I just had a new door and frame installed today. It looks great,

called) is done right.

It is the metal part that one walks on, or over, when entering the
foyer. It is a bit flexible when one stands on it, and my old sill
was very stable.

Mine was the same, and eventually the plastic/rubber strip which was
screwed to the top cracked - I glued that back together and added
more support under the metal part, so it shouldn't happen again.

Thank you. I guess I will call the installer back,

That's one option.

or simply mix some
powdered concrete with water and neatly push it underneath the sill.

That's probably what I would do since it appears that you have access to get
some type of filler material under the threshold. I think a small bag of
mortar mix would probably work -- they sell small, maybe 5 or 10 pound
plastic bags, of mortar mix at Home Depot etc. Or, if you see the right
type of filler material in a caulking tube, and if you have a caulking gun,
you may want to get that and just pump the stuff in under the threshold with
the caulking gun.


I do have the concrete mix. The man who did my back door simply applied
concrete underneath the sill after the door was installed.
Thanks.
