What is the name of the bit of wood at the bottom of an outside door that throws the rain off of the bottom? It's driving me mad, I can't find it anywhere because I don't know the name.

Drip rail.

hat throws the rain off of the bottom?

thanks, another summer job to be fixed, now I know what the part is called.

Funny we used to call it a door sill Maybe it depends on where you live or something. Brian

The groove underneath is essential. Don't try and make one - they are readily available.

A door sill is a bar across the bottom of the door frame. It's not part of the door itself. The bit attached to the bottom of the door is either a weather bar or a drip bar intended to eliminate or reduce ingress of rain water over the sill.

Possibly also threshold or thresher?

No cill/sill and threshold are all the bottom of the door frame.

Weather bar/drip bar are attached to the door itself.

But do note they won't stop driving rain getting under the door.
