    Default Gap at bottom of door

    OK now I could use your help once again.
    I'm trying to put the hardware back on the door and am having a really
    tough time putting the main door handle back on.

    The two screws that hold the handle are relatively shallow and I can't
    find the holes! I believe I got one of the two on, but I can't get the
    second bugger on!

    I've been working on it for almost a half hour now.

    That is your classic "insulated metal" door. It has a wooden frame
    around the outside, and a wooden block where the latches fit.

    You need to line it up carefully, because the screws going throughthe
    inside knob or latch mounting plate screw into threaded tubes on the
    outer half. If not lined up perfectly you totally miss the tiny hole
    in the almost as tiny tube. You want to line everything up visually,
    using a flashlight if necessary, then start BOTH screws before
    attempting to tighten either one. Usually a minute or two does it once
    you get it figured out.

    What is funny is your lack of reading comprehension. Did I say Open?
    No. I said AIR gap. if the channel on the bottom of the door is
    hollow, it would be an air gap and provide insulation. Look up how
    insulation works.

    That qualifies as a metal door. The foam is sandwiched between the
    metal and everything is rigid and it is well insulated.

    Fill the gap with the wooden debris.
