Pemko 345AV36 Aluminum Door Bottom Retainer Rain Drip Vinyl Brush

Product Description

The PEMKO 345AV36 is an aluminum door bottom retainer featuring an integrated rain drip and vinyl brush seal, designed to control water infiltration and air leakage at the base of exterior doors. The retainer is finished in mill finish aluminum, providing a clean, uncoated surface suitable for painting or anodizing on site. At 36 inches in length, it fits standard single-door openings and is sold as a single unit. Licensed contractors, glaziers, and door hardware specialists install this product during new construction or door retrofit projects where a durable, low-profile threshold accessory is required.

This retainer is suited for commercial and residential exterior door applications where rain drip protection and draft control are needed at the door bottom. The vinyl brush insert creates a flexible seal against uneven floors or thresholds, accommodating minor surface irregularities. It is commonly used on aluminum or wood exterior door frames in applications requiring weather control at the door sweep line.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed door hardware technician or general contractor. Ensure the door is secured in the open position and all power-operated door hardware is de-energized before fitting the retainer. The retainer is fastened to the door bottom face using appropriate screws for the door material; verify fastener length to avoid penetrating through the door panel. Follow local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for weatherstripping continuity and ADA threshold height compliance.
