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.)
I had the same problem and while it was under warranty I had it worked on 3 times. The first they came out and adjusted the threshold. It lasted a few weeks until being stepped on enough to push it back down in the middle. I called it in again and this time they put a shim under the threshold. This appeared to work, but when I had my 11 month inspection done the inspector found light between the door and the threshold. It was written up in my report and they came out and did more shimming. I will see how long this stays in position.
I do know that you can find this exact threshold on Amazon for around 35.00 if you need to replace it yourself.. If your house is still under the first year warranty al it in.
