Problem with front door

20 years ago

My house faces South and I have a steel door with a full glass storm door. According to my 4' level, the door is warped inward. In addition, the magnetic weather strip does not attract itself to the door. It (the strip) folds inward, thus not making cantact with the door. I've tried pulling the strip out of the groove so it will make contact with the door, but the strip justs turns inward further. I've tried replacing the strip, but it ends up doing the same thing.

The door gets hot during a sunny day. I've checked the temperature in the opening between the doors and it has reached over 160 deg. F.

My suspicion is the heat is just creating havoc. I can understand a wood door warping, but a steel door?

Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
