Adjustable Door Thresholds
Adjustable Door Thresholds for a Better Seal
Adjustable Door Thresholds allow you to fine-tune the seal beneath an exterior door without replacing the entire threshold. By raising or lowering the adjustable cap, you can compensate for uneven floors, worn weatherstripping, door movement, or seasonal settling while improving protection against drafts, moisture, insects, and energy loss.

Commercial & Residential Adjustable Door Thresholds
Adjustable Door Thresholds are designed to create a reliable seal beneath exterior doors while allowing installers to compensate for uneven floors, worn door bottoms, foundation settling, and seasonal movement. Unlike fixed thresholds, adjustable models feature a movable cap that can be raised or lowered to maintain proper contact with the bottom of the door without requiring complete replacement.
These thresholds are commonly installed on residential entry doors, commercial storefronts, apartment buildings, hotels, schools, healthcare facilities, and office buildings where controlling air infiltration and improving energy efficiency is important. By maintaining a tight seal, adjustable thresholds help reduce drafts, moisture intrusion, dust, insects, light infiltration, and outside noise.
Our selection includes adjustable aluminum thresholds, vinyl-top thresholds, wood-top thresholds, inswing thresholds, outswing thresholds, and threshold width extenders. Many models can be paired with weatherstripping, door bottoms, and perimeter gasketing systems to create a complete doorway sealing solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an adjustable door threshold?
An adjustable door threshold features a movable cap that can be raised or lowered to create a tighter seal between the door and threshold. This allows the threshold to adapt to changing conditions and maintain optimal performance.
Where are adjustable thresholds commonly used?
They are most commonly installed on exterior residential entry doors but are also used in commercial buildings, hotels, apartments, schools, and healthcare facilities.
Can an adjustable threshold help stop drafts?
Yes. Properly adjusted thresholds help reduce air leakage, drafts, dust, moisture, insects, and noise entering through the gap beneath a door.
What types of adjustable thresholds are available?
Options include aluminum-top thresholds, vinyl-top thresholds, wood-top thresholds, inswing models, outswing models, and threshold extension accessories.
