Nah, they're just "loose"...

For those who have not seen an adjustable threshold, this YouTube video gives you a quick answer about adjusting them.

My problem is that the middle 2 of the 4 adjustment screws are missing. I SHOULD have asked if someone has taken one of these things apart and knows if the screws can be replaced without having to rip out all the rest of the threshold assembly.

BTW, it is definitely not the sweep. The front of the house faces east and in the morning one can see a sliver of sunlight cast on the floor inside the door. It's definitely the threshold, probably caused when rolling in the "that's too small for Florida" gun safe.

As for other questions, the home is just over 2 years old and this is the one thing I missed putting on the warranty repair list. I have met the builder and might call him as @JohnN suggested.

That suggestion sparked another idea. Our purchase contract included an exhibit that lists details of virtually every thing used in construction, down to the types of bulbs used in light fixtures. Off to search that exhibit for door sills or thresholds ... which says "Eversill and Everframe" for exterior doors.

The question remains: has anyone had one of these things apart without having to remove the entire threshold?

THANKS to those who have already offered suggestions!

I did an internet search on "Eversill and Everframe", and found what appears to be the manufacturers website which was much less than useful. I was hping to find some actual information on the door sill and possibly some installation instruction, no such luck. This one has me currently stumped.

Same results here. However, a company named Endura produces a product that looks identical to mine.

Better yet, I found a DIY sheet on how to replace the adjustable cap.

AND...sill cap replacement parts.

Knowing I don't have to jack-hammer the complete sill out of the doorway answers my original question. Now, for a couple of hours of mild weather...

Thanks for the follow-up!

You gotta love YouTube when it comes to looking for how to fix things around the house.

Are those screws replaceable, and if so where can I buy them? Or does the threshold need to be replaced? (Yes, I'm a DIYer but haven't solved this problem yet.)

Therma Tru makes an adjustable threshold. Depending on when your house was built, The Villages installed thousands of this brand of entry doors. Romac Door Division (Lady Lake) stocks these adjustable thresholds. You might want to stop by or give them a call 352-753-3333.

Thanks to all who had suggestions. It turns out that the product is an Endura Composite Z-Series Adjustable Cap.

It is made of "synthetic" material, "plastic" to this unsophisticated man. The original was probably broken when we rolled in our "too small for Florida" gun safe. Those adjustment screws I thought were missing weren't missing at all, just shoved aside by the event.

Replacement was easy once I searched around and found out what to order. The replacement was a fraction of an inch too long and easily cut with a handsaw. After that, it was a simple drop in.

Attached photos offer details...
