Pemko 2548D 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How wide is the Pemko 2548 threshold and how high does it sit above the floor?
The 2548 measures 8 inches wide and 1/2 inch high. The 8 inch width gives you enough plate to cover the sill joint and land under both the door and the frame on a standard commercial opening, and the 1/2 inch height stays at or under the ADA maximum of 1/2 inch for a change in level at a doorway, so it does not need a separate bevel calculation to pass.
2) What lengths does the Pemko 2548 saddle threshold come in, and what do I do for a wider opening?
Three cut lengths: 36, 48 and 72 inches. A 36 inch piece covers a single 3-0 door, 48 inches gives you slack to run past the frame on a 3-6 or an oversized single, and the 72 inch piece is the one to order for a pair of doors, since a 6-0 pair needs a single continuous run under both leaves. Thresholds are routinely cut down on site, so order up to the next length rather than down.
3) Will a wheelchair roll over the Pemko 2548 threshold without a ramp?
At 1/2 inch high, the 2548 sits right at the barrier free limit for a doorway change in level, which is why it goes into schools, healthcare and government buildings without extra ramping. It is a saddle profile, so it rises from both sides rather than presenting a vertical face.
4) Which BHMA certified aluminum saddle threshold gives a lower rise than the Pemko 2548?
The NGP 1013 is a 1/4 inch by 10 inch mill aluminum saddle threshold with BHMA certification - half the rise of the 1/2 inch high Pemko 2548, over a wider 10 inch bearing surface. Both are BHMA certified aluminum saddles. Where they part ways is fire: the 2548 carries a UL10C positive pressure rating and cUL Listed 4L10, so on a fire-rated door assembly the 2548 is the one that answers the code question. The 1013 also comes in mill aluminum only, where the 2548 is offered in mill finish and dark bronze anodized.
5) What finishes is the Pemko 2548 threshold available in?
Mill finish aluminum and dark bronze anodized aluminum, and both are offered in all three lengths (36, 48 and 72 inches). Mill is the raw silver aluminum that disappears against most commercial sills; dark bronze anodized is the one to pick when you are matching bronze door hardware or dark storefront framing across a building.
6) Should I use a saddle threshold or an offset threshold at my door?
A saddle like the Pemko 2548 is symmetrical and sits on a flat sill with the door closing over the center, which is the normal interior or flush sill condition. An offset threshold is for when the finished floor levels differ side to side or you are transitioning to an exterior sill, and it carries the door on one side of a step. If your floor changes height at the opening, look at an offset unit such as the NGP 653 offset threshold at 1/2 inch by 5-1/2 inch instead.
7) I need to standardize saddle thresholds across a facility with both rated and non-rated openings - what pairs with the Pemko 2548?
The Cal-Royal CR2000 series is a saddle threshold line with a fire rated and ADA compliant design, and the CR3700 series carries a 3-hour positive pressure rating, so the Cal-Royal saddle lines cover the same two conditions. The Pemko 2548 handles both on its own: it is BHMA certified, UL10C positive pressure rated, cUL Listed 4L10, and barrier-free for ADA traffic, so one part number can run the rated corridor doors and the non-rated interior openings alike. Standardizing on the 2548 also holds one finish across the facility - mill aluminum or dark bronze anodized - in 36, 48, and 72 inch lengths.
8) Is the Pemko 2548 threshold heavy duty enough for a high traffic commercial entrance?
It is built for commercial use, not residential. The extruded aluminum substrate resists corrosion and holds its dimension under foot and cart traffic, and BHMA certification means the profile was tested to the commercial door hardware performance standards rather than just published to a catalog sheet.
9) Can I standardize the Pemko 2548 across every door in my building?
That is the usual reason people buy it. One model number, 2548, in two finishes and three lengths covers single doors and pairs, rated and non rated openings alike, since the UL10C positive pressure and cUL 4L10 rating is on the profile itself. Spec one finish across the property and your maintenance staff carries one replacement part instead of four.
10) What is the difference between the Cal-Royal CR2000 and CR3700 saddle thresholds when cross-referencing a Pemko 2548?
Both are Cal-Royal saddle threshold series. The CR2000 series is described as fire rated with an ADA compliant design; the CR3700 series is specified with a 3-hour positive pressure fire rating. If the drawing calls out a positive pressure rating, the CR3700 is the series that states one, which is the same condition the Pemko 2548 answers with its UL10C positive pressure rating and cUL Listed 4L10 compliance. The 2548 adds BHMA certification and a defined 8 inch by 1/2 inch aluminum profile for matching the sill.
