Lowes french door threshold help

[stryped1]

I have a reliabilt French door I purchased from Lowes and installed 2 years ago. The side jams even though I primed and painted them before installati on, have rotted at the very bottom next to the sill. The adjustable sill sc rews have seized and wont come out. I looked online and called and it seems impossible to just find the top adj ustable part only. I really do not want to replace the entire threshold as this door is only 2 years old.

Is there anything I could fabricate or otherwise to just replace the adjust able top part? It looks similar to those adjustable oak thresholds but is a tan plastic.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

My advice is to first find out why parts of your door rotted out after only 2 years. A properly installed door should last essentially a lifetime.

You'll just be wasting time and money if all you do is throw parts at the door. You need to find out why/where the water/moisture is getting to the wood.

Is your sill similar to this one?

If so, I doubt you can buy just the part you want. Of course, if you can find a sill identical to yours you could buy it and just swap out the adjustable part.

The jambs rotted because the sill butts to them; if the sill was under the bottoms of the jambs, they would be unlikely to rot. If the sill was under them and you left an 1/8" gap between them, they would not rot.

The adjusting screws rusted because water got into them, not from the bottom but from the top. I have never seen any where water could get to them from the bottom. When/if you wind up replacing them, pack the hole snd screws with grease before you insert the finishing caps; they may still rust but the grease should keep the rust at bay for a while.
