Weird Question: Metal Exterior Door Piece Name?

Keebler Elf said:

What's the vertical strip of metal called at the bottom of a doorway that faces the outside, is about 1/4 to 1/2" high (probably varies by door), is smooth with little screws attaching it to the door threshold (not the door itself), and runs the entire width of the doorway? It's the vertical piece that faces outside (not the metal footplate/under door threshold that you step on when you enter). It's the part that remains outside the door (exposed to the elements), down at the bottom near the ground.

The one I need to replace is bent outwards in the centre (probably screw missing and now it's badly bent) but I have no idea what it's called.

Anyone know?

• Threshold Stop Strip: A specialized, low-profile strip (sometimes called a "stop strip") that is screwed directly onto the main threshold to create a seal against the door.
• Adjustable Threshold: The small screws you mentioned often adjust a wooden or vinyl insert on the threshold, allowing it to move up and down to create a tight seal against the bottom of the door, as mentioned in.
• Threshold Reducer/Transition Strip: If it is a thin piece used to bridge the gap between the threshold and the floor, it is called a transition strip or reducer.
