I'm dealing with a gap in my condo unit door that's letting in air, light, and noise from the hallway. It's really bothering me, and I'm looking for some suggestions on how to seal this gap effectively. I appreciate any tips or advice. Also, here's a photo of the issue: https://ibb.co/CpgjcGnY

Make sure you also consider ventilation! If your condo only has vents for air to go out, it might affect how you seal the door. Just ensure that after sealing, air circulation is still functional. For noise isolation, you could look into soundproofing materials for additional help.
You might want to try adding weather stripping around the door. It's a straightforward solution that can help block drafts, light, and noise. If your door has a striker plate, adjusting that could also help to close the gap better. It's worth a shot!
I faced a similar issue with my door, and I've found that adjusting the strike plate made a big difference. Also, check for any pre-cut grooves in the door jamb. If you see one, you can use weather stripping designed for that. If not, just grab some adhesive-backed weather stripping from the store and stick it on—that's usually super easy!
Thanks for the tips! I’ll check for the grooves and see what I can find.
Good point! I'll check into soundproofing options. Thanks!
