Warped garage door

[TNDU]

My garage door has become warped at the bottom so that there is a gap when the door is closed as shown in the first pic.

I only use for storage and not for the car.

Any ideas on how I can get it to close flush? I need to lock the bottom part of the door. The one on the left has a bolt into the garage floor to keep it stable but the one on the right is the outer door of the two and is the one that is always opening and closing so you can't put a bolt like the other one has.

I was wondering if there is something like a magnetic bolt strong enough to hold the large door, or a catch bolt?

Why can't you drill a hole in the floor and fit a galvonised bolt on the outside. https://www.screwfix.com/p/smith-lo...Ai2-bgXAfjLgLiUINzCLSG7p_KuL-uPIaArzAEALw_wcB

that may look ugly? is it possible to have the catch / bolt on the inside of the door?

How long do you spend admiring a garage door. Or is it a fetish I have never heard of.

OF course it is, do you have another exit? Else you will be stuck in there

ha ha, fair point. Perhaps if I get a black bolt, you won't notice it.

Yes, just drill a hand-sized hole in the door, so you can reach through to the bolt.

actually this gives me an idea. i don't need a hole the size of a hand, just one that is big enough for me to put a bolt through that can pull the internal bolt, which I can put on the inside of the door.

Won't that defeat the object of closing the gap in order to make it weatherproof.

that is true!
I think i could put a bolt outside the door on the floor that can turn upwards when the door is closed. that way it doesn't have to be screwed into the door.
