing its frame means removing the overlapping door frames of two other doors on both sides in a small entry-way. So I would like to do some weather stripping. This door is used frequently during the day and you can see daylight around the door when it is closed. What weatherstripping is best for this job? Can I use gorilla glue to hold it in place? Felt, flat rubber strip or tube insulation? Has anyone done this?
I hope your doors don't overlap. If the frames are mulled together (uses same pc. of trim to cover 1 side of each jamb.)
You can still install a pre-hung door for just this 1 door, without messing up the other doors. * Honestly, I would have this done by a carpenter.
Weatherstrip in not glued on. Self stick is not the best way either. I would look at weatherstrip kits that include 2 sides and 1 head (top)pc. already cut to length to fit standard size doors. Either 2'8" (32") or 3'0" (36"). They will have a pc. of hollow tube vinyl weatherstrip mounted on a pc. of aluminum, vinyl or wood. They have holes for mounting to the frame.
Follow directions in package. I like to tell DIY to shut the door- Make any needed cuts to pcs. so they fit. Place weatherstrip against the door - don't push it as hard as you can, just snug it up to door. Install mounting screws in the CENTER of the elongated holes.(this way you can adjust it a little back and forth if you need to). After it is all up - open the door and shut a few times to check for hang ups- adjust weatherstrip in or out until all daylight (cracks) are gone and door shuts easily with just a little pressure. Door is not going to just shut by itself with a little push, If weatherstrip is on correctly - it needs to have a little resistance, which means you should have to push on the door a little to get it to latch. You can also purchase a door sweep for along the bottom of the door. This is usually felt or short bristles like on a paint brush. It mounts on the door just like the weatherstrip - (has elongated holes to allow for final adjustment)
I think you can do this - don't get rolls of weatherstrip - get the rigid kind - I think it looks and works better, and will be much easier for you to install.
