Pemko SA232 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to order anything else with the Pemko SA2 automatic door bottom?
End plates are not included with the SA2, so budget for those separately if your installation calls for them. Fasteners aside, the unit itself is the aluminum housing with the Eco-V insert already in it.
2) I am replacing an old automatic door bottom on a 32 inch door, will the Pemko SA2 drop into the same spot?
The SA2 is a surface applied automatic door bottom, so it mounts to the face of the door bottom rail rather than into a mortised pocket. If what you are pulling off was a mortised unit routed into the door edge, the SA2 is not a straight swap and you would be covering an open mortise. For a surface replacement on a 32 inch door, the 2 inch trim allowance gives you room to match the existing cut length.
3) Automatic door bottom or a surface door sweep, which one should I use?
A sweep drags on the floor the whole time the door swings. An automatic door bottom like the Pemko SA2 lifts clear as the door opens and drops 1/2 inch onto the threshold when it closes, so it seals against air and smoke without scraping carpet or a finished floor. Pick the automatic bottom where you have flooring you do not want scuffed, or where the opening has to hold a UL1784 smoke seal. Pick a sweep where the gap is bigger than 1/2 inch or the budget is tight.
4) Is the Pemko SA2 the right automatic door bottom for apartment entry doors across a building?
It is specified for residential use, which is where multi-family unit entries fall, and 32 inch and 36 inch doors are the usual sizes in that stock. Because the SA2 trims 2 inches, one length can cover a couple of door widths across a floor, which keeps a fleet of units on the same part. It carries the UL10C and UL1784 listings that unit entry doors in corridors normally have to meet.
5) What is the Eco-V insert on the Pemko SA2 and does it matter which insert I get?
The Eco-V is the flexible sealing element carried in the aluminum housing, and it is the part that actually contacts the floor when the door bottom drops. It is what the UL1784 smoke test and the air infiltration testing were run on for the SA2, so if you are replacing the insert later, matching Eco-V keeps the assembly the same as the listed one.
