How can i stop rain seeping in under my door?

When it rains heavily or the rain hits directly onto our front door, water seeps in through the corners and edge of the door onto our floor inside. There is a seal against the door but water still trickles in. It’s damaged our vinyl flooring!
thanks in advance

Hello @hacol

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your door.

If the doors of the interior frames lip are still in good condition, I suggest using Moroday Grey Self Adhesive Weather Seal. To prevent further incursions of water under your door, I suggest using Raven 920mm Clear Anodised RP3 Door Bottom Seal.

If you need further assistance, please let me know.

Hi @hacol

In addition to @EricL hardware solutions that should fully do the job.

Please consder re painting the door as you can see the paint bubbling lower down. To real problem is painters never paint underneath the door edge or often on top too thats a water ingress point to your timber and will cause your door to rot prematurly .

Also maybe you can some how screen the front door from your most prevailing worst weather. Or a over head extention to your eve near the door if the rain problem persists. A simple pull down blind will work to help shield your door way in the worst conditions.

If the water is flowing towards your door on the ground maybe it can be diverted away.

So if any extra conditions exist for your door way we can help.
