Pemko 2005AV36 Latching Panic Exit Saddle Threshold 36in

Product Description

The PEMKO 2005AV36 is a latching panic exit saddle threshold designed for commercial and institutional door openings where panic hardware is present. The saddle profile accommodates the latch bolt of a panic exit device, allowing the door to close and latch securely without obstructing egress. Constructed with a vinyl mill finish aluminum surface, this threshold provides a clean, low-profile transition between door faces. At 36.5 inches in length and 5 inches wide, it covers a standard 36-inch door opening. Licensed door hardware installers and finish carpenters handle this type of threshold in commercial new construction and renovation work.

This saddle threshold is suited for commercial and institutional applications where panic exit devices are mounted on single doors. It works in high-traffic corridors, stairwell egress doors, and similar life-safety openings that require compliant, functional door hardware at the floor level. The aluminum construction and vinyl insert make it appropriate for interior applications where durability and a finished appearance are both required. Installers specify this profile when the door bottom must clear cleanly while maintaining a positive latch condition with the exit device.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed door hardware installer or finish carpenter in accordance with local building codes and manufacturer instructions. Before installation, ensure the door and panic hardware are de-energized or secured to prevent accidental operation. The threshold is typically fastened to the floor substrate using appropriate mechanical fasteners suited to the floor material. Verify that the finished threshold height complies with ADA maximum rise requirements for the jurisdiction before final fastening.
