Pemko 170A36 Saddle Threshold Mill Finish Aluminum 36in

Product Description

The PEMKO 170A36 is a saddle-style door threshold finished in mill aluminum, designed to bridge the gap between a door and the finished floor at the base of an exterior or interior doorframe. It provides a smooth transition surface underfoot while helping to seal against air, water infiltration, and dust at the door bottom. The threshold measures 36 inches in length, 4 inches in width, and 0.5 inches in height, with a shipping profile of approximately 36.5 inches long by 4.1 inches wide by 0.6 inches high. Fabricated from aluminum with a mill finish, it suits commercial and residential applications and is typically installed by finish carpenters, door hardware installers, or general contractors during new construction or door replacement projects.

This threshold is suited for single door openings in both residential and light commercial settings. The saddle profile sits flush at the floor surface and works with standard door bottoms and door sweeps to create a complete seal assembly. The mill finish aluminum construction makes it a practical choice in high-traffic entry conditions where durability and corrosion resistance are priorities. It ships as a single unit and is ready for field cutting to exact door width as needed.

Installation Notes

Saddle thresholds are typically installed by finish carpenters or door hardware professionals using standard hand tools and appropriate fasteners for the substrate material. Ensure the existing floor and door frame are clean and level before fastening. The threshold may be field-cut to length using a miter saw or hacksaw equipped with a fine-tooth metal blade. Follow applicable building codes, including ADA guidelines where required, for threshold height and transition slope at accessible entries.
