Pemko 227A36 Saddle Threshold Mill Finish Aluminum 36in

Product Description

The PEMKO 227A36 is a saddle-style door threshold finished in mill aluminum, designed for commercial and residential doorway applications where a low-profile transition is required between floor surfaces. At 36 inches in length, it fits standard single-door openings and provides a durable, weather-resistant barrier at the sill. The aluminum construction keeps the threshold lightweight while offering long-term resistance to corrosion and wear. It is typically installed by door and hardware contractors, general contractors, or experienced maintenance technicians during new construction or retrofit projects.

This threshold is suited for use at exterior or interior doorways where a clean, functional sill transition is needed. The saddle profile accommodates foot traffic and rolling loads in light commercial settings such as offices, retail storefronts, and multifamily entrances, as well as residential front and back door applications. The mill finish aluminum is compatible with a wide range of door frame finishes and can be painted or left as-is depending on project requirements.

Installation Notes

Saddle thresholds of this type are typically installed by door hardware contractors or general contractors using standard hand tools, including a drill and appropriate fasteners for the substrate material. The threshold should be set with a continuous bead of sealant beneath it when used at exterior openings to prevent water infiltration. Always verify that the installed threshold height complies with applicable ADA and local building code requirements before fastening. Existing door hardware and the door bottom sweep should be checked for clearance after the threshold is set.
