Designed for maximum durability and protection, these steel door sills provide a rugged barrier against wear and tear while also offering increased traction and visibility. Whether you’re looking to extend the life of your van’s entry points or simply want a more professional, heavy-duty look, these sills are a smart upgrade.

Why Choose Legend Steel Door Sills?

Legend Steel Door Sills stand out for their durability, versatility, and ease of installation. Here’s what makes them a great addition to any Ford Transit:

  • Heavy-Duty Protection – Shields the van’s entry points from scratches, dents, and wear caused by frequent use.
  • Multiple Configuration Options – Available with or without a full lower step to match different preferences and van layouts.
  • High-Visibility Color Choices – Offered in high-visibility yellow for added safety or black for a sleek, understated look.
  • Material Options – Choose from steel for maximum strength or aluminum for a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative.
  • Non-Slip Textured Surface – Provides extra grip when stepping in and out of the van, even in wet or muddy conditions.
  • Simple Installation – Securely attaches with just six fasteners, making it an easy DIY upgrade.

Exploring the Different Legend Steel Door Sill Options

1. Full Lower Step vs. Standard Sill

Legend offers two main configurations for the front door sill:

  • With Full Lower Step – Covers both the upper door threshold and the plastic step insert, providing complete protection.
  • Without Full Lower Step – Covers only the upper door threshold, leaving the factory step insert exposed.

The full lower step version is ideal for vans with high foot traffic or those frequently loading and unloading heavy equipment, as it adds an extra layer of steel reinforcement.

2. Color Choices: High-Visibility Yellow or Black

  • High-Visibility Yellow – Great for safety-conscious fleet operators, this bright color helps improve visibility in low-light conditions.
  • Black – A subtle, professional look that seamlessly blends with the van’s interior.

3. Aluminum vs. Steel Construction

  • Steel – Provides maximum durability and impact resistance, making it ideal for heavy-use work vans.
  • Aluminum – Only available in the upper threshold design (no full lower step option), featuring a diamond plate texture for added grip.

Pro Tip:
If you frequently work in wet or dirty environments, the textured surface of these door sills provides much-needed traction to prevent slipping.

How Do These Sills Improve Durability and Safety?

1. Protects the Van’s Floor and Step Area

The factory Ford Transit door sills are prone to scratches, dents, and rust from constant use. Installing Legend Steel Door Sills adds a protective layer that prevents long-term damage.

2. Prevents Damage to the Lower Step Area (With Full Step Option)

On Ford Transit models, the lower step area can take a beating from foot traffic, cargo loading, and accidental impacts. The full lower step option adds reinforced protection, ensuring the plastic factory step doesn’t crack or wear down over time.

3. Improves Grip and Safety

The textured steel surface enhances traction, reducing the risk of slipping—especially in wet, muddy, or icy conditions. This makes it an excellent upgrade for fleet vehicles or vans used in construction, delivery, and service industries.

4. Adds a Professional, Heavy-Duty Look

Beyond functionality, Legend Steel Door Sills give your van a sleek, rugged appearance that complements a well-organized, professional work vehicle.

Installation: Quick and Easy Upgrade

One of the biggest advantages of the Legend Steel Door Sills is their simple installation process.

  • If you choose the full lower step option, you’ll need to remove the factory plastic trim before installation.
  • A spacer is included in the kit to ensure a secure fit.
  • The sills attach using four screws and two push-in plastic clips, making installation straightforward and secure.
  • The rear door sill (if purchased) installs similarly, using black push-in clips to attach it firmly to the van’s floor.

Pro Tip:
Pairing these door sills with a rigid van floor upgrade can create a seamless, heavy-duty cargo area that’s both durable and functional.
