bootscraper

The metal blade (eg fixed to a house) for people to scrape the mud off their boots/shoes/sabots/galloshes etc before entering the premises.

I was told there was a specific word rather than the generic grattoir or racloir but have failed to locate it. Maybe it is a derived word from those like raclette (ice windscreen scraper).

Any ideas anyone?
