Door Threshold Installation
Tools Required:
  • Tape Measure
  • Metal Saw
  • Drill
  • Bits (masonry if concrete)
  • File
  • Hammer
  • Screwdriver
  • Center Punch

Procedure

Step 1:
Measure the inside distance between the doorjambs. NOTE: DO NOT measure the inside distance of the door stops; they will need to be notched out after overall length is determined. Transfer inside jamb measurement to threshold and cut with metal saw. At this time, the threshold will need to be notched out for the doors stops. The threshold should be positioned as shown in figure one. Measure and mark the location of the door stops. Cut out a notch for each stop. Place the threshold in door opening to check for fit and make any adjustments if required.

Step 2:
File off metal burrs and sharp edges. Place threshold in door opening and again check for proper fit. The threshold has pre-drilled holes for fastening to the floor. Using a hammer and a center punch, make a depression for each of the screw locations. Remove the threshold and drill pilot holes for the screws provided with the kit. If the floor is concrete a masonry bit and sleeve anchors will be required.

Step 3:
Position threshold and secure with screws.
