Frost King Adjustable Aluminum & Oak Still Threshold

TAOC36A - This premium threshold combines a heavy gauge aluminum exterior with an elegant oak interior. A simple screw adjustment will raise or lower the oak segment to provide maximum weather sealing potential.

Update - tweaked the audio. Should be easier to hear now.

I just replaced this type of threshold. Not as difficult as everyone said it is. But you do have to have the right tools. First thing I did was cut the caulking under door jams with a plunge cutting saw. Second was to use a metal cut off blade in an angle grinder and make three cuts through the aluminum. 1 in the center.1 at each end about 1/2 out from the jam so as not to damage the jam. With a metal cutting blade in the plunge cutting saw I cut through the staples that fasten the threshold to the jam. I use that same blade in the plunge cutting saw to cut through the wood under the aluminum. This threshold was on a concrete slab so there were no screws holding it down just adhesive. Using a pry bar I was able to remove all the threshold except for two small pieces under the jam. Tapping on the aluminum I was able to knock them out easily. Now I still had the wood with part of the staples in it. Using the plunge cutting saw I made multiple cuts between the staples. Don't go to deep you don't want to cut into the jam wood. With a chisel and needle nose players I removed all the wood around the staples. Then I twisted the staple back and forth till they broke off. Now there was a tiny piece of the staple still sticking out of the wood of which I grinded off with angle grinder. The new threshold slid right in. Marked three locations under the adjustable oak strip and drilled three holes through the wood and into the concrete slab. Used 3/16 masonry bit in a hammer drill. Removed the threshold and vaccumed the debris from drilling. Inserted small plastic wall anchors in the concrete drill holes. Applied gorilla glue construction adhesive to the concrete slid the threshold into place. I needed to shim a little using plastic shims because the concrete was not even. Put three Tappcon screws to secure since there is no staples holding the threshold to the jam. Caulk the edges of the jam to the threshold. Install the adjustable oak cap and your done. Took about two hours to do. Took longer getting all the tools I used together. Sorry there are not photos. I can work well with my hands not so well with computers and all the technical stuff.

I'd like to see how & where the concrete screws went in. Other wise good video.

[lancetickner]

Not enough detail on how you attached the threshold to the concrete. Also where you calked it. More video of you two guys than the actual job.

[cliffclavin]

You missed a really important part and that is the part of the threshold that you have to hammer into the lower part of the threshold to make this whole thing work. It's like telling people how to change a tire but forgetting the part about where to place the jack.

I have this on my back wall exterior door, just like this vid. The rain blew up against it on the door knob side. The water swelled up & even rotted the adjustable sill part on the end about 4" & part of the lower oak part of the threshold was kinda spread open a little. Its discolored too which makes the problem visual as well. I've tried to find a new "sill cap" the adjustable wood part & I've looked on youtube on how to remove it and replace it; no info on where to get the part or how to replace it. The screws only come up so far & stop meaning they don't seem to wanta come out. I don't want to force them & create damage forcing me to remove the whole threshold. Unless Frost King can provide damage prevention & part replacement I'd say this threshold is a bad idea for a door on on outside wall. I hope Frost King can help me with this problem.

Ahhh, that's how the washers work.
I bought 2 of these, one for front and one for basement doors
The instructions on the paper regarding the washers and how they work are completely vague, so I didn't even use them on the basement door
Now I know how to use them for the front door.
Would be nice if the instructions were 100% clearer.

[leestebbins]

Is a still threshold like a sill threshold only different?

[philipcox]

YOU MISSED THE MAIN PART - HOW TO SECURE THE THRESHOLD TO THE FLOOR! Great video otherwise, but that is pretty huge part you yada-yada'd over...

[stephencrouse]

Thank you for something, but need it slower and showing many more details.

[charlesmartel]

Please redo this video, it'll be too late for me, but for your own sakes.

[lebronjameslol]

They really need to make a insert out of rubber or something you can slide under the thresh hold instead of caulking. Or caulk on top of that that a backer board. I suppose it would be to hard to make a one size fits all to fit both length and width.

[dd-sise]

i bought 2 of these and cant get washers to hold in place to allow adjustments of the riser??

[fastsetinthewest]

Thanks. Took out the old one and wondered why the 2 screws on each end. Eaglegards...

[julianarodriguez]

How would you install on top of tiles let me know thanks

[ExergameStation]

I came to see the install and half the install is missing

[streetmachinehead]

gonna have to agree with alot of the other comments, useless video. Of course, i did notice in your video that you didn't take any precaution to preserve the existing door jamb and just tore it out so you could simple lay the threshold in without interference. Would like to have seen how to install this, inserting it UNDER the existing door jamb while preserving the door jamb.

2:17 That's a really good way to lose a finger or four.

As in writing a novel, show, don't tell. Some of us need to see the actions you edited out.

Ano po cel number ninyo kasi poagtatanong po ako sa door 210x70 kung magkaano po

[bobbymac]

Not enough detail in the camera work, you were all over the place and it made me dizzy...
