Bob,
McMaster-Carr has this seal available. I have not tried it but I think that I will order 25’ and try it. Self sticking, has great fire rating. 1/2” wide and will do a 1/4 gap. Might use the existing door gasket as a base.
As I read the description, that seal is meant to be used with the "sharp"
edge forming the seal ("Mount it to the sides and top of a door or window
frame...").
That's not to say it couldn't be used "flat", but probably not very
satisfactorily. Might be a $34 flop.

I had good luck with the rubber seal that looks like the letter D, flat side down. Did not use it on the entrance door, but works great on external
compartment doors.
