Pemko 177AT 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Pemko 177AT threshold work with a surface vertical rod exit device that latches into the floor?
That's exactly what the 177AT saddle threshold is built for. It's a latching panic saddle, so the top surface accepts the bottom rod strike of a surface-applied vertical rod exit device while still acting as a door stop and seal. A plain saddle threshold has no latching provision, so the bottom rod has nowhere to engage and you end up drilling the finished floor instead. If your exit device is a rim device or a less-bottom-rod setup, you don't need the latching feature and a standard saddle is the simpler buy.
2) What door undercut does the Pemko 177AT threshold need at the bottom of the door?
The 177AT is set up for 5/8 inch door clearance, meaning the gap between the bottom of the door and the top of the threshold. Measure your existing undercut before ordering: if the door bottom sits tighter than that, the door binds on the stop, and if it's much looser the ThermoSeal insert won't make contact and you lose the air and sound seal you bought it for. On a replacement job, cutting the door bottom is usually easier than shimming the threshold.
3) What lengths does the Pemko 177AT saddle threshold come in for a single door versus a pair?
Four lengths: 36, 48, 72, and 96 inches, all in mill finish aluminum. A 36 inch covers a standard 3-0 single door leaf; 48 inch gives you cutting room on a single or covers a wider opening. For a pair of doors, 72 inch handles two 3-0 leaves and 96 inch covers pairs in a wider frame or a door with sidelite. Aluminum thresholds are cut to length in the field, so buy the next size up and trim rather than splicing two pieces at the centerline of a pair.
4) Is the Pemko 177AT threshold approved for a fire rated door opening?
Yes. The 177AT is UL 10C positive pressure and UL 4L10 listed for fire rated door assemblies, and it carries ANSI/BHMA A156.21 certification for thresholds. That's the pair of listings an inspector looks for on a rated exterior opening, and it's the reason this threshold can go under a rated door where an unlisted saddle can't.
5) How wide is the Pemko 177AT threshold and will it cover my existing threshold footprint?
Five inch width. That's wide enough to span a typical commercial frame throat plus the door stop line, which is why it works on exterior openings where you're sealing against wind and driven debris. If you're replacing an older 4 inch saddle, the extra inch usually falls to the exterior side and covers the old fastener holes, but check the sill projection at your opening first.
6) Which insert should I order on a Pemko 177 threshold, ThermoSeal, Eco-V, or pile brush?
Three insert options are offered on the 177: ThermoSeal (T), Eco-V (V), and pile brush (P). The T suffix, which is what 177AT ships with, is the one to specify on exterior openings where you're stopping air infiltration and water, and it's the insert behind the ASTM E-283-04 air infiltration and ASTM E 90-2009 sound testing. Pile brush suits interior or high-cycle openings where you want low drag on the door bottom rather than a hard compression seal. The insert is the letter at the end of the model, so the sealing choice is made at order time, not in the field.
7) Does the Pemko 177AT threshold actually cut sound transmission under a door, or just air?
Both, and it's been tested for each: ASTM E-283-04 for air infiltration and ASTM E 90-2009 for sound transmission. The undercut at the bottom of a door is the single biggest sound leak on most openings, so a compression seal at the threshold does more for an office or exam room than adding mass to the door. You'll only get the tested performance if the perimeter is sealed too, since sound follows the largest remaining gap.
8) Is mill finish aluminum durable enough for a high-traffic entry threshold?
The 177AT body is extruded aluminum in mill finish, which is the standard specification for commercial saddle thresholds and the usual choice across an entire building because every opening then matches. Mill is unfinished aluminum, so it will grey and dull with foot traffic rather than chip or peel the way a coated finish does. For a property manager standardizing across a fleet of doors, mill is the finish that stays visually consistent as new units get added over years.
9) Is the Pemko 177AT threshold rated for commercial use or is it a residential product?
Commercial. The 177AT is specified for office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government buildings, and the certifications behind it (BHMA A156.21, UL 10C) are commercial door hardware standards. It's also GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions, which matters on schools and healthcare projects chasing indoor air quality credits.
