I used the old frame because all I had was the door itself, no frame came with the new door and I didn't take the time to rip it out and make a new one myself. I have very little experience with doing any work like that too.

I love the aluminum flashing idea. That is actually exactly what I need. Even with the weather stripping it does not seal completely. The wedge isn't quite parallel to the door and on one side it seals extremely tight, and the other side there is still a small gap.

I'll have to check into that magnetic weather stripping. That sounds like good stuff. Thanks Ryland.
