Simple and Easy Replacement of Entry Door Threshold
HOW TO INSTALL FRONT DOOR THRESHOLD WITHOUT USING SCREWS
1. The most common size of threshold is 5-5/8 inches, but that was not wide enough for my door. I needed one that was at least 7 inches wide or 7 - 9/16 inches.
2. Door jambs normally come in 2 standard sizes: about 4.5 inches (4 - 9/16 inches) and about 6.5 inches (6 - 9/16 inches).
3. If using Endura Adaptive Inswing Sill System from BetterDoor, you will need to install ½ inch or thicker plywood underneath the threshold.
4. To nail in the plywood board, I used 2 ½ inch 16-gauge finish nails.
5. I used construction glue to attach the threshold to the plywood, and that worked beautifully! Best value glue is Loctite PL 3x Premium.
6. How I repaired the door jam and replaced the brick molding are shown in separate videos.
