Threshold and threshold cap
A threshold has a substrate, a sill deck, an upstanding nosing, and an upstanding dam. An upwardly open sill channel is defined between the upstanding nosing and the upstanding dam. A threshold cap extends along and at least partially overlies the upwardly open sill channel. At least one holder is formed separate from the threshold cap and is located in the upwardly open sill channel between the upstanding dam and the upstanding nosing, the at least one holder at least partially supporting the threshold cap. The holder is removably disposed within the sill channel. The threshold cap is pivotably attached to the holder. The threshold cap is capable of rotating between a raised position and a lowered position. In at least the raised position, a highest point of the threshold cap is closer to the upstanding dam than the upstanding nosing.
1. A threshold for installation in an entryway, the threshold having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the threshold comprising:
a substrate;
a sill deck mounted to the substrate;
an upstanding nosing extending along the second side of the threshold;
and upstanding dam extending from the sill deck;
an upwardly open sill channel is positioned between and partially defined by the upstanding nosing and the upstanding dam, the upwardly open sill channel being positioned to at least partially underlie a door panel when the door panel is in a closed position;
a threshold cap extending along and at least partially overlying the upwardly open sill channel, the threshold cap comprising:
a first wall having a top surface and a bottom surface, and
a connection arm extending from the bottom surface and terminating in a tip having a substantially circular profile; and
at least one holder formed separate from the threshold cap and being located in the upwardly open sill channel between the upstanding dam and the upstanding nosing, the at least one holder at least partially supporting the threshold cap;
wherein the holder is removably disposed within the sill channel,
wherein the holder comprises at least one knuckle at least partially forming a barrel having a longitudinal axis,
wherein the threshold cap is pivotably attached to the holder,
wherein the threshold cap is capable of rotating between a raised position and a lowered position,
wherein, in at least the raised position, a highest point of the threshold cap relative to the substrate is closer to the upstanding dam than the upstanding nosing, and
wherein the tip is received in the barrel such that the threshold cap is capable of pivoting relative to the holder about the longitudinal axis.
2. The threshold of claim 1 , wherein the threshold cap further comprises a second wall extending from the first wall, the second wall extending substantially perpendicularly from the first wall, the second wall configured to be positioned adjacent the upstanding dam.
3. The threshold of claim 2 , wherein the second wall further comprises at least one resilient seal configured to seal with the dam.
