Pemko 272A42 Saddle Threshold 42 in Mill Finish Aluminum

Product Description

The PEMKO 272A42 is a saddle-style door threshold manufactured from mill finish aluminum. Designed for commercial and residential doorway applications, it bridges the gap between the door bottom and the floor surface, providing a clean transition and helping to control air, water, and debris infiltration at the threshold plane. At 42 inches in length, 6 inches in width, and 1/4 inch in height, this low-profile saddle profile is well suited for high-traffic entries where a flush or near-flush transition is required. Installation is handled by door hardware professionals and general contractors working on new construction or retrofit projects.

The 272A42 is used at exterior and interior doorways where a durable, corrosion-resistant threshold is needed. The mill finish aluminum construction makes it appropriate for applications where a natural aluminum appearance is acceptable or where the threshold will be painted or finished on site. Its 42-inch length fits standard 3-foot 6-inch door openings. The saddle profile is a common choice for commercial storefronts, office entries, institutional buildings, and residential exterior doors.

Installation Notes

Threshold installation is typically performed by door hardware installers, carpenters, or general contractors. Before installation, ensure the door and frame are plumb and the sub-floor surface is clean and level. The threshold is typically fastened through pre-drilled or field-drilled holes using appropriate fasteners for the substrate material. Consult applicable building codes, including ADA accessibility guidelines, when selecting and positioning the threshold height relative to the finished floor.
