Weather stripping for exterior door, supplier

| Posted in Construction Techniques on
I am going to have to make new door jams for my French door. The weather stripping now is one which goes into a saw kerf.
Where can I find that type of weather stripping? or what do you recommend. I am going to use a 1×6 and a 1×4 and nail them together with the kerf where the two meet. I tried to find pre-made jams but they only have them for 4 inch walls and for 32″ doors.

I once found some weatherstripping like that at Menards. But it's been maybe 10-15 years.
John,
again, a good hardware supply should have what you're looking for.
If a compression WS-with the vinyl barb that slips into a groove where the rabbited door jamb "stop' is located-Go to someone that handles Masonite/Stanley or ThermaTru doors-they have it for sale as a replacement.
