Old doors frequently suffer from air leaks, gaps, and drafts. This short video from the honest carpenter will show you how to install metal/vinyl weatherstrip / weatherstripping to cut down on drafts and air leaks, and keep pests out!

(Newer doors use a different kind of weatherstrip that slots into a dado or kerf in the stop trim of the door. That kind of weatherstripping is easily replaced by slotting in new weatherstrip. I've linked some above if you have a newer door assembly with this issue.)

Tools:
Hacksaw
Drill
Utility Knife
Tape Measure

HOW TO ADD/INSTALL WEATHERSTRIPPING TO OLD DOORS:
1) Measure area between stop trim along top of door.
2) Layout this measurement on weatherstripping
3) Cut weatherstrip with utility knife and hacksaw
4) Install weatherstrip using a drill and supplied screws.
5) Measure for side pieces of weatherstripping pulling from bottom of door up to installed top piece of weatherstrip.
6) Cut and install side pieces of weatherstrip

Pieces should contact door in order to ensure weather seal. However, be sure not to push against the door too hard during installation. It can be helpful to install top screw, then middle and lower screw. Then, make sure that the door shuts well--if it does, fill in with remaining screws.
