Replace the threshold of an exterior door when it shows signs of rot or deterioration. Rotten wooden casings and the riser may need to be replaced as well.
Step 11: Cut the new threshold to size
Transfer the width of the threshold space to the new threshold, marking the length with a square and a pencil on the bottom of the new threshold. Cut the threshold to fit. If new casings and a new riser have been purchased, follows this step with those pieces as well.
Mark and cut the new threshold to fit.
