You just need to make sure that you take 5 1/4 inches off in 2 5/8" sections off of both ends. If that puts you too close to the predrilled and counter sun holes you may have to take the 5 1/4 inch section at one end and drill and countersink another hole. **Q: are they concrete screws?** A: Definitely not concrete screws. **Q: Is this trimable?** A: Yes, it’s aluminum. I used a hacksaw to trim **Q: I have an old house and I’m considering this for an exterior door. Does it seal tightly, or do i need to put a vinyl strip on the bottom of the door?** A: This product provides an excellent base to seal with. In other words it provides no seal. Additional seal strip on the door is required. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as advertised *by W***K on 5 August 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice and attractive *by G***D on 14 July 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very well made, 36" 3/8, be prepared to cut *by H***L on 11 November 2024* ## Frequently Bought Together - M-D Building Products 68387 Aluminum Commercial Flat-Profile Threshold: Durable and Sleek Entryway Access Solution Draft Protection (5 in. x 1/4 in. x 36 in.)
