Best way to seal a big cabinet

I have noticed that those cabinets do not have a seal. Go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a small weather seal and place it on the body of the cabinet. If it does not have a latch to keep the door closed you can always get one that is a spade shaped male end that goes on the door and the female end that is two rollers that goes on the body.

The best seal I have found is a "D" type seal tha is shaped like a D and has double sided tape on the I portion of the D. The seal is no more than a centimeter wide.

You could also go the extra step and get a clear caulk that does not smell, don't use silicone, it stinks. Remove all te shelves and caulk all the seams on the body.
