When I get home tonight I'll see if it's in Brewers Dictionary of Phrase and Fable.
Missed these two posts yesterday. I meant that the word/meaning we are talking about is not in Chambers but the others are.

Anyway I'm with Benipete on this one

Re: Thresther
Well when I was an happyrentice, a threshers was in the form of a usually hardwood block screwed to the floor to meet the back closing edge of the door, the block usually about about one and half inches thick bevelled away from the door, with a putty sealing, there was also another bevelled piece screwed to the front of the door to stop water running down and under the door, these were soon replace by aluminium in around the early 70s I would think
