What matters first

A threshold solution addresses a small change at a doorway. It needs to work with the door, weather sealing and surrounding surfaces, and should not be assumed suitable for a larger step.

Identify the exact obstruction

Is the problem a sliding door track, a raised sill or a level change between surfaces? Measure the situation as a whole rather than selecting a product from the visible height alone. Discuss the equipment and direction of travel.

Keep the door working properly

Check clearance beneath the door, screen operation and whether a ramp prevents the door from closing. External thresholds also have a weather protection role. Any alteration should preserve the intended drainage and sealing strategy.

Avoid creating a new trip point

Consider the edges, stability and how other household members cross the area. Loose or poorly matched products can introduce a different problem. Ask whether the solution needs fixing and how it will be cleaned and maintained.

Look at the space on both sides

The approach may matter as much as the threshold itself. A tight turn, narrow doorway or small landing can still restrict access. A larger permanent route may be more appropriate than a small threshold product in some situations.

What to include in your enquiry

Project suitability, the actual contracting provider, applicable credentials and any required approvals must be confirmed before building work is agreed.

Questions about threshold access

Start with the information that matters to your home and the person using it.

More questions answered
Can a threshold ramp go over a sliding door track?

Sometimes, but door operation, track drainage and the travel path need to be checked. Do not block drainage openings.

Can I use a threshold product for a full step?

Do not assume it is suitable. Products have specific applications and limits, and larger changes may need a different access design.
