Pemko 185AV 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Pemko 185 threshold work under a door with surface vertical rod exit devices?
That's exactly what the 185 saddle is built around. At 1 inch high with 3/4 inch door clearance, the profile leaves room for the bottom rod and latch to drop and engage at the sill instead of fouling on the threshold. Width is 3-1/2 inches. If your pair of doors runs SVR panic hardware and you need the bottom latch to strike, this is the saddle shape that suits it.
2) Is the Pemko 185 threshold fire rated for a labeled opening?
Fire rated UL10C Positive Pressure, and cUL Listed 4L10. It is also BHMA certified. That covers the paperwork side for a labeled fire door assembly in commercial work, which is where most 185 saddles get spec'd.
3) Do I need a 185 threshold or will a plain saddle threshold do under panic hardware?
A plain saddle is fine under a door with no bottom latching. The 185 exists for the case where a surface vertical rod device has to latch into the sill: the 1 inch height and 3/4 inch clearance keep the rod path open. Put an SVR door over a taller or differently profiled saddle and the bottom latch may not seat. If your exit device is a rim device with a mullion, or the SVR is ordered less bottom rod, the sill geometry stops mattering and you can spec on sealing alone.
4) How do I order a Pemko 185 threshold for a 6 foot pair of doors?
Take the 72 inch length, which covers a standard 6-0 pair in one piece, then choose the insert: 185P pile brush, 185V Eco-V, or 185T ThermoSeal. Finish is mill aluminum. Three decisions total, insert and length and nothing else, since there is no handing or finish choice to get wrong on this saddle.
5) What lengths does the Pemko 185 saddle threshold come in?
Stocked at 36, 48 and 72 inches in every insert type, so a single 3-0 leaf takes the 36 inch and a standard 6-0 pair takes the 72 inch. The 185 profile itself is made from 24 inches up to 185 inches, so wider or unusual openings are covered by cutting to the opening rather than piecing two saddles together.
6) Does the Pemko 185 threshold seal against air and sound, or is it just a transition plate?
It does both. The saddle acts as a door stop and the insert seals the door bottom against air infiltration, sound, wind and blown debris. Pemko tests the 185 for sound and air infiltration, and GREENGUARD certified insert options are available, which matters if you're chasing energy or indoor air credits on the project.
