Now that it's starting to cool down, I'm going to refinish my front entry door. What's the best way to temporarily seal the opening for two to three days, without damaging the entry, while I work on the door?

If temperature isn't an issue, I would just duct tape a tarp up and make sure there is a seal going completely around.
Hi Laura,
Brittany gave you some good advice with a tarp idea. Here is another suggestion with a video on what someone else came up with:

I would have to base it on how secure you have to keep your house, in my area break ins are a reality.
Best to you
You can close it up if you have a storm or screen door. Another option is do most if not all of the refinish work while the door is still hanging.
Tape over opening with heave plastic.
