As for the door, if it's the same construction, you can get a type of weatherstripping that is a solid metal strip that has a rubber bead attached. There are pre-drilled holes so you just need to slam your door (sometimes it can end up being tighter slammed than just closed. You want it at it's maximum)
Then by pressing the rubber with a light force into the door mark one of the holes closest to where you are pushing, drill then screw. Use this stripping on the top and two sides. There's a similar product for the base but it's wider. It should be labeled accordingly on the packaging.
