Pemko 271A36 Saddle Threshold Mill Finish Aluminum 36in

Product Description

The PEMKO 271A36 is a saddle threshold designed for commercial and residential door openings where a low-profile floor transition is needed. Constructed from mill finish aluminum, this threshold bridges the gap between door sill and floor surface, providing a smooth, stable transition while helping to limit air and water infiltration at the base of the door. At 36 inches in length, 5 inches in width, and 0.25 inches in height, it fits standard 3-foot door openings. Architectural millwork installers, commercial door hardware technicians, and general contractors are the primary trades who work with this product.

The 271A36 is suited for interior and exterior door thresholds in light commercial and residential applications. It is commonly installed at entry doors, office suite doors, and similar openings where a clean, low-rise saddle transition is required. The mill finish aluminum construction makes it compatible with a wide range of door frame finishes and is suitable for environments where corrosion resistance and dimensional stability are priorities. A single unit covers one standard 36-inch door opening.

Installation Notes

Saddle thresholds of this type are typically installed by commercial door hardware technicians or general contractors. The threshold is fastened to the floor substrate using appropriate mechanical fasteners for the floor material — confirm fastener type and spacing with local building code requirements. Ensure the door bottom clears the threshold at full swing before securing the threshold permanently. No special tools beyond standard drill and driver equipment are typically required.
