A garage door threshold is an affordable, easy to install product that acts as a counter-flashing for your garage door. Many, if not most garage doors (even new ones) have a gap between the bottom of the garage door and the concrete garage floor below. A garage door threshold helps to close that gap and works to keep out water, dirt, bugs and other pests and problems.
Installing a garage door threshold will cost less than $100 and typically take
only a few minutes. You should always follow the manufacturer’s directions, but basic installation simply requires you to open the garage door, place the threshold where you would like it to be. Close the garage door and insure that the garage door threshold is in the proper position. Mark the position of the garage door threshold on the garage floor using a pencil. Next open the garage door and remove the garage door threshold. Apply the included glue to the garage floor using your line as a guide. Now place your garage door threshold back into position and close the garage door.
Many people wonder if installing a garage door threshold will effect pulling their vehicle in and out of the garage. In a word, NO. The garage door threshold is only about ½” and vehicles barley even notice it.
Garage door thresholds are available from two different manufacturers in a range of colors. We offer Black, brown and grey. Both manufacturers, Stormshield and Parksmart make quality products and both products would make an excellent addition to your garage!
