I learned the hard way that a good sill plate seal is crucial after finding water damage under my door. The rubber strip along the bottom of the frame keeps out drafts, rain, and pests when properly installed. I used a foam-backed seal and checked for gaps by sliding a piece of paper through the closed door—if it pulls out easily, you need a tighter fit. It’s a cheap fix that saves on energy bills.
