 Don’t foam insulate your exterior door installations, you will regret it later.

I know the foam can they sell is fun to play with, just don’t inject it between you door jam and wall framing. 

It will glue your door in place!

See, you may need to adjust that door in the future and the foam will not allow the movement you need. 

Use batt insulation instead.

Install with a putty knife loosely in the space between the jam and framing and you will have the flexibility later to adjust. 

Cheers!
