    • ZERO’s patented automatic door bottom technology ensures a tight seal against the floor or saddle. As the door is closed, an adjustable "plunger" is compressed against the door frame, activating a concealed flat spring mechanism. This mechanism drops the seal smoothly from the housing in a scissor-like motion as illustrated below. The door seal compresses tightly even on uneven surfaces and retracts automatically when the door is opened.
    • All ZERO automatic door bottoms function the same way. The concealed spring mechanism causes the insert seal to activate on the hinge side first. It prevents the seal from dragging along the floor or threshold while the door is being closed to avoid door hang-up or closing delay.

Zero International 321AA 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Zero 321AA automatic door bottom designed for?
The Zero 321AA is a light-duty surface-mounted automatic door bottom for interior applications. It automatically seals the gap between the door and floor when closed. Best suited for lightweight hollow metal or wood doors where sound control and draft sealing are needed.
2) What door widths and thicknesses does the 321AA accommodate?
Standard lengths available for most common door widths. Accommodates standard door thicknesses from 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". Verify exact door dimensions against manufacturer specifications before ordering. Can be field-cut to fit specific door widths.
3) How does the automatic operation work?
The 321AA uses a spring-loaded mechanism that responds to door position. When door closes, the drop seal automatically extends downward to contact the floor. When door opens, the seal retracts upward. No electrical power required for operation.
4) What finishes are available for the Zero 321AA?
Typically available in mill finish aluminum and dark bronze anodized finish. Some configurations may offer additional finishes. Check specific product listing for available finish options. Mill finish can be field-painted if needed to match door hardware.
5) Is this suitable for fire-rated doors?
Check manufacturer's fire rating certifications for specific applications. Light-duty automatic door bottoms may have limitations on fire-rated assemblies. Verify code compliance with local AHJ before installation on fire-rated doors.
6) What type of seal material is used?
Features flexible rubber or neoprene drop seal that compresses against floor surface. Seal material provides good sound dampening and draft resistance. Replacement seals typically available separately for maintenance.
7) How is the 321AA mounted to the door?
Surface mounts to bottom rail of door with screws through pre-drilled holes. No mortising required. Mounting template typically provided. Use appropriate fasteners for door material - wood screws for wood doors, machine screws for hollow metal.
8) What tools are needed for installation?
Basic hand tools including drill, appropriate drill bits, screwdriver, measuring tape, and level. Hacksaw or metal cutting blade if field-cutting to length is required. Installation typically takes 15-30 minutes per door.
9) How do you adjust the seal contact pressure?
Most models have adjustable spring tension or cam mechanism. Refer to manufacturer's adjustment instructions. Proper adjustment ensures seal contacts floor without binding door operation. Test door swing after adjustments.
10) What are common alternatives to the Zero 321AA?
Consider heavy-duty automatic door bottoms for high-traffic applications. Surface-mounted door sweeps offer simpler alternative without automatic operation. Check our door hardware selection for Zero brand alternatives and other manufacturers.
11) Will this work on uneven floors?
Light-duty automatic door bottoms work best on relatively flat, smooth floors. Minor irregularities can be accommodated by flexible seal material. Significant floor variations may require floor preparation or heavy-duty models with greater adjustment range.
