Pemko 2548A36 Saddle Threshold Mill Finish Aluminum 36 in

Product Description

The PEMKO 2548A36 is a saddle-style door threshold finished in mill aluminum, designed to seal the gap at the base of a door opening and provide a smooth, durable transition between floor surfaces. At 36 inches in length and 8 inches in width with a 1/2 inch rise, this threshold suits standard door openings in both new construction and replacement applications. Weighing 4.4 pounds, the aluminum construction keeps it manageable during installation while delivering long-term resistance to corrosion and wear. It is typically installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or door hardware specialists as part of a complete door assembly.

This saddle threshold is suited for use in commercial and residential door openings where a low-profile floor transition is required. The mill finish aluminum integrates cleanly into a range of door frame configurations and pairs well with standard door bottom sweeps or existing weatherstripping assemblies. It is well-suited for interior and covered exterior thresholds where a clean saddle profile is specified. Where required, products in the PEMKO line carry ADA-compliant, skid-resistant, fire-labeled, and smoke-labeled options, making this a versatile choice for architects and contractors working to meet current building codes.

Installation Notes

Saddle thresholds are typically installed by finish carpenters, door hardware technicians, or licensed general contractors. Before installation, ensure the door is closed and the existing threshold or flooring surface is clean and level. Fasteners should be selected based on the substrate material — concrete, wood, or steel sill — and countersunk flush with the threshold surface to avoid a trip hazard. Verify that the installed rise height meets applicable ADA and local building code requirements for accessibility.
