Hi, I have an issue that I am having trouble figuring out. I have an old door that is 31 1/2 inches wide. I can’t figure out who made it. I want to weatherstrip the bottom of the door but the threshold is too high and it is not adjustable, rather I cannot raise it or lower it. The threshold and the sill is one aluminum piece. I can’t insert weather stripping inside the bottom of the door because half the door (facing the outside) has a metal barrier (and correct me if I am wrong but it seems that these types of weatherstrip are proprietary to the maker of the door). I tried to add a multi-finned vinyl door bottom and a Pile and Vinyl door bottom. There is not a big enough gap between the door and the threshold to attach either of them and have the door shut properly. I thought about raising the door but the hinges are inset within the door frame and there is the issue that I would have to re-drill holes that would be too close to the original holes. So I thought of replacing the threshold.
My first question: Does the threshold/sill come in a standard size (width, height, length)? I wanted to know before I tear it out and find out I can’t replace it.
My second question: Is the former question a good solution or does anyone have a better idea?
