How do you glue threshold to concrete?
PL Premium polyurethyne construction adhesive is the best glue on the face of the earth, IMO and will practically weld your wood threshold to the concrete. Squeeze a bead or three under where the thresh will go and smack it down into the glue. Weight it in place overnite and you be fine.
How do you secure a threshold?
Use adhesive to secure the threshold. Make sure the adhesive you choose is approved for use with both the threshold material and the floor material. Contact cement creates a strong, durable bond, but it won’t allow you reposition the threshold after you set it and apply pressure.
How do you secure a door threshold to concrete?
Is the correct way to install the threshold to the concrete slab to:

Can you glue down a threshold?
If the subfloor is concrete, you may need to glue the threshold down. To do this apply a strong adhesive to the edge of the wood flooring, and then place the threshold over the gap between the two sections of floor and push down on the piece to glue down.
Can I glue a transition strip?
You can attach the transition in one of two ways. You can glue it to the floor with liquid nails or you could use the track that comes with it to attach it. If you are using liquid nails, apply a bead of the liquid nails to the underside of the transition.
