Pemko 172A36 Saddle Threshold Mill Finish Aluminum 36 in

Product Description

The PEMKO 172A36 is a saddle-style door threshold manufactured from mill finish aluminum. Saddle thresholds span the gap at the base of a door opening, providing a transition surface between flooring materials while helping to limit air, water, and debris infiltration at the door sill. This threshold measures 36.5 inches in length, 6 inches in width, and 0.5 inches in height, making it suited for standard single-door commercial and residential openings. It ships as a single unit. Licensed contractors, door hardware specialists, and facilities maintenance technicians typically handle threshold installation as part of new construction or retrofit weatherization work.

This threshold is appropriate for commercial and residential door openings requiring a low-profile sill transition. The mill finish aluminum construction suits interior or protected exterior applications where a bare aluminum appearance is acceptable or where the installer plans to finish the surface to match the surrounding hardware. Typical install scenarios include storefront entries, office suite doors, and residential entry doors undergoing weatherstripping upgrades.

Key Features

• Saddle profile provides a smooth, low-profile transition at the door sill
• Mill finish aluminum construction resists corrosion and is suitable for painting or anodizing
• 36.5-inch length accommodates standard single-door openings and allows field trimming to width
• 6-inch width covers the full door sill area for complete gap coverage
• 0.5-inch height keeps the threshold within low-profile ADA-relevant clearance ranges
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation saddle threshold for standard single-door commercial and residential door frames requiring a 36-inch sill span.

Installation Notes

Saddle thresholds are installed by door hardware contractors or licensed general contractors and typically require drilling and countersinking fastener holes into the sill substrate. The threshold should be set into a bed of sealant on exterior or semi-exposed applications to prevent moisture intrusion beneath the base. Field-cut the length with a fine-tooth metal saw or miter saw equipped with a non-ferrous blade if the rough opening requires a shorter span. Verify local building code compliance, including ADA maximum rise requirements, before finalizing the installation height.
