Pemko 411 Full Mortise Automatic Door Bottom with Drop-Bar Seal
Automatic Sealing for Commercial Door Assemblies
The Pemko 411 is a full mortise automatic door bottom that deploys a drop-bar seal the moment the door closes, then retracts automatically when the door opens — eliminating floor drag and delivering consistent, hands-free sealing performance. Mortised flush into the door bottom, the 411 disappears into the door face for a clean architectural finish. The extruded aluminum housing (W: 9/16", H: 1-3/8") is available in lengths from 28" to 72" and accepts four interchangeable insert types to match the sealing requirement of the opening.
Features & Benefits
- Automatic Drop-Bar Mechanism: Seal deploys on door close and retracts on open — no floor drag, no manual adjustment, consistent performance across high-traffic openings.
- Full Mortise Installation: Housing routes into a routed pocket in the door bottom for a flush, low-profile appearance on wood or hollow metal doors.
- Four Insert Options: Choose EPDM Sponge Neoprene (ARL), Nylon Brush (ANBL), PemkoPrene (APKL), or Sponge Silicone (ASL) to match the sealing demand — draft, dust, moisture, insects, fumes, light, or sound.
- Aluminum Construction: Extruded aluminum housing resists corrosion and holds dimensional stability in demanding commercial environments.
- Multiple Lengths: Available in 28", 30", 32", 36", 42", 48", and 72" to fit standard and oversized commercial door widths.
- Comprehensive Certifications: UL10C positive pressure fire rated, UL1784 smoke tested, BHMA certified, air infiltration tested, ASTM E90 sound tested, cUL Listed 4L10, and GREENGUARD Gold Certified.
- 5-Year Warranty: Pemko backs the 411 with a 5-year warranty for confidence in long-term commercial installations.

Why Pemko 411?
When a door opening must meet fire, smoke, sound, and energy code simultaneously, the 411's multi-certification profile eliminates the need to source separate products for each requirement. The automatic mechanism removes the performance variability of manual sweeps, and the full mortise profile keeps the door face clean — a specification-grade solution for architects, contractors, and facility managers who need the opening to perform reliably from day one.
