Metal sheet bottom edge patio door

[charl_6]

Hello!
I currently have a window sill-like construction at the bottom edge of patio doors installed by a sheet metal worker. These are installed very crookedly and don't look good when the deck outside is being built. Therefore, they need to be removed and realigned. The problem in this case is that the sheet metal worker has glued the sills, likely with MS polymer, using approximately half a tube, so a lot of glue. The sill sits on the base about 10cm plus an extra centimeter so it aligns with the brickwork. Maybe 15cm in total.

My question to you.
What is more correct? A threshold flashing or the construction I described above. I want the deck to be as level as possible with the indoor floor surface. The deck will go under the brickwork towards the base/foundation wall.

If a threshold flashing is installed, I could raise the deck and leave a 5-10mm gap between the deck and the flashing.

I would appreciate tips/opinions from you, especially from someone who possibly works with this.

Picture?

I'll see if I can arrange that, I'm not on site today.

Do you mean that the plate is on the door or on the frame?

Do you mean that the metal sheet is on the door or on the frame?

The metal sheet is attached to the bottom edge of the door's aluminum strip in the groove intended for metal. The same way a window sill is mounted minus the screws. Glued at the bottom and sealed at the top with some silvery silicone. The sheet is made of stainless steel.

A picture is needed, the blecket is usually mounted against a groove in the frame.

Yes box. That's how it's done. Just like a window flashing but for the bottom edge of a door. It's an Elitfönster patio door.

Will arrange a picture as soon as I can.

I wonder what is technically correct at the bottom edge of a patio door. Threshold flashing or of the type/model window sill flashing. I don't know if as soon as a flashing is down there by the feet if it is then called a threshold flashing. Difficult to Google my way forward as it only shows threshold flashings which are just a small strip that goes from the groove and out with a small drip edge.

I'm wondering what is technically correct when it comes to the lower edge of a patio door. Threshold plate or a type/model of window sill? I don't know if as soon as a plate ends up there at the bottom if it's then called a threshold plate. Difficult to google my way since it only shows threshold plates, which are just a small strip that goes from the groove and out with a little drip nose.

Impossible to answer without pictures!

I wonder what is technically correct for below the patio door. Threshold plate or window sill type/model. I don't know if as soon as a plate is placed down there at the feet if it's then called a threshold plate. Hard to Google my way as only threshold plates appear, which are just little strips going from the groove and out with a small drip edge.

It's usually called a threshold flashing, but it's technically a window sill flashing.
How it should look depends a bit on the conditions.
