The Pemko 149 Series Bumper Threshold provides superior weather sealing for outswing doors with its precision 2-1/2"; wide x 3/4"; high aluminum construction. This fire-rated threshold creates a high-dam barrier seal when the door butts up to the bumper in the closed position, effectively blocking air, moisture, dust, and other elements from entering. Available with three specialized insert options - ThermoSeal (T), Pile Brush (P), and Eco-V (V) - to meet specific performance requirements, with GREENGUARD certified options for improved indoor air quality compliance.

Pemko 149DV 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pemko 149 threshold work on an inswing door, or is it outswing only?
Outswing. The 149 is a bumper threshold: the door closes against the vinyl bumper on the high side of the threshold, which is what forms the high-dam barrier against air, water and dust. That geometry only works when the door swings away from the bumper. On an inswing opening the door would sweep across the 3/4 inch dam and bind, so you want a low-profile saddle or an interlocking sill there instead.
2) How wide is the Pemko 149 bumper threshold, and will it fit my door sill?
The 149 measures 2-1/2 inches wide by 3/4 inch high. That is a narrow footprint compared with most commercial saddle thresholds, so it drops onto a sill or slab where you have limited flat bearing surface ahead of the door. Measure from the face of the closed door out to the edge of your sill: you need the full 2-1/2 inches of flat bearing, and the door face has to land on the bumper rather than over it.
3) What is the difference between the Pemko 149P, 149T and 149V thresholds?
Same aluminum extrusion, three different inserts. The 149P carries a pile brush insert, which seals against draft, dust, moisture, fumes, light and sound while keeping door friction low. The 149T uses the ThermoSeal insert, which is GREENGUARD certified and sound tested, so it is the pick when acoustics matter. The 149V uses the Eco-V insert, a bio-based material with no phthalates or heavy metals and GREENGUARD Gold certification, aimed at green building projects. If your spec calls out indoor air quality credits, go 149T or 149V; if the door sees heavy traffic and you want the lightest operating resistance, the 149P brush.
4) Is the Pemko 149 threshold fire rated?
Yes, the 149 Series bumper threshold is fire rated, which is why it shows up on labeled openings in schools, hospitals and government buildings. The base is aluminum.
5) What lengths does the Pemko 149 bumper threshold come in for a wide opening or a pair of doors?
The 149 is made from 24 inches up to 185 inches, so a single piece covers a standard 36 inch leaf, a pair of doors, and most storefront-width openings without splicing. Stocked and ready to order is the 36 inch length in either mill finish or dark bronze anodized aluminum, in all three insert versions.
6) Which finish should I order to match the other thresholds in my building?
Two finishes on the 149: mill finish aluminum, the plain silver extrusion that matches most existing commercial thresholds and aluminum storefront, and dark bronze anodized aluminum for bronze door frames and bronze anodized entrances. Both are offered with all three inserts (pile brush, ThermoSeal and Eco-V) at 36 inches, so the insert choice does not restrict the finish.
7) Can I cut a Pemko 149 threshold down to fit my opening?
Yes. It is an aluminum extrusion with a continuous insert running its length, so it cuts to width with a miter saw and a non-ferrous blade, and the insert trims with a knife. Order the next length up from your opening rather than the next one down. Anchor holes get drilled to suit your sill; the extrusion is light at 0.39 lbs, so it wants mechanical anchors into the substrate, not adhesive alone.
8) Do I need a bumper threshold like the Pemko 149, or a plain saddle threshold?
Depends on what you are keeping out. A plain saddle just bridges the floor transition and relies on the door bottom sweep for the seal. The 149 bumper adds a 3/4 inch high dam that the door closes against, so you get a second line of defense against wind-driven rain, blowing dust and drafts at the sill. On an exterior outswing entrance that faces weather, or on a room where you are chasing sound or air infiltration, the bumper is the one you want. On an interior transition or an inswing door, it is the wrong part.
9) Will the Pemko 149 threshold help with a LEED or indoor air quality spec?
Two of the three insert versions carry GREENGUARD certification: the 149T with the ThermoSeal insert, and the 149V with the Eco-V insert, which is GREENGUARD Gold and made from bio-based material with no phthalates or heavy metals. If the submittal calls for low-emitting materials, specify the 149T or 149V, not the 149P pile brush.
10) Which Pemko 149 insert is best for a high-traffic entrance where the door has to open easily?
The 149P with the pile brush insert. The brush seals against draft, dust, moisture, fumes, light and sound while reducing friction on the door, so it is easier on closers and on the people using the opening at a busy retail or office entrance. Where the priority is acoustic performance rather than easy swing, the ThermoSeal insert in the 149T is sound tested and the better call.
11) Is the Pemko 149 rated for commercial use or just residential doors?
Commercial. Pemko classifies the 149 Series as a commercial threshold, and it is specified into office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, industrial and warehouse buildings, multi-tenant residential and government work. Nothing stops you putting it on a house door, but it is built and rated for commercial door traffic.
