1. Remove the old threshold with a hammer and a pry bar. Remove nails or screws and pry the threshold up from floor.
2. Measure the width of the door opening and cut a new threshold to fit.
3. Pre-drill pilot holes into the floor where you want the threshold to go.
4. Nail the threshold to the floor or use countersunk wood screws.
