CheckItOut Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Inspected a 2004 house that did not have kickplates on the exterior doors. Threshold plate had a void about 2" deep (going back toward the house). All doors were covered by porch roofs. So would you put this on the summary and call it a trip hazard or just say they are supposed to be there in general?
chicago Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 If you are talking about the kind of kick plates I am thinking of they are not required. No picture of the threshold?

If so Yes, the threshold needs to be supported otherwise it will bend . Most of the time the builder sticks bricks or a 2x4 under it to provide support.
