Best way to seal a big cabinet

Scott, I have nearly that same cabinet. Are the sides of yours made out of laminated medium density fiber board or actual wood? Mine are the fiber board and I'm currently having an issue with the screws pulling out of the bottom hinge. If yours is the same, just be careful that adding the weather stripping may add more pressure on the hinges as you try to close the door.

The sides are laminate. I'll be careful with the hinges...thanks for the heads up!

do not put the weatherstripping on the front edge of the cabinet. put it on side wall, and just have it stick over the edge a little bit. this way wont cause pressure on the hinges
