| Thresholds are an important part of the entry to your
home. Their primary function is to keep warm air in and
cold air out (or vice versa in summer.) And because they
withstand a lot of traffic, purchase a good quality
threshold to increase durability. |
|
|
|
 Begin by
removing your existing threshold from your door. You'll
want to first cut the old threshold with a back saw. Then
you can dislodge it with a pry bar. Once it is removed,
clean the area thoroughly. |
 |
| |
|
 Carefully
measure the opening for the new threshold, and cut to fit.
Next, lay a bead of caulk along what will be the back edge
of the threshold. Now position it as you want it, making
certain the angle is sloping slightly away from your home
so water does not build up near your new threshold. |
 |
| |
|
 Insert the
screws in the holes indicated along the length of the
threshold. Finally, test the fit. If it is too tight, you
can plane down the door or lower the threshold. |
