Man Who Also Has Two First Names;
If the door shuts onto the opening (like a refrigerator door) instead of
being fitted into the opening, then the issues of which you speak are
eliminated.
Can`t say that I know what the box stores offer but I do know that many
moons ago ago when I needed gaskets for doors & windows that I made, I
went to a local supplier of energy-efficient windows and doors that had a
shop nearby and the fellow cut off what I needed from a roll of the same
stuff they use for their best doors.
