Does anyone have tips on how to fix a gap at the top of the front door? There is a draft coming through the top, and I have a gap of about 7mm to the part of the frame where the door closes. At the bottom, I have a gap of about 3mm.
It's somewhat like the door is leaning outward at the top.
I've tried looking around on forums and Google, but I don't seem to find much about this type of problem.
Is it possible to replace the sealing strips, either the frame is incorrectly installed from the start or the door leaf has warped a little, to get an even gap you would have to adjust the frame.
I suspect it's the door leaf that has warped a bit. Yes, I was thinking about possibly changing the seal or adding an extra one fixed to the door frame at the top. Really, this is an emergency solution if nothing else works.
The adjustment in the frame only makes the frame move further into or away from the wall, right? That adjustment doesn't push the frame outward?
I was considering for a while if the hinges could be adjusted, but I don't think so. Maybe bend them?

Adjusting the frame screws or bending the hinges probably won't help; you might be able to adjust the strike plate so the door seals better, but it will make it "heavier" to close.
How old is the door? It seems like the door leaf has warped, difficult to fix this. One way is to loosen the frame screws on the strike side and fasten the frame after the door leaf and disregard if the alarm signal is level.
