Pemko 57AV 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pemko 57AV door sweep close a 7/8 inch gap under my door?
Yes, that is the top of its range. The 57AV uses an Eco-V triple fin gasket that seals gaps up to 7/8 inch between the door bottom and the threshold or floor. The three fins conform to floor that isn't flat, so it holds a seal across a slab that dips or a worn threshold where a single-fin sweep only touches at the high spots. Set it with about 1/16 inch of gasket compression when you mount it.
2) Does the Pemko 57AV mount on the face of the door or under it?
It's a surface-applied sweep, so it screws to the face of the door near the bottom rail, not to the underside. The retainer is 1 3/4 inch overall height by 1/4 inch width, so you need that much clear face below your bottom rail hardware. Slotted mounting holes let you slide it up or down after the screws are started, which is how you dial in the fin compression on a floor that isn't level end to end.
3) What length Pemko 57AV do I order for a 36 inch door?
The 36 inch 57AV is the match for a standard 3-0 door leaf. A 48 inch is also stocked in mill finish aluminum, which covers a 4-0 leaf or gives you material to cut down. Both stocked lengths are mill finish aluminum. The 57 series runs from 24 inch minimum to 185 inch maximum overall, so wide openings and pairs are covered within the series.
4) What else could I use instead of the Pemko 57AV door sweep?
The nearest equivalents are NGP's aluminum-housed sweeps. The NGP 101V is a vinyl sweep in an aluminum alloy housing, the closest straight substitute in form. The 197NA swaps to a neoprene insert in an anodized aluminum housing, and the 200SA uses silicone in an anodized housing with a rated temperature range of -100 F to 500 F, which is the one to look at for a boiler room, kitchen, or freezer door. What none of those match is the 57AV's 7/8 inch gap capacity from the triple fin, so if your undercut is large, stay with the 57AV.
5) What is the difference between the Pemko 57AV door bottom sweep and the NGP 101V vinyl sweep?
Both are surface-applied door bottom sweeps that mount to the face of the door with an aluminum housing carrying a flexible seal. The Pemko 57AV uses an Eco-V triple fin gasket on a mill aluminum base, seals gaps up to 7/8 inch between the door and the threshold or floor, and measures 1 3/4 inches in overall height by 1/4 inch wide, with slotted holes for field adjustment and a recommended gasket compression of 1/16 inch. It carries ANSI/BHMA A156.21, UL10C fire rating, and ASTM E90 sound testing. The NGP 101V is a vinyl door sweep in an aluminum alloy housing. The practical difference for a specifier is the seal material and the fin count: a single vinyl blade rides a flat threshold well, while the 57AV triple fin is built to conform to an uneven or worn floor surface, which is why it is commonly used on outswing doors.
6) For a boiler room or a walk-in freezer door, is the Pemko 57AV the right sweep or should I use something else?
Take the temperature into account before you pick. The Pemko 57AV uses a bio-based Eco-V triple fin gasket on a mill aluminum base and is GREENGUARD Gold Certified with no phthalates or heavy metals, which suits it to occupied commercial interiors and exterior entrances. For an opening at temperature extremes, the NGP 200SA is a silicone door sweep in an anodized aluminum housing rated for a temperature range of -100 F to 500 F. Silicone stays flexible where a fin gasket is working outside its intended service conditions, so on a mechanical room, oven room, or cold storage door the 200SA is the seal material to specify and the 57AV is better placed on the general-traffic doors elsewhere in the building.
7) Should the 57AV sweep go on the inside or outside face of the door?
On an outswing door, mount it on the exterior face so the sweep rides over the threshold and sheds water away. Pemko lists the 57AV for outswing applications. On an inswing door a surface sweep goes on the interior face instead, where it drags across the finish floor rather than the threshold, and that's where the triple fin earns its keep on carpet transitions and uneven slabs.
8) Can I cut a Pemko 57AV door sweep down to fit a narrower door?
Yes. The retainer is mill aluminum extrusion, so you can cut it to length with a hacksaw or a miter saw and a non-ferrous blade, then trim the Eco-V gasket to match. Buying the 48 inch and cutting is the usual move when your leaf falls between the two stocked lengths. Cut from one end and keep at least two mounting slots in the piece you use.
9) Is the Pemko 57AV sweep rated for LEED or indoor air quality requirements?
The 57AV is GREENGUARD Gold Certified for indoor air quality. The Eco-V gasket is a bio-based material with no phthalates, heavy metals, or zinc-based stabilizers, which is what gets it through a healthcare or school specification where the interior products list is restricted. That's the practical difference from a standard PVC vinyl sweep.
10) Will a mill finish aluminum door sweep match my existing anodized hardware?
No, not exactly. Mill finish is bare, unfinished aluminum with a slightly duller, more raw look than clear anodized, and it will weather differently outdoors. The 57AV is stocked in mill finish aluminum only, in 36 and 48 inch. If you need a visual match to anodized trim on a storefront or lobby door, NGP's 197NA and 200SA sweeps use anodized aluminum housings.
11) We standardize on neoprene sweeps across the property. How does the Pemko 57AV compare to a neoprene sweep like the NGP 197NA?
The NGP 197NA is a neoprene door sweep in an anodized aluminum housing, and the Cal-Royal BTN-112 is a similar arrangement with an extruded aluminum retainer and a neoprene insert. Both put a solid neoprene blade against the floor. The Pemko 57AV differs in the seal itself: an Eco-V triple fin gasket, a bio-based material Pemko states surpasses traditional vinyl in durability with high compression and tensile strength, seals gaps up to 7/8 inch, and is GREENGUARD Gold Certified with no phthalates, heavy metals, or zinc-based stabilizers. Housing finish is the other thing to check against your standard: the 57AV is supplied in mill finish aluminum, where the 197NA housing is anodized. If a facility is matching sweeps door to door by appearance, that finish difference will be visible.
12) Which door sweep should I use to replace a worn vinyl sweep on a commercial exterior door?
The Pemko 57AV is a direct surface-applied replacement for a worn vinyl sweep. It mounts to the face of the door through slotted holes, so the height can be dialed in against the existing floor rather than relying on the old fastener line, and Pemko builds it on a mill aluminum base 1 3/4 inches in overall height by 1/4 inch wide in lengths from 24 inches to 185 inches. The Eco-V gasket is a bio-based material Pemko states exceeds traditional vinyl in quality and durability. If you want to stay with a like-for-like vinyl seal, the NGP 101V is a vinyl door sweep in an aluminum alloy housing. Measure the door width and the worst-case gap first: the 57AV seals up to 7/8 inch, and gap is what usually decides whether a bottom sweep will finish the job or whether the opening needs a threshold change as well.
13) Is the Pemko 57AV heavy enough for a high-traffic commercial entrance?
It's built for commercial duty, not residential. Mill aluminum retainer, and the Eco-V gasket is rated by Pemko above standard vinyl on compression and tensile strength, which is what fails first on a door cycling hundreds of times a day. Pemko lists it for office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and municipal buildings. For a fleet of doors, the 36 and 48 inch mill aluminum sizes let a property manager standardize on one part across most leaf widths.
14) Can I replace just the gasket on a Pemko 57 series sweep, or do I have to buy the whole thing?
The 57AV is sold as the complete assembly, aluminum retainer plus Eco-V triple fin insert. The insert is a separate component that slides into the extruded retainer, so if the aluminum is still straight and the fins are the only thing torn up, look for the 57 series Eco-V replacement insert in your length rather than pulling the whole sweep off the door. If the retainer is bent or the slotted holes are wallowed out, replace the assembly.
