Pemko 272A72 Saddle Threshold Mill Finish Aluminum 72in

Product Description

The PEMKO 272A72 is a saddle threshold made from mill finish aluminum, designed for installation at door openings in commercial and residential construction. At 72 inches (6 feet) in length, 6 inches wide, and 1/4 inch in height, this low-profile threshold bridges the gap between door and floor, providing a clean transition surface while supporting weathertight performance. It is typically installed by door hardware specialists, finish carpenters, or general contractors as part of a complete door assembly. The flat saddle profile accommodates high-traffic entryways and pairs with door bottoms or seals for a finished threshold system.

The 272A72 is suited for both new construction and retrofit door openings requiring a durable aluminum threshold. The 72-inch length fits standard single and oversized door frames without field splicing. The mill finish aluminum surface accepts paint or anodizing for finish matching when needed. This threshold is a practical choice for commercial corridors, storefront entries, office buildings, and institutional facilities where a low saddle profile is specified.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style saddle threshold for standard commercial and residential door openings requiring a 72-inch aluminum threshold with a low-profile saddle profile.

Installation Notes

Saddle thresholds are typically installed by door hardware technicians or finish carpenters using countersunk fasteners through pre-drilled holes into the subfloor or sill. Ensure the door opening is clean, level, and free of debris before setting the threshold. Apply a bead of sealant beneath the threshold at exterior installations to prevent water infiltration. Follow local building codes and ADA guidelines for threshold height restrictions at accessible entryways.
