Pemko 2009APK 36IN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much undercut do I need on the door for a Pemko 2009 threshold?
The 2009 saddle threshold works with a door undercut between 9/32 inch minimum and 15/32 inch maximum, with 3/8 inch nominal door clearance. If your door is already hung and swings with less than 9/32 inch under the bottom rail, it will drag on the saddle once this is set. Measure the gap at the swing path before you order, since trimming a fire rated door bottom is not always allowed.
2) Is the Pemko 2009 threshold ADA compliant for an accessible entrance?
Yes. The 2009 runs a 1/2 inch overall height, and the description calls out ADA compliant construction at that profile. Half an inch is the ceiling for a threshold at an accessible doorway, so this one sits right at the allowable limit rather than under it. Set it directly on a finished floor, not on top of a topping slab or a mat, or you lose the compliance.
3) Does the Pemko 2009 threshold actually help with sound, or is it just a weather seal?
Both. The 2009 carries an integrated PemkoPrene gasket and the assembly is tested for air infiltration, sound, and smoke as well as fire. The gasket is what does the acoustic work, sealing the gap under the door bottom that is the single largest leak path in an otherwise sealed opening. It is used on recording studios and acoustic environments for exactly that reason. A bare aluminum saddle with no gasket will not do this.
4) Can I use the Pemko 2009 threshold on a fire rated door assembly?
Yes. The 2009 is fire rated and certified, and fire rated door assemblies are one of its stated applications. It is used in healthcare, educational, and government facilities where the opening has to hold a rating. Remember that the rating belongs to the whole assembly, so the door, frame, and closer all have to be rated with it for the opening to pass.
5) What is a latching panic exit saddle threshold and when do I need one instead of a plain saddle?
A latching panic saddle is shaped to receive the bottom rod or bottom latch of a panic exit device, so the door bolts into the threshold at the floor rather than only at the head. You need one on an exit door running a vertical rod device where the bottom latch has to engage. On a door with a rim device or a mortise lock latching into the jamb, a plain saddle does the job and this profile buys you nothing. The 2009 combines that latching profile with the acoustic gasket, so it suits exit doors that also have to seal for sound or smoke.
6) What lengths and finish does the Pemko 2009 acoustic threshold come in?
Two lengths, 36 inch and 42 inch, both in mill finish aluminum. The 36 inch covers a standard 3-0 single opening and the 42 inch gives you overhang past the jambs, which is what you want on a frame where the threshold runs wall to wall or where the stops need to be caught. Cut to length in the field off the longer piece if your rough opening falls between the two.
7) How does the Pemko 2009 threshold fasten down, and can I hide the screws?
Wood screw is the standard fastening on the 2009, with optional concealed fasteners if you do not want heads showing on the walking surface. Concealed is the usual call on a lobby or a specified job where the saddle is visible; exposed screws are faster to set and easier to re-anchor later if the saddle ever has to come up. Into concrete you will be supplying your own anchors to suit the slab.
8) I am standardizing thresholds across a building. What does the Pemko 2009 give me that a basic saddle does not?
Three things a plain saddle skips: the PemkoPrene gasket for air, sound, and smoke sealing, the fire rating for rated openings, and the latching panic profile for doors with vertical rod exit devices. It is a commercial product on an aluminum base, 5 inches wide by 1/2 inch high, so the sight line matches across every opening you put it on. If most of your doors are non-rated interior with no exit device, you are paying for capability you will not use on those leaves.
9) Is a mill finish aluminum threshold slippery when wet at an exterior door?
Mill finish aluminum is a smooth surface, and Pemko offers the 2009 with an optional non-skid PemKote finish for traction in high traffic areas. On an exterior entrance, a covered walk, or anywhere the saddle sees water tracked in, specify the PemKote. Interior acoustic openings, studio doors and conference rooms, are fine in plain mill.
