What is this? How is it attached? How do I remove it?

[Mjärn]

In the process of removing the stone staircase which is full of cracks. Planning to build a wooden staircase. When I removed the stone staircase, I saw this in the picture. It seems to be attached to the underside of the entrance door.. How do you get rid of this piece of metal? Is it attached to the wood under the door, do you think? Does anyone have any ideas?

Wash off the fotplåt
Take a picture of the fotplåt when the door is open.

Why should it be removed?

Currently removing the stone staircase full of cracks. Planning to build a wooden staircase. When I removed the stone staircase, I see this in the picture. It's kind of attached to the bottom part of the front door. How do you get rid of this metal piece? Is it attached to the wood under the door, do you think? Does anyone have any ideas?

Can't make sense of picture 2 and 3 compared to the first picture, but if it is attached to the front door, I can imagine it is meant to prop the door open, there has probably been a rod with a bracket on it that locks the door in an open position — it's called a door holder, I believe.

Why should it be removed?

Because I want to place a board against the wall and it's very much in the way.

I can't reconcile image 2 and 3 with the first image, but if it is attached to the front door, I can imagine it's meant to hold the door open. There probably was a rod with a bracket to lock the door in an open position — it's called a dörrhållare.

It is the tröskelbecket TS is referring to, not the hook for the door stop.

The "hook" is to the left outside the image in the first picture.
The "hook" is on the door leaf.
The "footplate"/threshold flashing is on the threshold and partially embedded in the plaster.

Explains why pictures 2 and 3 were confusing 😀

Edit:
But not why one wouldn't want the sheet metal, sure - a bit of a hassle to get a stud for the upcoming wooden staircase but when the steel frame is removed, it can't be that hard to attach the stud...

But not why you don't want the sheet metal, sure - a little hassle to get a beam in for the upcoming wooden staircase, but when the steel frame is gone, it can't be that hard to put the beam there...

Then boards will go all the way in to the door, so everything must go. It doesn't matter why I want to remove it. How do I remove it?

 

[Mjärn]

The steel frame is anchored to the ground like a rock. How do you remove something like that?

 

[Picea]

The steel frame is as solid as a rock in the foundation. How do you remove one like that?

An angle grinder is probably easiest. Don't forget protection for eyes and ears!

Then boards need to go all the way to the door, so everything must go. It doesn't matter why I want to remove it. How do I get rid of it?

Make sure there is a gap between the decking and the wall of about 1 cm, so that water cannot run onto the foundation.

If you remove the door flashing, you need to put a new one in place to prevent leakage.
The decking is usually 50-100mm lower than the bottom edge of the door leaf so that you can open the door in winter..
So the recommendation is not to have the decking at the same height as the door threshold, if that's what you were planning 😊

I'll try to put a new one like this there!

If you remove the door flashing, you'll need to install a new one to prevent leakage.

How do you get a new door flashing that fits? Aren't they different for every house?
