Excellent tutorial, thank you! I have a 1"+ gap under my workshop door w/ concrete floor. I've screwed on a thick rubber sweep but last winter a rodent sized hole got chewed through it. I want to install this but since I often roll heavy items through that doorway on steel castors. The whole floor is approx level but it raises up just a little at the door, so maybe inverting your idea, and attaching it to the bottom of the door could work. Just shim enough so when the door is closed, the rubber strip would come into contact with the concrete. I'm not 100% sure the fine details yet, but your video inspired me to come up with a way to seal it good once and for all. Cheers!

Nice explanation, helpful video, Wayne. Thank you for sharing your experience. It seems like it would be useful to trim the rubber part of the threshold to length before you attach the metal part to the door jamb, should you ever edit this video. An on-screen caption would get that point across well, I think. I did wonder how you were determining how thick to make your build-up. You answered here in the comments: you just bought the same threshold you had before, and (I guess) matched the build-up to your door jamb. Thanks again.

Thank you for this video! I'm a landlord and we try to do as much of the repairs ourselves as we can. Replacing threshold isn't one I've had to address often, thankfully. This video was helpful! Might I suggest?: I would have liked to see how and what you cut the aluminum piece with. Also, would have been helpful to see how you determined how much you needed to build up under the threshold (some might have chosen to wrap the exposed wood with aluminum?), just a mention that when an original threshold is removed it sometimes requires a bit more surgery to release from it's seat, how you determined the height and cutting the door, and solving the issue with the gap... which I usually resolve with a sweep installed with screws on the inside and outside of the door, but not every knows that. Oh, and I adore Izzy! Thanks again for the helpful video!

This set of question/answers was helpful to me. I also wondered about the cutting tool; hope I can get a straight cut with a jigsaw. Another video used a handheld bandsaw, but I don't have one. My garage door threshold isn't graded well, so water runs toward the door instead of away from it. I had some pros in who also helped with weatherstripping, and they just used sweeps also. I thought that was a bit cheap and maybe inadequate, but they're a huge improvement and probably good enough.

Looks really sharp. Professional!

Dwayne, I had a handyman about 2 years ago replace my backdoor threshold and other components. The old threshold was very tall, but the new one he installed left a decent size gap between the door and threshold. I was so mad! Anyhow, the solution I employed was a 1-3/4 in. x 36 in. Mill/Vinyl Weatherstrip Door Bottom. Essentially, just a huge metal piece the slides over the door and fills the gap. It has a rubber seal on the bottom to ensure it meets the threshold. The issue I've had as of late is that there's a small gap between the seal and threshold plate. Last I saw, the seal was starting to string apart like a twizzler as it separates from the pack. I was able to obtain a new seal to slide onto the track, but haven't put it on as of yet due to it being so cold. Any suggestions as to why the seal would start breaking away or any suggestions? This would be super helpful!

Hello Wayne, Thank you for the video. We live in the much colder north (Wisconsin). We just had our door replaced and a new threshold installed but immediately encountered a problem. It is now December 1 and there is no thermal barrier between the outside and inside of the threshold. Hence, we get condensation not the inside which runs onto the wooden floor. That will wreck the floor after a while. What suggestions do you have for this situation? The vast majority of thresholds sold seem to be all metal. We can't be the only ones to have the condensation problem?

@DIYwithWayne

We don't have as cold of weather as you do but there are wood thresholds on the market. You could try one of those. If the condensation is getting on your wood floor, I would expect it to cause discoloration and or rot. Do you have a storm door? If not adding one may help. Good luck with your project and have a great day.

Something like this would work www.lowes.com/pd/TOGGLER-20-Pack-1-1-4-in-x-1-4-in-Dia-Standard-Drywall-Anchor-Screws-Included/3183857 but I would go to your local hardware store and ask what they have. Good luck with your project and have a great day.

thats sounds good an all ,however what if the screws are so tight that you could /or have stripped them trying to take them out?

I would try to cut the screws off or grind the tops off so the threshold can be removed. Then the new one could be installed. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

I think I would have used PVC for my 1/2 spacer, but it's a nice video. Your dog looks really nice. Oh and a kick plate that folds under the door will take care of your gap!

Thank you for the kind comments. The wood will be OK because this is a dry area. I added a very thin shim to correct the last air space. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

@@DIYwithWayne Thanks for your reply. Looking forward to more of your videos. This was my first time seeing any.

Hello Wayne,..why didn't you buy a wider sill and have it sit on top of your hardwood to avoid the small gap?

If you have a concrete subfloor should I use tapcons or something like that?

Yes, you must have something to secure it to the concrete. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

Thank you. We think she is pretty special. She is getting old and slowing down, but is still a joy. Have a great day!

Adding a small door sweep would seal it

Yes it would but I plan to add a small shim under the threshold to close the gap. Thank you for visiting and if you have not, please subscribe to our channel.

Did better than the ones who you paid to do the flooring!

It was the pair of pliers going under the door for me.

That was a surprise to me too when I saw how big of a gap the floor installers left. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
