How to fix uPVC door that lets in rain at the bottom?

My PVC front door does not sit snugly in its frame at the bottom. Basically, it curves out a little bit from the frame in the middle. This results in rain getting in as the seal is not tight.

Does anyone know if there is anything I can do about this?

Depends on the door and the sills. Here are a few ways to fix this: http://www.upvcwindowsanddoors.org/how-to-fix-upvc-doors-that-let-in-rain-at-the-bottom/

Hi Jo

I would suggest, if not already fitted, in buying a weather strip, there are various ways to fit them, but basically install it 10mm above the bottom of your door WHEN ITS CLOSED.
Hope this helps mate

try adjusting keeps at the bottom to pull door in,if keeps arn't adjustable then try a thicker bubble seal gasket around door and frame.hope this helps
