Pemko 272D 72 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pemko 272 threshold meet ADA requirements for a barrier-free opening?
At 1/4 inch high, the 272 saddle threshold sits under the 1/4 inch vertical rise that can be left unbeveled, so it clears an accessible opening without a ramped edge. The profile is 6 inches wide by 1/4 inch high, and it's ANSI/BHMA A156.21 certified. That combination is what an inspector looks for on a barrier-free entrance.
2) Can I use the Pemko 272 threshold on a fire rated door?
Yes. The 272 is fire rated to UL 10C positive pressure and cUL Listed 4L10, so it can go under a labeled fire door assembly. That is the rating a hospital or school facility group needs on record for their door schedule.
3) What length Pemko 272 threshold do I need for a 36 inch door?
The 272 comes in 36, 42, 48, 60, 72, 84 and 96 inch lengths. A 36 inch single door usually takes the 36 inch piece if it fits between the jambs, or the 42 inch if you're running the threshold full width across the frame and cutting to suit. Aluminum cuts clean with a miter saw and a non-ferrous blade, so ordering long and trimming is normal practice.
4) I need a wider threshold than 6 inches. What else is there?
The Pemko 272 is a 6 inch wide profile. If your frame or sill needs more coverage, the NGP 1013 saddle threshold is the same 1/4 inch height in a 10 inch width and is also BHMA certified, so it keeps the same low barrier-free rise over a wider footprint. Go wider when you're covering a deep sill pan or an old threshold cutout you don't want to patch.
5) Is a 1/4 inch saddle threshold or a 1/2 inch offset threshold better for my exterior door?
Height decides it. The 1/4 inch Pemko 272 keeps the rise low enough for an accessible route without beveling, which is what you want on any public entrance. A taller offset like the NGP 653 at 1/2 inch by 5-1/2 inch gives you more of a step for weather and drainage at a sill, but a 1/2 inch rise on an accessible route has to be beveled to comply. Exterior door on an accessible path: stay with the 1/4 inch.
6) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to a Pemko 272 flat saddle threshold for a barrier-free opening?
The Cal-Royal CR2000 saddle threshold series is the nearest peer in intent: it is a saddle threshold series described as fire rated and ADA compliant, the same two boxes the Pemko 272 checks with its UL10C positive pressure fire rating and cUL 4L10 listing. The Pemko 272 pins its profile at 1/4 inch height by 6 inch width and is carried in mill finish and dark bronze anodized aluminum. If a facility standard names a specific width, confirm the CR2000 profile against the drawing before swapping, since the 272 is the one carrying the 6 inch dimension.
7) The sill is wider than 6 inches - what saddle threshold covers a deeper opening?
Step up to the NGP 1013 saddle threshold, which runs 1/4 inch by 10 inch in mill aluminum with BHMA certification. It holds the same 1/4 inch flat height as the Pemko 272 but spans 10 inches of sill instead of the 272's 6 inches, so a wide masonry or storefront sill gets full coverage without shimming or a second piece. Both are BHMA certified aluminum saddles, so the specification language on the door schedule usually carries over unchanged - only the width figure moves.
8) Is the NGP 653 offset threshold a drop-in substitute for a Pemko 272?
No - the two sit at different heights. The NGP 653 is an offset aluminum alloy door saddle at 1/2 inch by 5-1/2 inch, while the Pemko 272 is a flat saddle at 1/4 inch by 6 inch. That 1/2 inch rise changes the door bottom clearance and the transition underfoot, so an opening detailed around the 272's 1/4 inch flat profile will not accept the 653 without reworking the undercut and the sweep. Both are offset hung aluminum saddles, which is why they read as interchangeable in a catalog line - the height and width are where they part company.
9) Is the Pemko 272 an offset threshold or a flat saddle?
The 272 is an offset hung saddle, meaning it's shaped for a door that closes over one side of the 6 inch width rather than sitting centered on a flat plate. That matters when you're setting it: the offset step goes under the door face, not the middle of the opening.
10) What finishes does the Pemko 272 threshold come in?
Two: mill finish aluminum and dark bronze anodized aluminum, both available across all the stock lengths. Mill is the raw aluminum look most commercial back-of-house and service openings use. Dark bronze anodized is the one to match bronze storefront and dark aluminum entrances so the threshold doesn't read as a bright silver stripe under the door.
11) What are the alternatives to the Pemko 272 for a fire rated opening?
Both Cal-Royal saddle threshold lines cover fire rated openings: the CR2000 Series is fire rated and ADA compliant like the 272, and the CR3700 Series carries a 3-hour positive pressure fire rating for openings where the door schedule calls out a 3-hour assembly. The 272 itself is UL 10C positive pressure and cUL 4L10 listed. Match the threshold's rating to whatever the labeled door assembly requires.
12) How do I fasten a Pemko 272 threshold into a concrete slab?
The 272 ships with SMS #10 x 1 inch wood screws as standard, which suit a wood sill or subfloor. Going into concrete you'll want anchors instead, and Pemko lists other fastener options for different substrates. Drill through the threshold on the layout you want before you set it, so the anchor pattern lines up with the slab and not with a joint.
13) For a fire-rated opening, how does the Pemko 272 compare with the Cal-Royal CR3700?
Both are saddle thresholds built for rated openings, and they state their ratings differently. The Cal-Royal CR3700 series carries a 3-hour positive pressure fire rating. The Pemko 272 is BHMA certified with a UL10C positive pressure fire rating and a cUL 4L10 listing, and it is specified as a commercial product. When an inspector or a spec section calls out a specific hourly rating on the threshold, the CR3700 is the one stating hours; where the submittal asks for UL10C positive pressure and cUL listing language, the 272 answers directly.
14) Is the Pemko 272 threshold heavy enough for a high traffic commercial entrance?
It's an aluminum threshold rated commercial, not residential, and the 6 inch by 1/4 inch section is a solid extrusion rather than a thin cover plate. For lobby, school corridor and retail entrance traffic that's the right class of part. Anchoring is what usually fails first on a threshold, not the extrusion, so fasten it at the ends and at regular intervals through the full length.
15) Can I standardize the Pemko 272 across every exterior door in my building?
That's what it's built for. One profile, 1/4 inch by 6 inches, in two finishes and seven stock lengths from 36 to 96 inches covers singles and pairs across a facility, and the BHMA certification plus UL 10C positive pressure rating means the same part works under both rated and non-rated openings. For a property manager or MRO buyer, that's one line item on the standards sheet instead of four.
