Ratings & Reviews for M-D 36-in x 5.625-in Aluminum/Wood Door threshold (Install with Screws)

Poor design and poor materials

The adjustable part of the threshold depends on small washers that are the wrong size for the application. As a result the adjustable part is useless. It works OK as a standard threshold, but I've had to buy a replacement door sweep to make up for the gap caused by the non-adjustable threshold! Also the wood under-piece had a big knot in it and also a split. This wood does not appear to be treated and will rot within a short time. They could have at least painted it.

Easy to install

Went in very easily. Easy to stain to match floor.

Out with the old

Replaced a similar one. Had to cut to size. I would recommend using the old one to size and center the holes as best you can. Cutting both sides

Best threshold for cold humid climates

The wood is a better insulator than aluminum and looks better than plastic. The metal conducts cold into the inside part of the aluminum threshold and causes water to condense and/or freeze on the floor.

Perfect for old houses

This adjustable threshold will allow for all the sag and unevenness in old houses. Looks nice. Adding a new door to an old house will show all the places where it is uneven. Might as well get one of these when you get the door.

Threshold

This is exact replacement. Only comes in 36 inch. Must be cut for size door needed

Threshold

This product is ideal. The threshold of our back door was causing my wife pain when she crossed over it in her wheelchair. Th aluminum/wood door threshold made this much easier for her.

How to make this truly adjustable

Good product, but poor design as far as adjustability. There is nothing to hold up the top piece of oak when using the supplied hardware. If you buy steel washers and put them under the top oak piece that screws to the threshold, it will allow you to raise the height to where you need it to seal between the door and threshold. Washers also support it so that when stepped on it doesnt get pushed down.

Don't waste your time!

Product is absolute garbage. The thin metal "washers" (not really a washer) that thread on the screw to hold the adjustable hardwood piece up will slip down the threads of the screw the first time someone steps on it. Had I saved the packaging I would have returned. I might as well have thrown $20 in the garbage.
