Pemko 2005AP 72 Threshold Pile Insert Mill Aluminum 72in

Product Description

The PEMKO 2005AP 72 is a mill aluminum door threshold designed for commercial and residential entryway applications. Measuring 0.5 inches in height by 5 inches in width by 72 inches in length, this threshold features an integrated pile insert channel that accommodates a weatherstripping pile seal to reduce air infiltration and debris intrusion at the door bottom. The mill aluminum finish is uncoated, allowing for field painting or anodizing if required. Licensed door hardware contractors and finish carpenters are the typical installers for this product type.

This threshold is suited for use at exterior and interior doorways where a low-profile saddle is needed to bridge the floor transition and provide a sealing surface for the door bottom. The 5-inch width accommodates most standard door frame conditions, and the 72-inch length is appropriate for wide single doors or can be field-cut to length for standard 36-inch openings. The pile insert strip works in conjunction with a door bottom sweep or pile seal to minimize gaps without impeding door swing.

Key Features

• Integrated pile insert channel accepts standard pile weatherstripping for improved air sealing
• Mill aluminum construction resists corrosion and is suitable for high-traffic entryways
• Low 0.5-inch profile reduces trip hazard at the threshold transition
• 5-inch width provides broad bearing surface for door frame conditions
• 72-inch length allows field cutting to fit standard or oversized door openings
• Uncoated mill finish accepts paint or field anodizing as needed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threshold for standard commercial and residential door frames requiring a pile insert saddle threshold in mill aluminum finish.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed door hardware contractor or finish carpenter. The threshold should be secured to the substrate using appropriate fasteners for the floor material, and the door bottom clearance should be verified before final fastening to ensure proper pile contact without binding. Field cutting to length should be performed with a fine-tooth metal blade. Check local building codes for ADA-compliant threshold height requirements at accessible entryways.
