Zero International 328BK-S-36X96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What lengths do you get with the Zero International head and jamb gasketing set?
The set covers one 36 inch head piece and two-sided jamb coverage at 96 inches, which suits a standard 3-0 x 8-0 opening. If your door is a 3-0 x 7-0, the 96 inch jamb legs get cut down on site; the aluminum retainer trims with a chop saw and the insert is cut to match.
2) Will Zero International head and jamb gasketing mount on a hollow metal frame as well as a wood frame?
Yes. It is a surface mount perimeter seal that fastens to the face of the frame stop, and it is intended for wood, metal, or composite doors. Mounting screws and instructions come with it, and the retainer is pre-drilled and slotted so you can shift the seal in or out to dial in compression against the door face.
3) Can this gasketing be used on a fire rated door opening?
The Zero International head and jamb gasketing is UL Listed, ANSI/BHMA certified, and compliant with NFPA 80 and ASTM E283, so it is suited to smoke and fire rated door assemblies as well as air infiltration control. Confirm the specific listing matches the assembly's label on the frame before install, since rated openings only accept hardware listed for that assembly.
4) Does this seal the bottom of the door too, or do I need something else?
Head and jamb only. This set seals the top of the frame and both jamb legs. The door bottom needs a separate piece, either a door sweep or a door shoe running on a threshold. Plan on ordering that separately if you are chasing a full perimeter seal for smoke or sound.
5) What is the closest equivalent to Zero International head and jamb gasketing from another manufacturer?
The Zero International head and jamb gasketing is an extruded aluminum perimeter seal with an elastomeric insert, surface mounted to the head and jamb of the frame. The closest equivalents built the same way are the Cal-Royal PG-601 aluminum channel perimeter gasketing with vinyl insert and the NGP 155V vinyl perimeter seal with a mill aluminum frame. All three are aluminum-carrier perimeter seals that screw to the stop, so the substitution comes down to insert material and finish rather than a different mounting approach.
6) Which perimeter seal should I use on a cold-weather exterior door instead of standard gasketing?
The Zero International head and jamb gasketing uses an elastomeric insert - silicone, neoprene, or PVC depending on configuration - in an extruded aluminum carrier. If you need a published temperature range for a freezer room or a harsh exterior opening, the NGP 108NA neoprene sponge seal in an anodized aluminum frame is rated from -20 F to 200 F. Both mount to the head and jamb the same way, so it is a straight carrier-for-carrier swap where the temperature spec has to be documented.
7) Is a brush seal a substitute for aluminum and elastomeric head and jamb gasketing?
Not for the same job. The Zero International head and jamb gasketing carries a resilient insert that compresses against the door to block air, smoke, light, and sound, and it is documented for smoke-rated assembly use. The NGP 602A is a nylon brush seal in an anodized aluminum housing - the brush filaments sweep the door face rather than forming a compressed gasket line, which suits dust control and light air movement but is a different sealing mechanism. Use the brush where you want low closing resistance, and the compression gasket where the assembly has to seal against smoke or sound.
8) For a fire-rated smoke assembly, which perimeter seal do I specify?
The Zero International head and jamb gasketing is documented as UL Listed, ANSI/BHMA certified, and compliant with NFPA 80 and ASTM E283, which is what an inspector looks for on a smoke-rated or air-infiltration-tested assembly. Among the aluminum-carrier alternatives, the Cal-Royal PG-601 perimeter gasketing and the NGP 155V vinyl perimeter seal are the same style of frame-applied seal, and the NGP 108NA neoprene sponge seal covers a -20 F to 200 F range. Where the submittal has to show NFPA 80 and ASTM E283 compliance, the Zero profile states it.
9) What is this door gasketing actually made of, and will it hold up outdoors?
Extruded aluminum retainer with an elastomeric sealing insert. The insert is silicone, neoprene, or PVC depending on configuration. Aluminum resists corrosion, and the anodized finishes add a harder surface than mill, so it is usable on exterior openings. For an exterior door where you want a dark frame that will not chalk, take the bronze anodized.
10) What is the difference between this and a magnetic door seal or a brush seal?
This Zero International set is a compression seal: an elastomeric insert in an aluminum retainer that the door face presses against. A magnetic seal like the NGP 159MA uses a magnetic strip that pulls to the door, which only works on a steel door and gives a very tight acoustic and smoke seal. A brush seal like the NGP 602A uses nylon filament, which drags less and tolerates a door that is out of true, but it does not seal air as tightly. For general air, light, smoke, and sound control on wood, metal, or composite doors, the compression type is the standard choice.
11) What are my alternatives if I want a vinyl or neoprene insert instead?
ZenSupply carries a few comparable aluminum-retainer perimeter seals. The NGP 155V is a vinyl perimeter seal in a mill aluminum frame. The NGP 108NA uses a neoprene sponge insert in anodized aluminum and is rated for -20 F to 200 F, which is the one to look at for a boiler room or a freezer vestibule. Cal-Royal's PG-601 is an aluminum channel gasketing with a vinyl insert.
12) Do I need to buy screws or a separate install kit for this gasketing?
No extra hardware needed for a standard install. Mounting screws and installation instructions ship with the gasketing, and the retainer arrives pre-drilled and slotted. All you supply is a chop saw or hacksaw if the pieces need cutting to the opening and a drill or driver.
13) What gives a tighter acoustic seal than standard compression gasketing on a jamb?
The Zero International head and jamb gasketing seals by compression, with the insert held against the door by an extruded aluminum carrier on the head and jamb. Where an opening needs the seal to pull itself closed rather than rely on the door resting tight, the NGP 159MA magnetic seal in an 84 inch anodized aluminum length uses a magnetic element to draw against a steel door face. Magnetic seals require a ferrous door or a steel strike surface, so on wood or composite doors the compression gasketing is the workable choice - the Zero profile is intended for wood, metal, or composite.
14) If I want an anodized finish on a perimeter seal, what are my options?
The Zero International head and jamb gasketing is offered in mill, clear anodized, or bronze anodized. Among comparable aluminum perimeter seals, the NGP 108NA and the NGP 602A are supplied with anodized aluminum, and the NGP 159MA magnetic seal is anodized as well; the NGP 155V vinyl perimeter seal uses a mill aluminum frame. If the specification calls out bronze anodized to match other frame trim, the Zero profile covers that directly.
15) Can I use a door shoe instead of head and jamb gasketing?
No - they cover different parts of the opening. The Zero International 36 inch by 96 inch head and jamb gasketing seals the perimeter at the top and both sides of the frame. A door shoe attaches to the bottom of the door leaf and seals to the threshold. The Cal-Royal PG-601 is an aluminum channel perimeter gasketing with a vinyl insert and is the perimeter-seal counterpart if you are cross-shopping; a bottom seal is an additional item, not a replacement for the head and jamb run.
16) What finish should I pick to match the rest of my door frames?
Three choices: mill (plain aluminum, the usual pick when the frame is painted over after install), clear anodized (matches aluminum storefront and most commercial frames), and bronze anodized (for dark bronze storefront and dark painted hollow metal). Clear anodized is the default on aluminum entrances.
17) Is this a commercial grade perimeter seal or a residential weatherstrip?
It is classed as commercial door hardware, and the aluminum-and-elastomeric build is the type spec'd on institutional and commercial openings. It will work fine on a residential door too, but you are buying a commercial perimeter seal, not a foam tape strip.
