MaxineThreshold. Or a sill
Or Soleplate. DOOR SILL as opposed to the term WINDOW SILL. OR DOOR STEP. A Soleplate is more correctly, the piece of timber (usually about 50mmthick) placed in the soil and beneath a timber or concrete Stump of a house. It is typically 200 x 300mm and made from Red Gum or Jarrah so that it lasts a long time in the damp ground.
(USA answer) The bottom of a door frame is usually called the threshold or doorsill. A sole plate is the first piece of wood that lays flat on its widest face at the bottom of a stud wall. Studs (usually 2x4's or 2x6's) rest vertically on the sole plate. It may be made of pressure treated wood to prevent decay or a specie that resists decay naturally such as cedar, or cypress, or redwood. Corrected in this answer: The plate that rests on top of a foundation wall is called the sill plate (not sole plate).

How do you remove an exterior door on a house?
If you just want to remove the door, simply unscrew the hinges.Be careful, it will be pretty heavy.If you want to replace the door and frame as a unit:Take the door off the frame by removing the hinges.Remove the trim (moldings) around the interior and exterior of the door frame.Cut the door jamb completely through at about waist hight.It doesn't matter which side you start on, it just makes the frame easier to remove.Pry the door frame you've cut away from the studs.Once you get one side out the top and the other side will come out easily.The threshold will be stuck down pretty well, you'll need a big pry bar to get it up.Okay, now you've got a big hole in the font of the house.Have you ever put in an exterior door before?

Depends on the door, but always at the top when using a garage door opener. Then as close to the hinges as you can get on the panels.
