Video review of Pemko 8452DQ Dark Bronze Anodized Aluminum Outswing Fixed Bumper Sill Residential Threshold

This video is to bring you a closer look at the Pemko 8452DQ Dark Bronze Anodized Aluminum Outswing Fixed Bumper Sill Residential Threshold. The 8452 represents that this is a residential aluminum fixed top out-swing type of threshold. 'D' stands for the dark bronze finish (available in the mill aluminum finish as well). The 'Q' stands for the Q-Lon seal material insert. There is an image below this video showing everything important dimensionally about the threshold. This is 4-9/16" wide. Overall height of 3/4". The projection of the Q-Lon is 3/8". The height of the lower portion is about 3/8". If you had a 1/2" undercut you'd be in good shape. You can add an extension on the inside, those are available (part number ZXT, add dimension and letter for the finish). These will be installed on wood frames. People who buy these are typically in the pre--hanging door business (wood door/frame industry). They will take this threshold (after they miter the bottom of the jambs- the stops) and they will attach the bottom of the frames right to the edge of the wood backer itself. The Q-Lon is available as a replacement seal as well (Q103). This is a high-dam sort of design that helps prevent the intrusion of water. You'll see these typically on the exterior doors of homes, they don't always have to swing out. You'll even see these on condo buildings. These are a fixed sill style, your door will reside on the lower portion, you'' want to work with this before you determine your cut-out. If you're cutting a frame for this you'll need to know the slope and that's typically 5 degrees. It's not stated specifically, but if you need to know feel free to reach out to us.
