Pemko 227A-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pemko 227A threshold work on a fire-rated door opening?
Yes. The 227A saddle threshold is fire rated to UL10C positive pressure and cUL Listed 4L10, and it carries BHMA certification. That combination is what a fire door assembly inspection looks for on the sill, so it can go under a rated opening in a commercial building.
2) Is the Pemko 227 threshold low enough to meet ADA?
The 227A stands 1/2 inch high, which is the maximum change in level ADA allows at a doorway, so it clears as a barrier-free sill. Anything taller than 1/2 inch has to be ramped or beveled to comply.
3) How wide is the Pemko 227A and will 4 inches cover my door sill?
It measures 4 inches wide by 1/2 inch high. Four inches is enough to sit under a 1-3/4 inch commercial door and still land on both sides of the door face, which is what you need if you are running a door bottom sweep or an automatic door bottom down onto it. If your existing sill is wider than 4 inches or you need to bridge a bigger gap between two floor surfaces, you want a wider or offset profile instead.
4) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Pemko 227A saddle threshold for a fire-rated opening?
The Cal-Royal CR2000 saddle threshold is the nearest peer in role: it is a saddle threshold series with a fire rated and ADA compliant design, the same two conditions the Pemko 227A is built around with its UL10C positive pressure fire rating, cUL 4L10 listing, and barrier-free ADA profile. The NGP 1013 is also a saddle threshold and is BHMA certified like the 227A. Where the 227A is specific is its profile: 4 inches wide by 1/2 inch high in aluminum, so an equivalent has to match that width and rise at the opening as well as the rating.
5) The fire door schedule calls for a 3-hour positive pressure threshold. Does the Pemko 227A cover that, or is there a better fit?
The Pemko 227A carries a UL10C positive pressure fire rating and a cUL 4L10 listing, stated without an hourly figure. When the spec on the drawing is written as a 3-hour positive pressure rating and the submittal has to show that hourly number on its face, the Cal-Royal CR3700 saddle threshold series is the peer that states a 3-hour positive pressure fire rating directly. Both are saddle thresholds, so the opening detail does not change; what changes is how the rating reads on the submittal.
6) My sill is out of plane with the finish floor. Is a saddle threshold like the Pemko 227A the right shape, or do I need something else?
A saddle threshold such as the Pemko 227A sits as a single symmetrical rise across the opening, 4 inches wide and 1/2 inch high in aluminum, and it assumes the floor comes up to roughly the same level on both sides. Where the interior floor and the exterior sill sit at different heights, an offset threshold is the profile that bridges the step: the NGP 653 offset threshold is 1/2 inch by 5-1/2 inches in aluminum alloy, so it carries the same 1/2 inch rise as the 227A but on a wider, stepped section rather than a saddle.
7) Saddle threshold or offset threshold, which one do I need?
A saddle like the Pemko 227A is symmetrical and flat, so it works where the finished floor is at the same level on both sides of the opening. If the floor drops off on the exterior side, or you are meeting a different floor height, an offset profile such as the NGP 653 offset threshold is the one that steps between the two levels. Pick the saddle for interior and level openings, the offset where the floor changes.
8) Is the Pemko 227A aluminum threshold OK for exterior doors?
The 227A is aluminum and rated commercial, and aluminum holds up outdoors, but a flat saddle has no thermal break and no drainage lip. On an exterior opening you generally want a profile that sheds water away from the building. Use the 227A where you are sealing an interior or protected opening, or pairing it with a door bottom on a rated door.
9) What else do I need to order with a Pemko 227 threshold to seal the opening?
The threshold alone only handles the floor line. To actually close the gap you add a door bottom sweep or an automatic door bottom that seats onto the 1/2 inch high saddle, plus perimeter gasketing on the frame. On a fire rated opening every one of those pieces has to be rated as well, and fasteners are not included with the threshold, so plan on anchors suited to your floor, concrete sleeve anchors or machine screws into a wood or steel sub-sill.
10) I need to standardize thresholds across a building, what are the alternatives to the Pemko 227A?
For fire rated saddle thresholds, the Cal-Royal CR2000 series and the CR3700 series are both saddle profiles with fire ratings, the CR3700 carrying a 3-hour positive pressure rating. If you need a much wider footprint, the NGP 1013 is a mill aluminum saddle at 1/4 inch by 10 inches, which is a far shallower and much broader profile than the 227A's 4 inch by 1/2 inch. Match the width to the sill condition you have, then keep one profile through the facility so the door bottoms are consistent too.
11) Can I cut a Pemko 227A threshold down to fit my opening?
Yes, aluminum saddle thresholds are routinely cut to length on site with a miter saw and a non-ferrous blade. Order the next length up from your frame throat opening and trim, that is why the 227A comes in 36, 38, 44, 72 and 74 inch pieces. Cutting does not affect the UL10C rating, but drilling and anchoring it correctly does, so keep the anchor spacing consistent along the whole run.
