A door threshold, also known as a door sill, is a piece of material installed beneath a door to seal the gap between the door and the floor, preventing drafts, water, and debris from entering the building. It serves as a protective barrier that enhances energy efficiency, improves safety by reducing tripping hazards, and provides a finished look to the doorway.
The 2005 Series Latching Panic Saddle Threshold has a 5" width and allows for a 3/8" door clearance. It's designed to protect against sound, air infiltration, wind, and debris and is compatible with surface-applied vertical rod exit devices, while also acting as a door stop and seal. It includes an integrated gasket offering ThermoSeal (T), Eco-V (V), and Pile Brush (P) options. This threshold is sound air infiltration tested, fire rated, and BHMA certified.
