To replace a door threshold gasket you have to place a pair of sawhorses outside and make sure they are set up so that the door can be laid flat on top of them. Take a screwdriver and insert it into the bottom of the pin on one of the hinges. Use your hammer to pound on the top of the screwdriver to force the hinge pin upwards and out of the hinge. Repeat this process for the rest of the hinges. It is important to keep the door closed while removing the hinge pins so that the door or floor is not damaged. Open the door slowly and pick and slide it over the side to remove it from the hinges. Set the door on the sawhorses. Inspect the threshold seal on the bottom of the door. Remove the strip by removing the screws on the bottom of the door and sliding the threshold seal out of the channel that holds it. Slide the new threshold seal into the channel and re-insert the screws to lock it into position. Remove the door from the sawhorses and take it back into the house. Set the door back onto the hinges, inserting it in the closed position. Re-insert the door hinge pins using a hammer to pound them all the way back into place. Open and close the door to see how the seal affects the operation of the door.

How do you fix a door threshold?
First of all you have to remove the old threshold. If the threshold is underneath the frame of the door, you will need to cut through it on either side of the doorway, as close to the door frame as possible. Be careful not to cut into the floor below. Lift out the threshold if you can because there may still be some nails holding it down. Take out the end pieces of threshold that are under the door frame. Nails may be holding in these pieces and you don't want to split the door frame. Use a hammer and a small chisel or flat head screwdriver to break the threshold ends into small pieces that you can remove easily. Then you can install the new threshold. Insert shims under the threshold to support it and make sure that it slopes downward to direct water away from the door. You may be able to use one long piece or several shims in different thicknesses to ensure your threshold is level. Once you have test fitted everything, remove the threshold and use adhesive to keep the shims where you want them. Replace the threshold, and insert some more shims on the outside of the threshold against the door jambs if necessary. Use a little adhesive here also. Drill holes in the threshold for a few nails. Hammer the nails down, securing the threshold. Coat the threshold with water repelling finish or other sealant and allow to dry allowing foot traffic to return to the area.
How do you adjust a residential entry door threshold plate?
To adjust a residential entry door threshold plate you have to check for the location of cracks between an exterior door threshold and an exterior door on a sunny day. Get on your hands and knees in front of the door on the inside and look between the threshold and door to see where the sunlight comes through. A little light at the corners is acceptable. Open the door and adjust the threshold by turning the screw closest to the spot where light came through. Turn the screw counterclockwise with a Phillips screwdriver to raise the door threshold. Lay the edge of a framing square over the door threshold to see if it's straight and level. Adjust any other screws to the necessary height to make the top of the threshold level. Turn screws clockwise to lower a section of the threshold if necessary. Close the exterior door and check for light shining through from underneath after making the adjustment. Make further adjustments if necessary to close the crack under the entry door.
