There is a metal base drilled into the cement
right under the door. It's about three inches high. The door closes
right on top of it. What should I do here?

Three inches high sounds quite high. Is this sort of a step up to the garage
from the adjoining room? Fire door?
In any case, I'd go close and then use a matching molding. The makers of
the laminate probably have a trim strip (unless you are using the cheap
stuff) that will work. If they don't have exactly what you want, it may be
possible to cut a piece down and just use the part you want.
