Pemko 271A72 Saddle Threshold Mill Finish Aluminum 72in

Product Description

The PEMKO 271A72 is a saddle-style door threshold machined from mill finish aluminum. It spans 72 inches in length with a 5-inch width and a 0.25-inch height profile, making it a low-profile transition piece suited for commercial and residential door openings. The saddle design bridges the gap between the door bottom and the floor surface, reducing air infiltration and providing a durable transition at the threshold plane. Licensed contractors, door hardware installers, and commercial glaziers typically specify this component during new construction or door replacement projects.

This threshold is appropriate for use in standard single-door or pairs applications where a flat or low-rise saddle profile is required. The mill finish aluminum construction suits interior vestibules, corridor doors, and light commercial entries. It is commonly installed in conjunction with door bottoms or sweeps to complete the perimeter seal assembly. The 72-inch length accommodates standard door openings up to 6 feet wide.

Key Features

• 72-inch length accommodates standard 6-foot door openings
• Low 0.25-inch height saddle profile for minimal trip hazard at threshold
• 5-inch width provides broad contact surface across the door opening
• Mill finish aluminum construction resists corrosion in high-traffic entry conditions
• Single-piece extrusion design for straightforward field cutting and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style saddle threshold for standard commercial and residential door openings requiring a low-profile aluminum transition at the floor plane.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by door hardware contractors or commercial finish carpenters. The threshold is field-cut to final width using a miter saw or metal-cutting blade. Fastener holes should be pre-drilled to prevent extrusion cracking, and appropriate masonry or wood anchors must be selected based on the substrate. Verify floor levelness before securing to ensure consistent contact across the full threshold length.
