What about cutting the groove in the floor instead, and covering with the threshold?

That way you won't weaken the threshold by cutting it, and you can also get a low profile threshold.

Alternatively how about going around the door using surface conduit disguised as door casing?

- You need to run the wires through the door opening or along the threshold across the opening? - RKA 2016-01-18 18:34:03 (141 views)

    - I like the around the door idea but there is a light switch in the way and it's right next to trim. - Raistlin 2016-01-19 19:24:29 (105 views)
      - Or just pull off all the casing on one side - you might be able to fit it in there - gription 2016-01-19 19:46:45 (112 views)
  - This or find a friend with a router. - gription 2016-01-18 11:36:37 (142 views)
    - I actually have a cheap table saw that I use to rip wood and trim when needed. - Raistlin 2016-01-18 19:47:40 (121 views)
      - Just cut a dado on the back side of the threshold - gription 2016-01-19 13:43:10 (94 views)
