I am hanging new Pre-Hung Exterior doors, that will have 3/4 strip oak floors meeting them perpendicular to flooring. The doors have 1″1/4 height from bottom of threshold to top of threshold. Is it best to run oak flooring under door threshold or butt into threshold? If flooring goes under threshold there would 1’1/4 clearance to the bottom of the door, if flooring butts threshold I can make the door clearance any height. What’s best for flooring and the floor to top of threshold height?
Thanks for your help!

Most non-thinking smucks, would w/o thinking throw the door jamb on top of the subfloor and butt to it........
Set the door in relation to the interior finish, throw rug ?

Thanks for your comments and help. The door has an Fiberglass and aluminum threshold, so the flooring would have to but the threshold or silde under it. I would only make the flooring slide under about a 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch. Yes, that's one of my concern is being able to get a heavy durable floor mat on floor for winter sloppy boots. I do not want to make threshold to high as to trip on yet I want to have clearance for door mat.
