Pemko 2748A 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Pemko 2748 threshold low enough to meet ADA for a barrier-free opening?
Height is 1/4 inch, a flat saddle profile with no ramp needed. ADA permits a threshold up to 1/2 inch at a doorway, so a 1/4 inch rise clears it outright and rolls under a wheelchair without a bevel. That is the main reason this profile gets specified on public-access doors instead of a taller offset threshold.
2) What lengths does the Pemko 2748 threshold come in, and can I use one piece across a pair of doors?
Five lengths: 36, 48, 72, 76 and 92 inches, each available in mill finish aluminum or dark bronze anodized. A single 36 inch piece covers a standard 3-0 single door. For a pair of 3-0 doors you want the 72 or 76 inch piece so the threshold runs unbroken under both leaves rather than butting a seam at the meeting stile. The 92 inch length covers wider openings or double doors with sidelites in the same run. Longer stock can be cut down on site.
3) The Pemko 2748 sits flat at 1/4 inch. What do I use when the two floors are at different heights?
The NGP 653 is the offset threshold for that condition. It is an aluminum alloy door saddle at 1/2 inch by 5-1/2 inch, and the offset profile is built to bridge two floor surfaces sitting at different elevations, which is a different job than the flat saddle profile of the Pemko 2748. The 2748 is designed for a smooth transition between two floor surfaces at a 1/4 inch height clearance, so it is the right part where the floors are level and you want the lowest possible rise. Where a slab and a finished floor do not meet flush, the 653 profile is what steps between them.
4) Is the Cal-Royal CR2000 an equivalent to the Pemko 2748 on a fire door?
The Cal-Royal CR2000 is the nearest cross-brand equivalent in intent. It is a saddle threshold series carrying both a fire rating and an ADA compliant design, which is the same pair of requirements the Pemko 2748 answers with its UL10C positive pressure fire rating, cUL Listed 4L10 listing and ADA-compliant barrier-free construction. The practical difference is dimensional: the 2748 is a defined 8 inch wide by 1/4 inch high profile, while the CR2000 is a series covering a range of profiles, so you match the specific CR2000 profile to the 8 inch by 1/4 inch section before treating it as a drop-in on the same opening.
5) The NGP 653 is a narrower saddle. Is it a cheaper stand-in for the Pemko 2748 on an accessible opening?
It is a different profile, not a narrower version of the same one. The NGP 653 is an offset threshold at 1/2 inch by 5-1/2 inch, so it rises to 1/2 inch and steps rather than laying flat. The Pemko 2748 is a flat saddle at 1/4 inch, which is the barrier-free design that lets a wheelchair roll the transition and is why it is described as ADA-compliant. If the opening has to be accessible and the floors are level, substituting the 653 changes both the profile and the height you are asking someone to cross.
6) Should I use a flat saddle threshold or an offset threshold at my door?
A flat saddle like the 2748 sits at a single 1/4 inch height across its full 8 inch width, so it is what you want when the finished floor is level on both sides and you need a barrier-free crossing. An offset threshold steps between two different floor heights instead, which is the fix when a slab, tile, or carpet on one side sits higher than the other. NGP's 653 offset threshold is the alternative there, at 1/2 inch by 5-1/2 inches in aluminum alloy. Pick the saddle for a flush transition, the offset for a step.
7) What is the Pemko 2748 threshold made of, and will it hold up in a high-traffic entrance?
Extruded aluminum. It takes foot traffic and cart traffic without rusting, which is why it goes into school corridors, hospital doors, retail entries and warehouse openings. The mill finish is bare aluminum; the dark bronze is anodized, so the color is in the surface of the metal rather than a coating that scuffs off.
8) I am standardizing thresholds across a building. Can I use the Pemko 2748 on every exterior and interior door?
On interior openings and protected exterior doors it works fleet-wide: one 8 inch by 1/4 inch profile, two finishes, five lengths, and the same UL10C positive pressure fire rating on every piece, so your fire-rated openings and your non-rated ones take the identical part. What a flat saddle does not do is stop water, since there is no raised lip or drain channel. For weather-exposed exterior doors you want a thresholds with a rain drip or vinyl seal instead.
9) What is a comparable fire-rated saddle threshold to the Pemko 2748 from another brand?
Cal-Royal makes two close cousins. The CR2000 Series saddle threshold is fire rated and ADA compliant, the same job the 2748 does. The CR3700 Series saddle threshold carries a 3-hour positive pressure fire rating if your opening is specified at that duration. From NGP, the 1013 saddle threshold is BHMA certified in mill aluminum at 1/4 inch by 10 inches, so it is the wider-plate equivalent.
10) What is the difference between the Cal-Royal CR2000 and CR3700 when I am cross-referencing a Pemko 2748?
Both are Cal-Royal saddle threshold series, so both sit in the same family as the Pemko 2748. The CR2000 series is described by its fire rating and ADA compliant design, while the CR3700 series is described by a 3-Hr positive pressure fire rating. For a barrier-free opening where wheelchair transition governs, the CR2000 states the ADA compliance directly, as the 2748 does. Where the controlling requirement on the door schedule is the hourly positive pressure figure, the CR3700 states that. The 2748 covers both grounds in one part with UL10C positive pressure certification and ADA-compliant construction at a 1/4 inch rise.
11) Can the Pemko 2748 threshold be cut to length on the job?
Yes. Length is custom cut to size, so buy the next length up from your opening and trim the extruded aluminum on site with a miter saw and a non-ferrous blade. Width stays 8 inches and height stays 1/4 inch no matter what you cut it to, so the ADA-height transition and the fire rating are unaffected by shortening it.
12) Does the Pemko 2748 threshold come with anchors or screws?
Fasteners are ordered separately. The 2748 ships as the extruded aluminum saddle in the length and finish you pick, and you anchor it to the substrate you have, concrete screws or expansion anchors into slab, machine screws into a steel sill pan. Count on drilling the 8 inch plate on site to suit the anchor pattern your floor takes.
