Is "utility" door a recognized category of door ? - along with "entrance doors" , "interior doors" etc.
In dealing with one of these "Pro Steel" doors http://www.lowes.com/pd/ProSteel-6-Panel-Insulating-Core-Left-Hand-Inswing-Primed-Steel-Prehung-Entry-Door-Common-36-in-x-80-in-Actual-37-5-in-x-81-5-in/3403550, I find that it doesn't have an adjustable threshold. There is about a 1/16 th inch gap between the bottom of the door sweep and the top of the door sill. Also, daylight shows around places on the the sides and top of the door whether the weather seals don't fit tightly. When I mentioned these problems to an employee, he said this door is a "utility door" that is designed for sheds and store rooms, not entrances to houses.
