I need to install a threshold for a 45" wide door. The current
threshold is marble that is 8" wide and 45" long. It is currently
flush with the floor and there is a small gap between the door and the
threshold. I would like to replace this threshold with one that is
raised from the floor to reduce that gap. Does anyone know where I
can buy thresholds for this project?

Your local building supply?

However, if it's just a small gap, I'd suggest a door seal strip would
be a far simpler solution.

I searched my local building supply (home depot and lowes) and they
did not sell any thresholds that size. And I am not quite sure what
the other person is referring to. This is a threshold to a entry door
and has nothing to do with the kitchen.

I suggested a "real" building supply, not one of the borgs. A well-
stocked yard I would expect to have 48" to 72" in stock or readily
available in day or two for replacement double doors, etc.

As Edwin suggests, failing that either fabricate your own or have one
made at a local millworks if you can't make any sort of bottom seal or
sweep work at all. There are sweeps w/ a rising mechanism built into
them as well as fixed ones.
