ABSTRACT:
A door and door jamb assembly is provided either with a kit of parts or as an assembled unit and includes a door and surrounding door jamb together with mounting brackets for the door jamb and hinges for supporting the door on the door jamb. Both the inner surface of the door jamb and the outer peripheral edge of the door are tapered so that in the closed position they are closely adjacent and parallel with a sealing strip mounted in a recess around the periphery of the door edge. The door jamb is manufactured so as to provide a rigid structure which can be mounted on the frame of the building with the brackets which allow movement between the frame and the door jamb so that the door jamb remains rigid and rectangular despite any shifting of the building. A wiping compressing action of the seal on the tapered surface of the door jamb provides a large compressing force for the seal which improves the sealing effect.
