Is there a door sweep
A door sweep might be just what you need, Home Depot
An inch is a big gap. Can your door be added to? An attached section on the lower part of the door could close the gap.
Thresholds come in different heights. You can install a higher threshold. Another option is to remove the door and screw in some wood to take up the gap.
Square wooden dowel rods can be purchased at Lowe's, about an inch thick. Maybe a few of those could fill the gap, but the door would need to be taken off it's hinges to install them.
Your house may have foundation problems that left the gap. The edge of the house may have risen, or the porch fallen. If the foundation is firm, i suggest a brass kick plate or a rubber dust guard to bridge the gap. ☺️
A door sweep could be added.
Hi, Use a filler strip of a shaped piece of moulding to do the job. Stick it with No more nails.
