Pemko 271A-84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pemko 271A threshold work for an ADA barrier-free opening?
At 1/4 inch high, the 271A flat saddle sits well under the 1/2 inch maximum change in level that ADA allows at a doorway, so no bevel or ramping is needed. It's a flat saddle, meaning a single flat plane 5 inches wide across the opening rather than a raised stop or thermal break profile.
2) Is a 5 inch wide saddle threshold wide enough to cover my old threshold's footprint?
The 271A is 5 inches across, which spans the full jamb-to-jamb depth of a standard 4-9/16 inch or narrower wood frame and covers the screw holes and floor scarring left by most saddle thresholds coming out. If you are working a masonry opening or a frame deeper than 5 inches, the saddle will not reach both edges and you want a wider profile instead.
3) What lengths does the Pemko 271A saddle threshold come in?
Three stock lengths of the 271A: 48 inch, 84 inch, and 96 inch, all in mill finish aluminum. The 48 inch covers a standard 3-0 or 4-0 single opening with room to trim, 84 and 96 inch handle pairs and wide storefront-style openings. Aluminum cuts clean with a carbide blade, so ordering long and cutting to the frame opening is normal practice.
4) Should I use a flat saddle threshold or one with a raised stop and weatherstrip?
A flat saddle like the 271A is the right call on interior transitions, cross-corridor doors, and any opening where wheeled traffic or accessibility governs, because there is nothing standing proud of the floor. If you are sealing an exterior door against wind-driven rain, a flat saddle gives you no seal by itself, you want a thermal break or offset profile with a stop, or you pair the flat saddle with a door bottom sweep that does the sealing.
5) Will a 1/4 inch threshold cause door clearance problems on an existing door?
Only 1/4 inch of stack is added under the door with the 271A, so a door already hung with a normal undercut clears it. If you are replacing a taller saddle you will gain clearance, not lose it, which can leave a gap at the bottom, plan on a door sweep or door bottom to close that up if the opening needs it.
6) Is the Pemko 271A threshold rated for commercial traffic like schools and hospitals?
Yes, it is a commercial-classified item, extruded aluminum, and 1/4 inch of material across the whole 5 inch width means there is no thin web to dish out under cart and gurney traffic. Aluminum also holds up in coastal and high-humidity air where a steel or bronze saddle would suffer.
7) Can the Pemko 271A be made non-slip for wet areas?
PemKote non-slip coating is offered on the 271A for wet-floor and high-traffic locations. Mill finish aluminum on its own is a smooth extruded surface, so in entry vestibules, kitchens, or locker areas the coated version is worth specifying at order time.
