Video review of Pemko 221APK Mill Finish Aluminum Door Shoe - Pemko Prene insert

This video is to bring you a closer look at the Pemko 221APK Mill Finish Aluminum Door Shoe - Pemko Prene insert. The 221 represents the fact that this is a large u-shaped door bottom. The 'A' means that this is in the mill aluminum finish. The 'PK' means that the seal is Pemko Prene (Pemko's own silicone seal brand). This seal is a higher performing material compared to vinyl. Screws are included in a complimentary finish (#6 x 5/8"). This large unit is generally never used in a new installation, however they can be used in new installations when you have an unusual flooring condition. People have used this when they've wanted more resistance to corrosion (i.e. winter time, salt, ect.). You can buy the seal separately once it starts to fatigue. There is an image below this video showing everything important dimensionally about the item. It has a 3" face dimension. There is a 1/2" from the bottom of the extrusion to the bottom of the seal. Calculating your undercut is a must, it can't be much less than a 1/2" otherwise it will bind. This is used very commonly when the bottom of a door is compromised, damaged, rusted, ect. Available with and without a drip cap (reach out to us). Available in several different finishes and lengths on the website as well. If you have need for a custom length by all means let us know by ordering the next longest piece or pieces and indicating in the comment field what size you'd like for us to cut the material back to. The reason for this is if you had to cut this 36" piece down to 32", you'd eliminate that slotted hole and be forced to drill another one. It's nice to have that slotted hole because it will allow you to have some vertical adjustment once on the door to compensate for an uneven sill or a door that is not plum. It's tough to drill a slotted hole especially if you have not used a center punch. If you order a custom length we will not only locate the holes in the proper dimension from the edge, but also the proper center to center a well. This is only for an 1-3/4" door.
