10. A door threshold system comprising:
-
a door threshold structured to be mounted to a floor structure within a door opening of a wall; and a water barrier comprising an elongated structure that is structured to be disposed on a bottom of the threshold along a toe portion of the threshold such that the water barrier covers a joint formed between the bottom of the threshold and the floor structure when the threshold is mounted to the floor structure, thereby preventing water from penetrating the joint, the water barrier further structured to provide lateral support to the toe portion of the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 15, 16)

17. A pre-hung door system comprising:
-
a door frame comprising a header and a pair of opposing jams; a door pivotally connected to one of the jams; a door threshold connected at opposing ends to a bottom end of each of the opposing jams, the threshold structured to be mounted to a floor structure within a door opening of a wall in which the door system is structured to be disposed; and a water barrier comprising an elongated structure that is structured to be disposed on a bottom of the threshold along a toe portion of the threshold such that the water barrier covers a joint formed between the bottom of the threshold and the floor structure when the threshold is mounted to the floor structure, thereby preventing water from penetrating the joint, the water barrier further structured to provide lateral support to the toe portion of the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
