Cal-Royal DS-414 Aluminum Door Shoe with Vinyl Insert for Wood and Hollow Metal Doors

The Cal-Royal DS-414 Aluminum Door Shoe with Vinyl Insert is engineered to seal the underside of a door against dust, drafts, light, smoke, and fire while protecting the bottom edge of the door from wear.

Engineered and tested for durability and reliable performance, this door shoe helps deliver an energy-efficient door opening that meets or exceeds industry standards for weather sealing.

Cal-Royal DS-414DV-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal DS-414 door shoe work on a hollow metal door, or is it only for wood?
Both. The DS-414 is an aluminum channel door shoe with a vinyl insert made for wood or hollow metal doors, and it mounts to the face of the door bottom rather than into the door edge, so the substrate does not change the part you order. The channel is punched with slotted holes, so you set the height against your floor or threshold at install instead of ordering a different shoe for each opening.
2) What size gap under the door will a 1-3/16 inch wide, 11/16 inch tall door shoe cover?
The DS-414 measures 1-3/16 inches (29.83mm) wide and 11/16 inches (17.5mm) in total height, so it drops the sealing line about 11/16 of an inch below the door bottom before the vinyl compresses. That is a low-profile shoe meant for a normal undercut over a threshold or finished floor, not for closing a large gap left by a short door. If you are fighting a big undercut, look at a deeper bottom seal instead of trying to stretch this profile.
3) Do I need a door shoe with a rain drip on an exterior door, or is the plain DS-414 enough?
For an exterior opening taking driven rain, use the rain drip version. Cal-Royal offers the same shoe with a rain drip design under the DSR prefix, which throws water off the face of the door instead of letting it run down into the seal. The plain DS-414 handles dust, drafts, light and smoke and protects the bottom edge of the door, which is all you need on an interior or protected opening. If you want a rain drip from another brand, the Pemko 211V is an L-shaped door shoe with a rain drip and the Pemko 215 pairs a rain drip with a fire rating.
4) Which door shoe should be used on a fire-rated opening instead of the Cal-Royal DS-414?
The Pemko 210 is a fire-rated door bottom shoe with an Eco-V insert in 36 inch aluminum construction, and the Pemko 215 is a fire-rated door shoe carrying UL10C certification with a rain drip and Eco-V insert. Where the opening is a labeled fire door and the submittal calls for a listed bottom seal, those are the two to specify. The DS-414 seals against dust, drafts, light, smoke, and fire on wood or hollow metal doors.
5) What is a direct alternative to the Cal-Royal DS-414 door shoe that uses a vinyl insert?
The Pemko 209 door shoe carries an Eco-V vinyl insert and a 1/2 inch by 1-3/8 inch profile, so it seals the door bottom the same way the DS-414 does with its aluminum channel and vinyl insert. The DS-414 runs 1-3/16 inch wide by 11/16 inch high, so the 209 is the wider, shallower profile of the two. Confirm the undercut at the door bottom before swapping, since the height difference changes how the insert meets the threshold.
6) What door shoe deflects rainwater on an exterior opening rather than just sealing the door bottom?
The Pemko 211V is an L-shaped door shoe with a rain drip and a GREENGUARD Gold certified Eco-V insert, and the Pemko 215 pairs a rain drip with an Eco-V insert on a fire-rated body. Cal-Royal also builds the door shoe with a rain drip design under the DSR prefix, which deflects water away from the door while sealing the bottom. On an exterior door taking direct weather, one of the drip designs is the right call; the plain DS-414 profile suits interior and protected openings.
7) What is the difference between a door shoe like the DS-414 and a surface-applied door sweep?
A door shoe wraps the bottom edge of the door in an aluminum channel, so it seals and takes the abuse that would otherwise wear the door bottom. A sweep only screws to one face and does nothing for the edge itself. On a door that already has a chewed-up or swelling bottom, or one that gets kicked and cart-struck in a corridor, the shoe is the right call. Where the door bottom is sound and you just want a quick air seal, a sweep is less work to install.
