Pemko 2008APK 4" Acoustic Latching Panic Threshold — 1/2" High Mill Aluminum with Encased Foam Seal

The Pemko 2008APK is a 4-inch wide acoustic latching panic threshold engineered for commercial door openings where sound attenuation and reliable door latching are essential requirements. Constructed from mill aluminum and fitted with an encased foam seal, this threshold rises just 1/2 inch above the floor — keeping the profile low while delivering a dependable acoustic seal each time the door closes. As a Pemko acoustic threshold, the 2008APK is part of a trusted line of commercial door hardware components recognized by architects, general contractors, facility managers, and door hardware specifiers across institutional, commercial, and high-performance building projects.

Institutional-Grade Features & Benefits

• Acoustic Performance: The encased foam seal compresses against the door bottom upon latching, creating a barrier that reduces sound transmission through the threshold gap — critical in offices, conference rooms, healthcare facilities, and any space with acoustic privacy requirements.
• Latching Panic Threshold Design: Engineered specifically as a latching panic threshold, the 2008APK is designed to work with panic hardware applications where the threshold must latch and seal consistently upon door closure.
• Low-Profile 1/2" Height: At only 1/2 inch high, this threshold meets accessibility considerations for commercial entrances and minimizes trip hazard concerns in high-traffic openings.
• 4" Width: The 4-inch threshold width provides ample coverage across the door bottom, ensuring a secure and consistent seal along the full width of the threshold zone.
• Mill Aluminum Construction: Mill aluminum delivers corrosion resistance, structural durability, and long service life in demanding commercial door applications — standing up to daily foot traffic and environmental exposure.
• Encased Foam Seal: The encased foam seal is protected within the aluminum body, guarding against wear and displacement while maintaining consistent compression and acoustic integrity over the life of the installation.
• Commercial-Grade Reliability: Pemko has long been a specification staple for architects and door hardware consultants; the 2008APK carries the brand reputation for precision-manufactured thresholds built to perform in real-world commercial environments.

Applications

• Commercial office suites and conference rooms requiring sound control
• Healthcare facilities, clinics, and patient-privacy spaces
• Educational buildings and institutional corridors
• Hotels, hospitality venues, and multi-tenant commercial buildings
• Any commercial door opening where a panic hardware threshold with acoustic sealing is specified
