- a second door having a second stile, the second stile including,
- a second generally rectangular cross-section shape;
- a second protrusion extending from the second generally rectangular cross-section shape in an opposing direction from the first protrusion and positioned adjacent to a second mating edge of the second generally rectangular cross-section shape;
- a second astragal extending from the second protrusion beyond the second mating edge in a generally perpendicular direction relative to the second mating edge;
- wherein the first mating edge of the first stile is positioned adjacent to the second mating edge of the second stile when the first door and second door are in a closed configuration;
- wherein a first strip of magnetic weatherstripping is coupled to the first astragal and positioned between the first astragal and the second stile;
