Edit 8/19/24: That fix only lasted a few weeks. I have since fixed it again using the same principles in this video, except this time I used a deep well socket instead of a flat-blade screwdriver. I found the smallest deep well socket I had that would fit around the bolt (don't use a larger one) and then tapped the socket with a rubber mallet with a good bit of force. This method applies force all the way around the guide all at once instead of at just two points at a time. This fix has proven to be much more effective and has held up VERY well for many months now.

Original: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This video just saved me a ton of time and money replacing the entire threshold. Such an easy fix, too. I just took a flat blade screwdriver and a rubber mallet and tapped on where the guide and bolt meet. I did that all the way around each bolt/guide and the threshold now stays in place as it is supposed to.

I’ve had a droopy spot on my threshold for about two years and finally looked up how to fix it. I wish I would have done that a long time ago because it took all of ten minutes. Thanks for the help!

are the screws replaceable? i have 2 that are stripped

Thanks! One of my adjustment screws won't release. It just turns freely, preventing me from removing the strip. Any ideas?

I screwed them down too much and now the screws won't turn either way. How would i fix that?

Probably be easier if you used a socket and tapped it in.

use a deep well socket instead of nail sets, it's easier.
