A door pan is typically a sheet of metal or plastic installed under a door sill to help prevent water from seeping into the building through the bottom of the door. The door pan is typically installed during building construction, but it can also be added later as part of a repair or renovation project.
Here are some general steps for installing a door pan:
Remove the old door sill, if necessary.
Cut a piece of metal or plastic to fit the opening where the door sill will be installed. Be sure to measure carefully and account for any angles or curves in the opening.
Apply a generous amount of sealant to the bottom of the opening where the door pan will be installed.
Place the door pan into the opening, ensuring it fits snugly and is level.
Apply more sealant around the edges of the door pan to create a watertight seal.
Install the new door sill on top of the door pan, securing it with screws or adhesive.
Apply more sealant around the edges of the door sill to create a watertight seal.
It's important to note that the specific steps for installing a door pan may vary depending on the type of door pan and the tools you have available. Be sure to consult the manufacturer's instructions for specific guidance on installation. If you are uncomfortable installing a door pan, it's always best to consult a professional to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.
