I've seen doors with a flap that folds or slides down to make a seal
when the door is in the very final stages of closing. This can be
accomplished many ways, using cams, springs, ramps, cables or other
mechanisms. I suspect that there is a standard system available
somewhere, but it would be quite easy to rig your own.
I've personally built wipers on the bottom of doors, using rubber
floormat material, either as a flap, or as a 'U' tacked onto one side or
both. If set up properly, it will toggle (flip-flop) as the door goes
back and forth, Like a windshield wiper.
