Pemko 221AV36 Door Shoe Vinyl Insert Mill Finish 36 in

Product Description

The PEMKO 221AV36 is a door shoe with a vinyl insert, finished in mill aluminum, designed to seal the gap at the bottom of a door. It mounts to the underside of the door face and compresses against the threshold surface to block air infiltration, dust, insects, and light passage. The 221AV36 measures 36.25 inches in length, making it a standard 3-foot door application component. At 1.75 pounds, it is lightweight enough for single-tech installation. This part is installed by commercial door hardware technicians, glaziers, and general contractors working on new construction or door replacement projects.

The 221AV36 is suited for standard 36-inch commercial and residential door assemblies where a bottom seal is required. It is appropriate for interior and exterior door applications where weather resistance, dust control, or basic sound attenuation is needed at the door bottom. The mill finish aluminum construction blends with standard commercial door hardware and works with a wide range of threshold profiles.

Installation Notes

Door shoes are typically installed by commercial door hardware technicians or finish carpenters. Before installation, remove the door from its hinges and ensure the door bottom is clean and free of debris. Fasten the shoe securely to the door face per the fastener pattern provided with the product, confirming the vinyl insert makes even contact with the threshold across the full width. ADA clearance requirements and local building codes should be verified before selecting door bottom seal height and sweep resistance.
