Pemko 272A48 Saddle Threshold Mill Finish Aluminum 48in

Product Description

The PEMKO 272A48 is a saddle threshold manufactured from aluminum with a mill finish. It measures 48 inches in length, 6 inches in width, and 0.25 inches in height, providing a low-profile transition strip designed for installation at door openings. The saddle profile bridges the gap between floor surfaces on either side of a door, reducing trip hazards and limiting air, water, and debris infiltration at the threshold. This product is installed by commercial door hardware specialists, general contractors, and finish carpenters during new construction or door replacement projects.

The 272A48 is suited for use at commercial or residential door openings where a surface-mounted saddle threshold is required. The 48-inch length fits standard single-door openings and can be field-cut to accommodate non-standard frame widths. The mill finish aluminum construction makes it compatible with a wide range of door hardware finishes and leaves the surface ready for field finishing if required by the project specification.

Key Features

• 48-inch length accommodates standard single door openings with option to field-cut
• Saddle profile provides low-profile floor transition and reduces trip hazard at threshold
• Mill finish aluminum construction resists corrosion and is ready for field finishing
• 6-inch width spans typical door frame rough openings
• 0.25-inch height maintains low-profile installation at door base

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation saddle threshold for standard commercial and residential door openings requiring a surface-mounted aluminum threshold.

Installation Notes

Saddle thresholds are typically installed by commercial door hardware mechanics or finish carpenters using standard fasteners driven into the subfloor or sill. The threshold should be set level and secured snugly against the door stop to prevent movement under foot traffic. Field-cut the length as needed using a fine-tooth metal blade before fastening. Verify local building code requirements, including ADA maximum ramp height provisions, before final installation.
