Hello.

Recently purchased front door that was installed a few weeks ago.
Now that the cold has arrived, I noticed there is a small gap/hole in the lower right corner of the door, which of course allows cold air to seep in.

I just checked and the frame is plumb.

Anyone have suggestions on how I can fix this?

Is the rubber seal where it should be? Compare with the other corners.

Yes, it's where it should be and looks the same at all corners.
 
Do you think it looks tense around the corner, or isn't it the rubber strip you see in the picture?

Is the gap on the hinge side or the lock side?

You probably need to adjust the hinges.
 
Never experienced that the hinges need adjusting if everything is aligned on a new door. If the gap around is the same everywhere, it should be another problem.

What does the gap look like from the outside, is it the same all the way around?
 
contact the seller and they can give their opinion,
 
Is the door of the Diplomat brand?

Never experienced having to adjust the hinges if everything is straight on a new door. If the gap around is even everywhere, then it should be another problem.
The fact that you haven't experienced it isn't really relevant, is it?

Obviously, that's the case here. If the frame is straight, then the door is probably crooked.
 
Had exactly the same problem on 2 exterior doors. Gaps in the corner on the lock side.
The door leaves had warped.
Got 2 new ones under warranty.

Did it only gap at the lower right corner or at the upper corner as well?
