Julie,
One thing you might try is to make a "form in place" door seal.
This is done by putting a bead of silicone rubber around the frame (or door) and protecting the mating surface with poly film of some type.  Close and latch the door until cured.
 
This will help but won't work as well as a more flexible seal.
 
F-16 fighters used this method on the access doors.
