Pemko 272A 96IN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Pemko 272A threshold meet ADA requirements for a barrier-free opening?
At 1/4 inch high, the 272A flat saddle sits under the 1/4 inch vertical rise that ADA allows without a bevel, so it works as a barrier-free transition. Pemko describes it as barrier-free and ADA compliant, and the profile is flat across its full 6 inch width rather than ramped.
2) What fasteners come with the Pemko 272A, and what do I need to anchor it into concrete?
Standard fastening is wood screws, SMS #10 x 1 inch. Those suit a wood subfloor or wood sill. Setting the saddle on a concrete slab means drilling the threshold's holes through into the slab and using masonry anchors instead; Pemko offers other fastener options for different substrates.
3) Will a flat saddle threshold like this keep water and weather out?
No. A flat saddle is a transition and wear surface, not a weather seal. There is no stop, no rise, and no gasket groove in the 272A, so at an exterior opening you pair it with a door bottom sweep and perimeter weatherstripping, or choose a thresholds with a raised stop or a bumper seal instead. The aluminum itself is rated for coastal and high-humidity exposure.
4) Can I use the Pemko 272A saddle on a fire rated door opening?
Yes. The 272A is fire rated and has been tested by Underwriters Laboratories, and it carries BHMA certification, which is what an inspector looks for on a rated opening in a school or hospital corridor.
5) Is a 6 inch wide threshold too wide for a standard door opening?
Six inches of width means the saddle runs well past the door face on both sides, which is what you want under a single door in a masonry or wide-jamb opening, and it gives a pair of doors a continuous flat landing at the meeting stiles. If your frame throat is shallow and the saddle would run out past the stop onto finished flooring, a narrower saddle profile is the better call. The 272A is 1/4 inch high by 6 inches wide.
6) Will a bare aluminum threshold get slippery in a lobby or entry vestibule?
Mill aluminum can get slick once it is wet or worn smooth, which matters at an entrance, a locker room, or a kitchen door. Pemko offers PemKote, a non-slip coating, as an option on the 272A for exactly those slip-prone locations. Specify it at the time of order, since it is applied to the extrusion rather than added on site.
7) Is the Pemko 272A heavy enough for a high traffic commercial door, or is it a residential part?
It is built as a commercial part. The extrusion is extra thick aluminum and Pemko lists it for industrial facilities, schools and hospitals along with offices, retail, government buildings and multi-tenant residential. That is the traffic class it is intended for, not a light residential sill.
8) What finishes does the Pemko 272A flat saddle come in?
Pemko produces the 272A in mill finish aluminum, mill finish extruded bronze, dark bronze anodized, gold anodized, and satin nickel anodized. The 1/4 inch x 6 inch x 96 inch piece is stocked in mill finish aluminum, which is the usual choice when the saddle is a wear surface rather than a visible detail.
9) I am standardizing thresholds across a building. Is the 272A the same saddle on every door type?
The 272A works anywhere you need a flat, low-rise transition at the same height, which is what makes it easy to run across a whole floor of interior and corridor openings. Where it will not carry over is exterior doors that need a seal or a stop, and openings where the floor covering changes height enough that a flat 1/4 inch saddle cannot bridge it. Those get a different profile even if the rest of the building is on 272A.
