I had to do something like that recently.

Just get your prehung, knock the threshold etc. apart and nip 1/4" off the risers.
Put it all back together and install. No one will ever know without a tape.

Thanks PDQ, but the house is a concrete slab.

I think you should read PDQ's letter again. It has notthing to do
with whehter it is a concrete slab or not.

(I like to reorder posts logically when a reply has nothing to do with
the post that precedes it. I think if the preceding post were in
front of one's eyes when writing, there would be a second chance to
read it, and fewer misunderstandings.)
