You could mount some steel strips on the back of your door, making it look nice if you need to. Then using a magnetic seal similar to one found on a refrigerator,like the Pemko 351 CM which is for meeting door seals but could be adapted. This would give you a good seal so that you could have separate temperatures efficiently.

You can also get edgebanding with integral weatherstripping if you are dealing with Euro boxes. I got these items from Louis and Company.

Some of the high end European and Canadian cabinets have seals on all doors.
