Pemko 2005AV72 Latching Panic Exit Saddle Threshold

Product Description

The PEMKO 2005AV72 is a latching panic exit saddle threshold designed for commercial and institutional door openings where life-safety egress hardware is present. Built from aluminum with a mill finish and fitted with a vinyl insert, this threshold accommodates the base of panic exit devices while maintaining a low-profile transition between floor surfaces. At 72 inches in length, 5 inches in width, and 0.5 inches in height, it suits standard double-door or wide single-door openings. Licensed contractors and finish carpenters working on commercial door assemblies install this component as part of a compliant egress and threshold system.

This saddle threshold is intended for use at exit doors equipped with panic hardware in commercial, institutional, and high-traffic occupancy applications. It bridges the floor transition at the door opening while allowing the panic device latchbolt to engage properly. The mill finish aluminum construction resists corrosion in interior and semi-exposed conditions. It is sold as a single unit and is suited for new construction and retrofit projects where an existing threshold must be replaced to maintain code-compliant egress function.

Key Features

• 72-inch length fits standard commercial door openings without field cutting
• Vinyl insert accommodates panic exit device latchbolt engagement
• Mill finish aluminum construction for durability and corrosion resistance
• Low-profile 0.5-inch height supports ADA-compliant threshold transitions
• 5-inch width provides stable coverage across the door opening floor transition

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation saddle threshold for commercial exit doors equipped with latching panic exit devices.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed finish carpenter, door hardware specialist, or general contractor working under applicable building codes. Fasten the threshold to the subfloor using manufacturer-recommended fasteners appropriate for the floor substrate. Ensure the panic exit device is de-energized or the door is secured before beginning threshold work. Verify that the installed threshold height does not exceed ADA maximum rise requirements per applicable accessibility standards.