8) What else could I use instead of the Cal-Royal DS-414 door shoe?
Closest in kind is the Pemko 209, a door shoe with an Eco-V vinyl insert on a 1/2 x 1-3/8 inch profile, which is a wider, shallower channel than the DS-414's 1-3/16 by 11/16. If your spec calls for neoprene rather than vinyl, the NGP 112 is a neoprene shoe on aluminum alloy rated for a temperature range of -20F to 200F, which is the one to reach for on a cold-storage or unconditioned opening. The NGP 12T is a thermoplastic shoe on a mill aluminum base with vinyl fins, a multi-fin seal rather than a single insert.
9) I'm standardizing door bottoms across a building. Can I order one part for every opening?
Largely, yes. The DS-414 handles both wood and hollow metal leaves, so a mixed building of wood corridor doors and hollow metal stair and service doors takes the same shoe. Order 36 inch for 3-0 leaves and 48 inch where you have wider doors or want cutting stock, and pick the finish per elevation, mill for back-of-house, dark bronze where it shows. The exceptions to break out separately are rated openings and exterior doors taking weather, which want a fire-rated or rain-drip shoe.
10) Can I adjust the height of the DS-414 door shoe after the door is hung?
Yes. The channel is punched with slotted holes, so you loosen the fasteners and slide the shoe up or down to set the vinyl against the floor or threshold. That matters on an existing opening where the floor is out of level or a new finish floor went in after the door, and it means you set the seal by feel rather than by measuring the undercut before you order.
11) Is the NGP 12T a substitute for the Cal-Royal DS-414 door shoe?
The NGP 12T is a thermoplastic door shoe with a mill aluminum base and vinyl fins, so it seals with multiple fins rather than the single vinyl insert of the DS-414. Fin seals ride differently over an uneven floor or a threshold than a single insert does, so measure the gap at the door bottom before treating the two as interchangeable. Both mount to the door bottom on an aluminum base; the DS-414 channel is punched with slotted holes so the height can be adjusted during installation.
12) What is the difference between a neoprene door shoe and the vinyl-insert Cal-Royal DS-414?
The NGP 112 is a neoprene door shoe in aluminum alloy construction rated for a temperature range of -20 F to 200 F, where the DS-414 uses a flexible vinyl insert in an aluminum channel. Neoprene is the sealing material to look at for coolers, boiler rooms, and mechanical spaces where the door bottom sees temperature swings; the vinyl insert on the DS-414 covers standard commercial openings in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, and multi-tenant residential.
13) Which door shoe carries a low-emission certification for a school or healthcare project?
The Pemko 211V uses a GREENGUARD Gold certified Eco-V insert, which is the one to put on a submittal where the specification calls for low-emitting materials in classrooms or patient areas. It is an L-shaped shoe with a rain drip. The Cal-Royal DS-414 is a commercial door shoe used in educational facilities and healthcare institutions with an aluminum channel and vinyl insert.
14) Can a 36 inch door shoe be ordered to match a standard 3-0 door across several brands?
Yes. The Pemko 210 fire-rated door bottom shoe is built in 36 inch aluminum construction, and the Cal-Royal DS-414 comes in 36 inch and 48 inch lengths in mill finish aluminum or dark bronze anodized aluminum, both with the vinyl insert. The 48 inch length is cut down for wider leaves or door pairs where a 36 inch stick will not reach.
15) Will an aluminum and vinyl door shoe hold up on a high-traffic commercial opening?
The DS-414 is a commercial-grade part, and the aluminum channel is the reason. Carts, mops and kicks hit the shoe rather than the door bottom, so the wear item is a strip of extruded aluminum you can replace instead of a door leaf you have to refinish or swap. The vinyl insert is the consumable and it is the part that eventually flattens out on a door that cycles all day.
