I didn’t know about the adjustment part of the threshold. You just saved me hours. I would have taken it apart and maybe put shims underneath to raise it so that there wouldn’t be a gap between threshold and door.
Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for sharing, very helpful! Using a wet cleaning wipe (disinfectant wipe) while the caulk is still wet will really clean up the caulk lines.

thanks!!! super easy to follow, answered all my questions

Is there a foam or insulation strip between the threshold and the wood adjustment strip? Great video! I’ve got two doors that have gaps under the door and I’ve felt intimidated in making these repairs.

Awesome video! I need some help brother. So my front door threshold was destroyed when I was replacing the subfloor of my home. It had been screwed into subfloor that had rotted away and was unable to be removed without some prying on the old subfloor. This tore up the threshold and made it useless. It needs to be replaced but I am concerned that this was a prehung door, and that this threshold is physically attached to the rest of the door frame. My stepfather believes I will need to buy a whole new prehung exterior door for several hundred dollars and rip the old door all the way out and put a new one in just for the threshold issue. This would be a lot of money and labor. So my question is, if I do have a prehung door, could I use a vibrating multitool with blade to cut the old threshold out of the frame, and then do what you have done here with no consequence? Will such a thing damage the integrity of the door frame? I assume the frame has been screwed to high heaven on the horizontal and vertical where it meets the house, so losing the base of the pre hung should not ruin the function of the door to any extent while it is all in place. What are your thoughts? "Help me Obi-One Kenobi, you're my only hope."

Can you tell me please the stuff that you fixed the bottom of the frame and sanded off. What is it called?

Nice video. BTW, what type of material you used to fill that "space" in the rotted door frame? Very curious.
Thanks

Can I ask what you favorite brand of exterior sealant is? Ty, and great video btw!

[SaarinkuCastilho]

How do you fill in a gap underneath the threshold door outside?

[DJShaunLouis]

A note of caution.
This threshold has an untreated wood base and sits directly on an exterior concrete doorway.
There is a high probability that it’ll fail just as the old one did.

You didn't caulk under threshold to stop water intrusion. Only caulking edges is not sufficient especially on an entry door that close to ground.

Why do I need “extensive experience” to trim a wood/aluminum sill on a miter saw? Thats what the tool is designed for…..

[wayneguy]

Ya really muffed up that wood with a bunch of holes 😂

[floridascratcher]

Take a shot everytime he says threshold

[KKemp-btnl]

For some reason, I think this is a video about a threshold. Maybe because he says threshold 500 times.

[kimberauto]

This works great if your house has no flooring… because if it does you’re never getting that in.

That old threshold was never sealed underneath is why it came up so easy...and why didn't you replace the jamb it's rotted
