Hi All,

The door from the Garage to the Laundry room isn’t closing and it’s an old house so I’m not familiar with what this type of a “seal”. It’s like a groove in the door where the frame sort of slots in. There’s a segment misaligned under the doorknob area (both on the door and the frame).

  1. What is this type of a groove or seal called?
  2. How can I replace it something new and/or better?
  3. Would I have to replace the door if I want to upgrade to a modern/better seal?

As you can tell, I’m not particularly adept in this area so I’d appreciate your patience.

Thanks in advance.
