Door not tight in jamb

This is pouring cold air into the house and I dont know how to fix it. I have changed the weatherstripping (the P shaped channel.) the hinge side of the door does not even touch the weatherstripping when the door is closed. Changed the hinges with longer screws today. A related issue is that the door must be pulled/pushed tight for the deadbolt to lock. I have tried moving the strikeplate but that doesnt help. The door and frame are 7 years old (mudroom built from a carport). Thermatru. What can i do or do i just need a new door cuz something is wrong…? submitted by /u/VisitForward1553 [link] [comments]
