Pemko 270A36 Saddle Threshold Mill Finish Aluminum

Product Description

The PEMKO 270A36 is a saddle-style door threshold manufactured from mill finish aluminum. It installs at the base of a door opening to bridge the gap between the door and the finished floor, providing a smooth transition surface while helping to reduce air, water, and debris infiltration at the sill. The threshold measures 36 inches in length, 4 inches in width, and 0.25 inches in height, making it suitable for standard single-door openings in both residential and light commercial applications. At 1.6 pounds, it is lightweight enough for single-technician installation. This product is typically installed by carpenters, door and hardware technicians, or general contractors during new construction or renovation work.

The 270A36 is well suited for interior and exterior door openings where a low-profile saddle threshold is required. Its mill finish aluminum construction resists corrosion in moderate-exposure environments, making it appropriate for entryway, storefront, and interior passage door applications. The 4-inch width accommodates standard sill conditions and provides adequate bearing surface for the door bottom seal or sweep. This threshold is sold as a single unit and is a direct fit for 36-inch door openings without field cutting in most standard-width frames.

Installation Notes

Saddle thresholds are typically installed by carpenters or door hardware technicians using standard hand tools. Ensure the subfloor or sill surface is clean, level, and free of debris before securing the threshold. Fasten per the manufacturer instructions using appropriate fasteners for the substrate material. Verify compliance with local building codes and ADA guidelines regarding maximum threshold height and transition beveling before finalizing installation.
