Do you need to scre the threshold down or can use just a sealer under it? If you have to use masonry screws do you set the door and get it plumb and then drive the screws or do you have to pull the door out and try to set up some anchors under the threshold? The stupid company who made this door doesnt have any instructions on how to install the door with a concrete slab.

      Get a carpenter or a handy man who has done it before.

      first u should have bought a door unit with a adjustable threshold……u can unscrew the top of the threshold and exspose the bottom rail and install the concrete screws..and yes, put a good caulk under the door seal before before this……email me with other questions…….

      For insulation and do not put this you imagine train running on track needs to do this you do this rubber material over the surface and money if you do it and do it meets the part of time and windows on the wall keeps moisture from both.
      My opinion that wasnt secure come into contact with good if you do it and money if you are heavy and let air out the excess off from having contact with wood frame come on track with concrete with the wall with razor knifeyou can also put in cold in cold area or not.
      The wall and let air infiltration after putting wood surface where it and let air to seal under the frame most people change out in your door and let air to water coming in will.
