Pemko 171A 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Pemko 171 series commercial flat saddle threshold used for?
The Pemko 171 series provides a smooth transition between floor surfaces at door openings. It eliminates trip hazards and creates a professional appearance in commercial applications. The flat saddle design works well with standard door frames.
2) What door types are compatible with this threshold?
This threshold works with most standard commercial doors including hollow metal, wood, and aluminum frame systems. The 5-inch width accommodates typical door frame configurations. Verify your specific door frame dimensions before ordering.
3) How do I determine the correct length needed?
Measure the full width of your door opening from jamb to jamb. Add 1/8 inch for proper fit. The threshold should span the entire opening width. Standard lengths are available or custom lengths can be specified.
4) What finishes are available for the 171 series?
Pemko offers multiple finish options including mill aluminum, dark bronze anodized, and clear anodized. Mill aluminum provides a natural finish. Anodized finishes offer enhanced durability and color consistency for architectural applications.
5) Does this threshold meet accessibility requirements?
The 1/2 inch height meets ADA guidelines for maximum threshold height at doorways. The beveled edges provide smooth wheelchair and cart transition. Verify local accessibility codes as requirements may vary by jurisdiction.
6) What accessories work with the 171 series threshold?
Compatible accessories include weatherstripping systems, door sweeps, and sealing gaskets. Pemko door hardware offers coordinating products for complete door bottom sealing systems.
7) How is this threshold typically installed?
Installation uses standard fasteners through pre-punched holes into the floor substrate. Concrete anchors or wood screws are typical depending on floor type. Follow manufacturer templates for proper hole spacing and alignment.
8) Can this threshold be cut to custom lengths?
Yes, the aluminum construction allows field cutting with standard metal cutting tools. Use a fine-tooth saw blade for clean cuts. Deburr cut edges and touch up finish as needed. Custom factory lengths are also available.
9) How does this compare to other Pemko threshold models?
The 171 series offers a flat profile versus curved or tapered designs in other series. This provides maximum durability for heavy traffic areas. Other Pemko thresholds may offer different profiles or integrated weatherstripping options.
10) What maintenance does this threshold require?
Regular cleaning with mild soap and water maintains appearance. Check fastener tightness periodically in high-traffic areas. Anodized finishes resist corrosion and require minimal maintenance. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
11) What floor conditions work best with this threshold?
Level, stable substrates provide optimal performance. Concrete, wood subfloor, and terrazzo work well. Uneven surfaces may require shimming for proper threshold alignment. The flat design accommodates most standard flooring materials.
