What is this called?

Hey hey everybody 🙂
After 22 or so years, it's getting time to replace some things. One of them being whatever this is called in the pic. I "think" its called a door stop, but it may be a door jamb?

Oh, and of course, what in the world is that rubber/plastic gasket thing/stuff called - can't be something as simple as 'weatherstripping' lol. It looks like it slides down into a slot maybe. Or perhaps you attach it to the door stop/jamb before you attach the whole magilla to the frame.

Thanx for lookin! *salute*

 
That's an exterior jamb. It's one milled piece so you can't pull off the "stop" part. I often see the bottom piece cut out and a small section replaced.
The weather strip is removable, grab the top edge and pull. Get a new piece from home depot and it will slide right into the existing slot.

I’m not sure what you mean by “ It’s one milled piece so you can’t remove the ‘stop’ part...”

I was looking online at Lowe’s and I can’t
seem to find just a single piece. But I do see a 3-piece kit ( 2 sides and 1 top ) for $30, and I’d have to buy at least 6 kits! Well, eff that lol. There has to be another option out there :/

don't get the vinyl weatherstripping, when it gets cold it gets stiff and makes it harder to shut the door.
