draft around side of door

[iherald]

The back door of my house is not very plumb. The top over the door knob has a 1/2 gap and the side attached to the wall has a 1/8 inch gap. There are similar gaps along the side of the door.

I know how to put a sweep on the bottom of the door, but what do I do on the side? The door already has weather stripping along all the sides of the door, but it's not helping. Any ideas?

My door weather stripping at the top and sides is iether screwed or nailed into place. The screws and or nails can be removed and the weatherstripping repositioned and fastened into the new location. There's usually a slot where the screw goes allowing for latteral adjustment. If you still can't fix it get a roll of the very soft and squishy self stick rolls of foam wheatherstripping and stick it to the door were there is still a gap. Might not look pretty but it's a back door and freezing out!
