How to Select a Threshold
Thresholds block out air, moisture, dust and insects while beautifying your home.
- Measure the length and height of your existing threshold. Or measure the width of the door opening and the distance from the bottom of the door to the floor.
- Choose the style of threshold you need:
- Aluminum & Vinyl - The most common threshold. Combines quality good looks and ease of installation.
- Adjustable - Our best sealing threshold. Height is fully adjustable. Works great even if floor or door is not straight.
- Frost Break - Beautiful solid oak prevents frost buildup on the inside threshold surface. Durable aluminum on the outside.
- Oak - Solid red oak adds a beautiful accent to your entry way. Stain or paint to match door trim or floor.
- Saddle - All aluminum, extremely durable, must be installed with a door bottom.
- Bumper - Most often used on out-swinging doors.
- Commercial - Heavy duty thresholds built for durability. Low height meets ADA accessible entry requirements.
