"Exterior" doors without thresholds
We are going to update a breeze room which has three doors that, ideally, would have bottom seals without thresholds. These doors all open on flat concrete so having a threshold would make at least a bit of a trip hazard. I looked briefly at Home Depot and it appeared "complicated" to just remove the threshold and install without it. Are there any other options? Ideally, I'd want a style that is interior-like (top and side frame) without a threshold with enough clearance to install a sweep or door bottom seal.
Thanks for any assistance.

Doors that open onto concrete that is the same level inside and outside will have problems with water blowing in under the doors. The whole point of a threshold is so that the door can be cut high enough that it clears a rug and so that the door bottom or sweep weatherstripping on the door doesn't drag on the ground as you open and close it.

Most likely you would also find out to late that "flat" concrete is not so flat when trying to open the door.
