This latching panic saddle threshold handles dual roles at exterior doors equipped with panic exit devices. The aluminum and vinyl construction creates a weatherproof seal while providing a secure latching mechanism for surface-applied vertical rod exit hardware. Pemko designed this 5-inch wide threshold to stop air infiltration, wind, and debris while maintaining ADA compliance with proper door clearances.
The integrated vinyl gasket seals the door bottom against weather intrusion. The latching mechanism works with panic exit systems to secure doors during normal operation while allowing immediate egress during emergencies. For facilities requiring panic hardware compliance, this threshold integrates with exit devices on assembly and educational occupancies. The aluminum construction resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity under heavy traffic.
