Would this work? It's not dissimilar to what has already been suggested. I've found an example on page 21 of the booklet referenced below. Sorry, it's in pdf format, so can't link directly.

: I like this option. It's elegant and pictorial. It's also nice to see the word "threshold" used literally for a change!

Point of entry
'Schutzmaßnahmen wie Antrittsstufen' = protective measures taken around (potential) points of entry; yes, literally,' bottom step' but using 'point of entry' leaves it a bit less specific, open to a slightly wider interpretation.

: That'd be Eintrittsstelle, not Antrittsstufe, and it completely ignores the fact that it should be elevated/stepped, i.e. not flush with ground
