We had our house resided and they put a new front door on. Ever since, the door doesn't close right (you have to lift up on it to close it) and the front foyer is ALWAYS cold. It seems like it's letting the cold air in. Can I buy some kind of insulation to go around the door to stop the draft from coming in?

BTW, the draft is not only coming in the bottom of the door, it's all around the door.

Research insulation strips as their are foam and plastic v shaped ones. I like to use a combination of both. Take a look at the hinges and see if you need a small spacer to lift it up. You just pull up the door and add the spacer to the post that slides into the hinge. Otherwise the hinges may not be placed in the right position. Should have screwed in a little higher. For added savings during summer I hang a decorative curtain rod above my door and hand a heavy curtain or drape that touches the floor. This worked great for me while living overseas. Got the idea from an old Audrey Hepburn Movie. Everyone loved it too.

Have you checked to be sure the door is closed?

Cold air does not come in to your house, warm air leaves, hence the principles of heat transfer
